How element form ions that have a stable atomic structure like that found in a noble gas?
Ions are formed when elements gain or lose electrons.
How do positive and negative ions forms?
Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions. Atoms lose electrons to form positively charged cations.
What type of elements form positive ions and what are positive ions called?
The elements that lose electrons and form positive ions are called metals. They will lose the electrons from their highest levels of energy to gain a more positive charge and form positive ions.
How do atoms of metallic elements generally form ions?
Metals have a low number of valence electrons, so it is favorable for metals to lose electrons to form positive metallic ions and gain a complete v.e. shell.
What elements will not typically form ions?
The two groups that do not usually form ions include Group 14 and Group 18. Group 14 does not form ions. They do not gain or lose electrons either. Group 18 does not form ions because they contain stable noble gases.
Can atoms lose or gain atoms to form elements?
No. Atoms of an element lose or gain electrons to form ions.
When atoms lose or gain electrons they from?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
Do nonmetals lose electron when they form ions?
No. They gain electrons
Would argon lose or gain an electron?
Neither. It does not form ions.
What are elements lose electrons and form positive ions named?
The elements that lose electrons and form positive ions are called metals. They will lose the electrons from their highest levels of energy to gain a more positive charge and form positive ions.
Do acids lose or gain hydrogen ions?
Acids lose hydrogen ions.
Atoms gain or lose electrons to form ions?
They can do both to form ions. An ion simply means that there is an uneven distribution of charge, so it can be positive or negative.
What 2 way are ions form from atoms?
1. Gain an electron. 2. Lose an electron.
What do ions gain or lose?
Electrons
How can ions be described?
Ions are atoms that have lost or gained electrons. The number of protons in an atom remains unchanged but with loss or gain of electrons the charges becomes unbalanced, because the number of electrons is NOT equal to the number of protons. Ions can be divided into two viz. Cations ( positively charged) and Anions ( negatively charhed(. Here are some examples. Sodium atom has 11 protons(+) and 11 electrons(-). Sodium cation has 11 protons(+) and 10 electrons(-) If we do a little sum (+)11 - 10 = (+)1 This is indicated on the sodium cation as Na(s) = Na^(+) + e^(-) Similarly Calcium atom has 20 protons(+) and 20 electrons(-). Calcium cation has 20 protons(+) and 18 electrons(-) If we do a little sum (+)20 - 18 = (+)2 This is indicated on the calcium cation as Ca(s) = Ca^(2+) + 2e^(-) Conversely Chlorineatom has 17 protons(+) and 17 electrons(-). Chloride anion has 17 protons(+) and 18 electrons(-) If we do a little sum (+)17 - 18 = (-)1 This is indicated on the chloride anion as Cl(g) = Cl^(-) - e^(-) Similrly Oxygen atom has 8 protons(+) and 8 electrons(-). Oxide anion has 8 protons(+) and 10 electrons(-) If we do a little sum (+)8 - 10 = (-)2 This is indicated on the chloride anion as O(g) = O(2-) - 2e^(-) So ions are charged atoms. Or Ions have a charge, Atoms have no charge. Chemically, charged atoms are no longer atoms but IONS.
