What else can I help you with?
When metals react with other elements the atoms of the metals loose or gain electrons?
They will loose electrons.
What type of elements gain and loose electrons as they form bonds?
Metals lose electrons, nonmetals gain electrons.
When molecules are formed atoms share or loose electrons?
To form a molecule, atoms can share, lose, and gain electrons
What are formed by a loss or gain of valence electrons during a chemical combination of elements?
Cations are formed by the loss of electrons, anions are formed by the gain of electrons. The force of attraction between cations and anions results in ionic bond.
When metals react with other elements do the atoms of the metals gain or lose?
Metals are likely to make anions. So they lose electrons to get a positive charge. The other elements gain electrons and get negatively charged.
What elements gain electrons when they bond?
Nonmetals gain electrons in chemical reactions.
How does the octet rule determine the lose or gain of electrons by representative elements?
The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to have a full outer shell of 8 electrons, like the noble gases. Representative elements either gain or lose electrons to achieve this stable electron configuration, becoming ions with a charge that corresponds to the number of electrons gained or lost.
What charge results when specific elements become an ion?
When an element becomes an ion, it can either gain or lose electrons. If it loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation). If it gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). The charge of an ion is determined by the number of electrons it has gained or lost.
How nay electrons does nitrogen gain or loose in atomic bonding?
It gains three, loses five, or shares pairs of electrons
Do in ionic bonding atoms loose or gain electrons?
Actually both. Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions whereas when atoms lose electrons positively charged cations are formed. Ionic bond is the force of attraction between cations and anions
Do non-metal atoms need to gain electrons or loose them?
They need to gain them.
Does group 2A elements lose or gain protons or electrons?
Group 2A elements tend to GAIN electrons!!
