Would the lithium atom be positively charged if the bromine atom were to attract electron from lithium?
Positively (apex)
If an atom loses or gains an electron?
Atoms with high electronegativity will want to GAIN electrons. The goal is to be like the noble gases. So an atom of Fluorine, the most electronegative, will want to gain an electron in order to fill its shell and be like Neon.
What is an element with a -1 charge in period 2?
It would be the ion fluoride, formed when a fluorine atom gains an electron. None of the elements on the periodic table are charged in their elemental state.
Would life be different if the electron were positively charged and the proton were negatively charged?
No, it would just be like changing the word. Like charges would still repel and opposite charges will still attract.
Are electrons negatively charged?
It is merely a sign convention. Electron does not have negative charge. We just know that there are two types of charges in nature. Opposite charges attract and like charges repel. We arbitrarily assume electron to have a charge called "negative". It would have been as well if we would have called charge on electron as "A" and charge on proton as "B". So its just an assumed name.
Why does potassium atom become positively charged and fluorine becomes negatively charged?
Potassium only needs to lose on electron (gain a positive charge) to have the same electron structure as Argon and thus very stable. Similarly, fluorine only needs to gain one electron (become negatively charged) to gain the very stable Neon structure.
Why the compounds of fluorine with oxygen are called fluorides of oxygen and not oxides of fluorine?
As fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen, fluorine acts as the electron acceptor in the compounds with oxygen. As fluorine becomes partially negative charged and positive for oxygen, they are called fluorides.
Does chlorine attract or release electrons?
A chlorine atom will attract a single electron to form a negatively charged ion with a -1 charge.
Are fluorine and fluoride related?
Fluorine is a name for the gas and the ion without the extra electron that fluorine will rip from any other (non-noble gas) element. F0 or F2 Fluoride is the name for the fluorine negatively charged ion. F-
If a chlorine atom were to attract an electron from sodium the chlorine atom would become charged.?
positively
What happens to an atom of fluorine when it forms an ionic bond in which it has the same electron configuration as neon?
A fluorine atom gains one atom in order to achieve the same electron configuration as neon. In doing so, the fluorine atom forms a fluoride ion with a 1- charge with the formula F-. As a negatively charged ion, it can form ionic bonds with various positively charged ions.
What involves the attraction of two oppositely charged ions?
In Ionic bonding, a metal and non - metal become ions and attract each other. The metal will lose an electron and become positively charged and the non-metal will gain an electron and become negatively charged. As opposite charges attract they form an ionic compound.
When lithium forms an ionic bond with fluorine which one of the atoms becomes a positively chraged ion?
Lithium becomes a cation (pos. charged) because it gives one electron to Fluorine.
Would the lithium atom be positively charged if the bromine atom were to attract electron from lithium?
Positively (apex)
What would be the electrical charge of a sodium atom that lost an electron?
if a chlorine atom were to attract an electron from a sodium atom it would become positively charged APEX
Which two subatomic particles have charges that attract to each other?
Proton (+) and Electron (-). Proton carries the positive charge particle of the atomic nucleus while the electron is negatively charged particle that occupy the space around an atomic nucleus.
Does fluorine form a cation or a anion?
Fluorine is a neutral atom, though fluoride is an anion. Fluorine does not form cations, or any compound, complex ion, or coordinate complex in which it has a positive oxidation state, unlike the other halogens.
