It becomes a positive ion.
It becomes possitively charged.It is oxidized.
It becomes a positive ion, and also connects with the atom that stoles its electron.
An atom becomes more positive when it loses an electron because electrons carry a negative charge. When an atom gains an electron, the atom becomes more negative.
Cesium typically loses one electron to form a Cs+ cation because it has one valence electron in its outermost electron shell.
The increase in ionic radius from silicon to phosphorus is due to the addition of an extra electron in the outermost shell of the atom. This added electron increases the electron-electron repulsion forces, causing the electron cloud to expand and the ionic radius to increase.
When a sodium atom loses an electron from its outer energy shell, it becomes a positively charged ion, known as a sodium ion (Na⁺). This process occurs because sodium has one electron in its outermost shell, which it readily loses to achieve a more stable electron configuration, similar to that of the noble gases. The loss of this electron results in a full outer shell, making the sodium ion more stable and reactive in ionic compounds.
There are 5 electrons in the outermost electron shell of a phosphorus atom. Phosphorus has an electron configuration of 2, 8, 5.
There are 5 electrons in the outermost electron shell of a phosphorus atom. Phosphorus has the electron configuration 2-8-5, so it has 5 electrons in its outermost shell.
Electrons in the outermost electron shell have the most energy in an atom. The energy of an electron increases as it moves further away from the nucleus. Electrons in the innermost shell have the least energy, while electrons in the nucleus have the highest energy due to their proximity to the protons.
Valence.
This electron is a valance electron.
It becomes a positive ion.
