Is calcium more likely to gain or lose electrons?

Calcium is most likely to lose two electrons to form its dipositive ion.


Is potassium more reactive or less reactive then hydrogen?

potassium is more reactive because it has more outer shells of electrons than hydrogen. more outer shells means a weaker pull from the positive proton. this means it is easier to lose an electron with a weaker pull from the proton

Is most atoms have more electrons than proton?

No. Atoms have the same number of protons and electrons. When atoms gain or lose electrons they are called ions.


What is glycine buffer for?

NH2CH2CO2HAmino acids are zwitter-ions, meaning they can have charges on both the amino & carboxylic groups, and yet have no net charge. Confused? wait! The amino group, -NH2 can become -NH3+, while the carboxylic group -COOH becomes -COO-. This is the zwitter ion. This is the form that predominates at ambient conditions. When in acidic media, the -COO- group grabs a proton, becoms -COOH and gets rid of the H+. The amino acid now has a net positive charge, (fully protonated, two protons at both acid & amino ends), so we call it the protonated form. In basic media, the -NH3+ group donates a proton to the medium (with extra OH-), to form H2O, thus getting rid of extra OH-. The amino acid now bears a net negative charge, so we call it anionic form. This is known as pseudo-buffer action. You should also be aware that although amino acids show this behaviour, it is limited and amino acids themselves are not classified as buffers

Why does electron withdrawing groups increase acidity?

Assuming the groups are conjugated to the acid/base groups: An acid wants to lose a proton. When it loses a proton, you form an anion (or a neutral molecule, but when talking about electron donating/withdrawing groups, you assume there is a charge). The more stable the anion, the more easily the proton comes off, and the more acidic it is. A base is the opposite. A base gains a proton to become cationic. The more stable the cation, the more likely it is to pick up a proton, and the more basic it is. An electron withdrawing group can stabilize an anion (and thus make something more acidic) and an electron donating group can stabilze a cation (and make something more basic). The opposites also hold true: an electron donating group can destabilize an anion and make something less acidic, and vice versa for bases.


Would potassium be more likely to give or receive electrons?

Potassium lose an electron.

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.


Is an atom or a proton more complex?

A proton is just one constituent of an atom therefore the atom is more complex.
