How many electrons does fluorine gain or lose in forming an ion?
Fluorine gains one electron to form a fluoride ion.
Is calcium more likely to gain or lose electrons?
Calcium is most likely to lose two electrons to form its dipositive ion.
Which atoms is least likely to form an ion fluorine magnesium silicon sodium?
Silicon. Magnesium and sodium are metals and readily lose electrons to form cations, Mg2+ and Na+. Fluorine readily gains an electron to form the anion F-. Silicon on the otherhand in group 14 would need to gain 4 or lose 4 electrons to achieve the octet.
Is uranium more likely to lose or gain electrons?
Uranium loose electrons becoming a cation.
If an atom has 3 electrons how many electrons are in the outer shell Will it be more likely to acquire or lose an electron?
If an atom has three electrons, it will have one valence electron (valance = outer shell). It will be more likely to lose an electron than gain one, since it has only one to lose, but seven to gain.
What is the name of electrons in the outermost shell that an atom can gain lose or share with another atom?
A Fluorine atom has an atomic number of 9. Draw out the electron shell diagram for Fluorine. Is a Fluorine atom more likely to gain, lose or share electrons to fill its valence shell?
How many electrons does fluorine gain or lose in forming an ion?
Fluorine gains one electron to form a fluoride ion.
Does fluroine lose or gain electrons?
Fluorine (F) gains 1 electron to fill its second energy level with 8 electrons.
Is calcium more likely to gain or lose electrons?
Calcium is most likely to lose two electrons to form its dipositive ion.
How do lithium and fluorine become stable together?
lithium donates the electron in its outer orbital to fluorine which then has a completed outer shell
Does chlorine want to gain or lose electrons?
As fluorine is a halogen (the group in which the elements are more reactive as they are one electron lesser than that of the octet configuration)and hence it can only gain electrons.
How many electrons would fluorine have to gain or lose too become stable what will be the stable ion's charge?
Fluorine will gain one electron to form F- (or fluoride) ion. Fluoride ion has a charge of -1.
Which is more reactive fluorine or barium and why?
Fluorine would be the more reactive element because it needs to gain one electron. While Barium needs to gain two electrons. Thus it is easier to gain one than to lose two.
Which atoms is least likely to form an ion fluorine magnesium silicon sodium?
Silicon. Magnesium and sodium are metals and readily lose electrons to form cations, Mg2+ and Na+. Fluorine readily gains an electron to form the anion F-. Silicon on the otherhand in group 14 would need to gain 4 or lose 4 electrons to achieve the octet.
Is fluorine the most reactive nonmetal?
With greater ionization energy, nonmetals have greater reactiveness. This is because they don't want to lose electrons at all! They will instead gain electrons to complete the octet.This proves true in the element Fluorine.
Is uranium more likely to lose or gain electrons?
Uranium loose electrons becoming a cation.
Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
No. Atoms can gain and lose electrons but seldom gain or lose protons.
