Does group 2A elements lose or gain protons or electrons?
Group 2A elements tend to GAIN electrons!!
What tend to lose electrons in order to become stable?
In chemistry, metals are the elements that tend to lose electrons when they react to form compounds; Non-metals tend to gain electrons when they form compounds. When metals and non-metals react and exchange electrons with one another they form an ionic bond.
Do alkali metals tend to gain or lose electrons?
Alkali metals tend to lose electrons in chemical reactions.
What do other elements do to acquire a noble gas configuration?
Other elements can acquire a noble gas configuration by either gaining or losing electrons. Elements on the left side of the periodic table, such as alkali metals, tend to lose electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration. Elements on the right side of the periodic table, such as halogens, tend to gain electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration. Elements in the middle of the periodic table may gain or lose electrons to acquire a noble gas configuration, depending on the specific element and its properties.
What of atom tends to lose one electron?
Metals tend to lose electrons.
Does group 2A elements lose or gain protons or electrons?
Group 2A elements tend to GAIN electrons!!
When combining with other elements transition metals tend to do what with electrons?
lose
Do atoms of metallic elements tend to gain or lose electrons?
Metals usually lose electrons, this is why many charges are positive.
What elements tend to lose electrons to form a complete octet?
Basically anything with less than 4 electrons in it's outer shell will tend to lose them. If they have exactly four (the carbon group elements) its tougher to tell. But anything before the carbon group elements (not including the transition metals, they have their own rules) will lose electrons.
Why do group 2 elements tend to lose 2 electrons in a chemical reaction?
Group 2 elements are all metals, which already tend to lose 2 electrons. A simple way of explaining why group 2 loses two electrons is that atom's are most stable with 8 valence electrons, group 2 has has 2 valence electrons and therefore it is easier to lose 2 rather than gain 6.
Why do the outer electrons control what the atom does?
Outter electrons are involved in chemical reactions since they are the most vunerable. The elements towards the left of the periodic table tend to lose electrons to form Cations, while elements towards the right tend to form Anions.
What tend to lose electrons in order to become stable?
In chemistry, metals are the elements that tend to lose electrons when they react to form compounds; Non-metals tend to gain electrons when they form compounds. When metals and non-metals react and exchange electrons with one another they form an ionic bond.
Do alkali metals tend to gain or lose electrons?
Alkali metals tend to lose electrons in chemical reactions.
Why do metals tend to lose electrons to form positive?
Metals tend to lose electrons to form positive ions because, for metals to gain a full outer shell, they need to lose electrons.
Why do elements of a given period always follow the progression of metal to metalloid to nonmetal to nobel gas?
because they tend to lose electrons
Do the elements in the oxygen family tend to gain or lose electrons in chemical reactions?
that would depend on what specifically the were reacting with on each instance.
Which of the general statements below is true about main group group A elements?
Main group elements within a column tend to gain or lose the same number of electrons................A+
