What is the ionic charge of neutral calcium that contains 20 protons 20 neutrons and 20 electrons and loses two electrons?
A neutral calcium atom that loses two electrons has a +2 charge.
What type of element loses electrons in ionic bonding and what type of charge will it create?
An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non metal. The METAL loses an electron (or electrons) and it becomes positively charged.
What is the ionic charge of argon?
Argon doesn't have an ionic charge because it is a noble element which means that it neither gains nor loses electrons. Note- see octet rule :)
What happens when Mg loses 2 electrons?
Two are lost by magnesium (which are in turn gained by the oxygen).
Is potassium sulfate a salt?
Potassium is a group 1 metal and is highly reactive. It readily loses electrons and forms ionic bonds. Bonds formed by potassium are almost 100% ionic. In the case of K2SO4, potassium loses the electrons and sulphate ion gains it.
If an atom loses 2 electrons when it forms an ion its ionic charge it is said to be?
+2 (plus 2)
What forms when atom gains or loses electrons?
An ionic bond.
What is the ionic charge of neutral calcium that contains 20 protons 20 neutrons and 20 electrons and loses two electrons?
A neutral calcium atom that loses two electrons has a +2 charge.
If calcium sulfide forms when calcium loses 2 electrons what is formed?
ionic compound
What type of element loses electrons in ionic bonding and what type of charge will it create?
An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non metal. The METAL loses an electron (or electrons) and it becomes positively charged.
What kind of bound forms when an atom gains or losses electrons?
When an atom gains or loses electrons and therefore becomes an ion, it takes on either a positive or negative charge (positive if it lost electrons, negative if it gained electrons) and can bond to ions of the opposite charge in an ionic bond.
What are the bonds ca?
Calcium, Ca, forms ionic bonds. It loses electrons to become the Ca2+ ion
What is the ionic charge of argon?
Argon doesn't have an ionic charge because it is a noble element which means that it neither gains nor loses electrons. Note- see octet rule :)
What kind of bond forms from the transfer of electrons?
An ionic bond forms from the transfer of electrons. The atom that loses one or more electrons forms a positively charged ion, and the atom that gains one or more electrons forms a negatively charged ion. The ionic bond is formed by an electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions.
Calcium sulfide forms when calcium loses 2 valence electrons to sulfur What type of a bond is formed?
ionic
Indicate the number of electrons lost or gained by calcium and give the charge of the ion it forms?
loses 2 electrons to form a calcium ion with 2+ charge
Calcium sulfide forms when calcium loses 2 valence electrons to sulfur what type of bond is formed?
An ionic bond.
