Are electrons lost or gained during the formation of a negatively charged ion?
They are gained.
The octet rule is the tendency to have electrons in the shell after ion formation or bond formation?
The octet rule is the tendency to have eight electrons in the shell after ion or bond formation.. This gives the same configuration as a noble gas.
What happens when a lithium ion is attracted to a ion?
The lithium ion will be stripped of its electron by the flouride ion, resulting in an ionic bond, where the lithium atom will have 0 valence electrons and the fluoride ion will have 8
What is the only particle in a atom that is able to move from one atom to another?
Electrons can move from one atom to another during the formation of an ionic bond. In ionic bonding, one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another. The atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion, and the atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion.
How many electrons does a potassium ion have?
Potassium ion has 18 electrons.
What usually happens to valence electrons?
In metals, they are transfered during reactions or thought to be lost during ion formation
In electron transfer involving a metallic atom and nonmetallic atom during ion formation what happens to the atoms?
both atoms gain electrons
Are electrons lost or gained during the formation of a negatively charged ion?
They are gained.
The octet rule is the tendency to have electrons in the shell after ion formation or bond formation?
The octet rule is the tendency to have eight electrons in the shell after ion or bond formation.. This gives the same configuration as a noble gas.
What happens to an atom when it has 8 electrons?
It has 8 electrons. And if its not an ion, then it has 8 protons.
How would you compare the formation of positive ions with the formation of negative ions in terms of energy changes?
when a negative ion forms electrons are gained and energy is given off and when a positive ion forms electrons are lost and energy is used.
When does the formation of a positive ion occur?
When a neutral atom loses one or more electrons, the atom becomes a positive ion.
When an ion is created the number of these is changed in the atom?
electrons. the atom either gains or looses electrons to become negatively or positively charged. An ion can also be formed by the addition or subtraction of a neutron.
Describe the formation of both positive and negative ions?
A negative ion (anion) is the result of gaining electrons. A positive ion (cation) is the result of losing electrons.
What is the ion of aluminum?
The ion of aluminium is 'three plus' Symbollically 'Al^(3+)'.
What happens if electrons go missing or get added to an atom?
The elecrtons dont go missing they will transfer during reactions. The atom becomes a positive ion if it loses and negative if it gains electrons.
What happens to the structure of an atom to change the atom into an ion?
The loss or gain of electrons transform an atom in an ion.
