Which element will gain three electrons to form an anion?
Nitrogen will gain three electrons to form a nitride anion with a charge of -3.
What is an element with no properties of a metal called?
An element with no properties of a metal is called a nonmetal. Nonmetals generally have low melting points, poor conductivity, and tend to gain electrons in chemical reactions. Examples include sulfur, carbon, and oxygen.
How can tell if an element has been oxidized or reduced in a reaction?
If an element has gained electrons, it has been reduced. If an element has lost electrons, it has been oxidized. This can be determined by comparing the oxidation state of the element before and after the reaction.
What determines the oxidation state of an element?
The oxidation state of an element is determined by the number of electrons it loses or gains when forming a compound. It depends on the element's position in the periodic table and its ability to either lose or gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. The rules for assigning oxidation states are based on the idea that atoms tend to gain or lose electrons to achieve a full outer shell.
Which element would be most likely to gain electrons in a chemical bond?
The Halide gasses (Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine etc. ) because they only need to gain 1 electron to fill its outermost energy level.
Which reactive element will gain or loses an electron?
Generally metals lose electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
Which element will gain three electrons to form an anion?
Nitrogen will gain three electrons to form a nitride anion with a charge of -3.
How many electrons are lost or gained in the element o when they form ions?
atoms gain and lose electrons, so they can have a full outer shell of 8 electrons (or two electrons if its the innermost shell) when atoms lose electrons it is called oxidation and when they gain electrons they are said to be reduced. OIL RIG is most commonly used to help remember that oxidation is loss and reduction is gain of electons. when atoms lose electrons they are left with a positive charge and when they can electrons they have a negative charge.
Loss or gain of electrons?
In what context? A particular element or what?
What does an element need to gain to become an isotope?
electrons
An element that has two outer electrons seeks to gain six more?
An element that has two outer electrons is carbon. Carbon would not use the energy to gain six more electrons when it can easily get rid of the two outer electrons.
An element with seven electrons are called what?
An element with seven electrons is called nitrogen.
What does it mean of an element to be reduced?
Reduction is equivalent to a gain of electrons.
How many electrons does the element selenium have with the charge of negative 2?
It should gain 2 electrons
What is an element with no properties of a metal called?
An element with no properties of a metal is called a nonmetal. Nonmetals generally have low melting points, poor conductivity, and tend to gain electrons in chemical reactions. Examples include sulfur, carbon, and oxygen.
When do element lose or gain electrons?
Ionic Bond is the answer SGT John
What is it called when gain of electrons or H?
Gain of electrons form anions (negative charged atoms).
