Several elements react directly with metals to form salts. However, only those of group 17, fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine gain only one electron when they do so.

Forms salt when it gains an electron from a metal?
exposed
What charge do alkali metals form when they react with a halogen?
here r the possisble answers: both atoms lose 1 electron a covalent bond forms metal gains an electron and the nonmetal loses an electron metal loses an electron and non metal gains an electron
What Metal hydroxide plus acid?
When a metal hydroxide reacts with an acid, it forms water and a salt. The metal from the hydroxide forms the cation of the salt, while the anion from the acid forms the anion of the salt. This reaction is known as neutralization.
What happens to chlorine when it gains n atom from sodium?
When chlorine gains an electron from sodium, it forms a chloride ion. The chloride ion has a negative charge (Cl-) because it has gained an electron, making it more stable. This results in the formation of an ionic bond between the sodium cation (Na+) and the chloride anion (Cl-) to create sodium chloride (NaCl), commonly known as table salt.
Salt dissolve in water looses its protons?
No. When salt (Sodium Chloride) dissolves in water, the sodium loses an ELECTRON, and the chlorine gains an electron. But only nuclear reactions can affect the number of protons.
What happens when a chlorine atom gains an electron in its valence shell?
When a chlorine atom gains an electron in its valence shell, it forms a chloride ion with a negative charge. This gives the chlorine atom a full octet of electrons, making it more stable. Chloride ions are commonly found in ionic compounds such as sodium chloride (table salt).
What will be the nature of change on an atom when it loses an electron or when it gains an electron?
This changes its chemical and physical properties. EX: Chlorine as a pure substance is a greenish-yellow gas which is poisonous. Sodium as a pure substance is a highly reactive metal. Sodium ions (loss of electron by sodium) and chloride ions (gain of electrons by chlorine) form salt which is no longer poisonous, table salt is used for seasoning.
What is salt water corrosion?
Is the breaking down of electron in a metal due to chemical reaction which passes quicker through the salt to get to the metal
What is it called when a Halogen reacts with a metal?
When a halogen reacts with a metal, it forms a metal halide compound through a chemical reaction known as a halogenation reaction. This reaction involves the halogen gaining an electron to achieve a full outer electron shell, while the metal loses electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. The resulting metal halide compound typically has ionic bonding between the metal cation and the halide anion.
Is table salt a covalent or ionic bond?
NaCl is a ionic because here transfer of electron takes place
What kind of atom would form an ionic bond?
Metal and nonmetals form ionic bonds. The metal atom will give one or more electrons to the nonmetal atom. This is so that they can both have full electron shells. But by donating and accepting electrons, the metal becomes a positive ion as it has more protons than electrons, and the nonmetal becomes a negative ion as it has more electrons than protons. For instance, sodium chloride (salt). The sodium (metal) gives an electron to chlorine (nonmetal). By getting rid of one electron, the metal atom gains a full outer electron shell, and by accepting three electrons ( from 3 sodium atoms), the nonmetal atom also gains a full outer electron shell. But they both become ions. Hope this helps ( I'm only 14)
