What else can I help you with?
Chlorine will tend to lose all of its seven outer electron or gain one electron?
Chlorine will tend to gain one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration with a full outer shell. This results in the formation of the chloride ion, which has a full outer shell of electrons.
What tends to gain electrons?
Elements on the right of the periodic table but not in group 0/8 tend to gain electrons. Those in group 7 tend to gain 1 electron and those in group 6 tend to gain 2.
Does Krypton tend to lose, gain, or share its electron?
Krypton tends to neither lose nor gain electrons since it has a full outer electron shell, making it stable.
Nonmetals during a chemical combinations tend to do what?
Non-metals during a chemical combinations tend to gain electrons. Metals in chemical reactions will tend to lose their electrons easily.
Does bromine tend to lose or gain electrons to become an ion?
Bromine tends to gain one electron to become a Br- ion.
Why do non-metals tend to gain electrons instead of losing them?
Non-metals tend to gain electrons instead of losing them because they have higher electronegativity, which means they have a stronger attraction for electrons. This allows them to easily gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
When a valance shell has 7 electrons will it gain or lose an electron?
It will gain an electron so that it can complete a full outer shell of 8 electrons.
What are elements that gain or lose 1 electron when they react?
The Halogen family (which consists of Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine) have 7 valance electrons. I know that the atoms of these elements only need to GAIN 1 electron to fill their outtermost energy level.
Which elements have positive electron gain enthalpy?
It should be Fluorine but Chlorine has most EGE value because the F atom has very small sizeas compared to Cl. Addition of extra electron creates higher electron density and thus strong electron - electron repulsion comes into act. So extra electron is not accepted with the same ease as in the case of remaining elements of the group
What do non metals and metals tend to do?
Nonmetals tend to gain electrons to achieve a stable outer electron configuration, forming negatively charged ions. Metals tend to lose electrons to achieve a stable outer electron configuration, forming positively charged ions. This difference in electron behavior often leads to the formation of ionic compounds between metals and nonmetals.
Why do elements in group 17 have an oxidation number of -1?
Elements in group 17 (halogens) have seven valence electrons and tend to gain one electron to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons, resulting in an oxidation number of -1. This electron gain corresponds to achieving the stable electron configuration of a noble gas.
Why does fluorine atom atom tend to gain only one electron?
Fluorine has 7 valence electrons and needs 1 more to achieve a stable octet configuration. It is easier for fluorine to gain 1 electron rather than lose 7 to complete its valence shell, making it more favorable for it to gain one electron.
