When a sulfur atom gains two electrons what happens to it?
It becomes a sulfur ion with a charge of -2.
A chlorina atom becomes a chloride in when this happens?
A chlorine atom becomes a chloride ion when it gains an electron from a metal atom, such as sodium.
How does an atom of sulfur-36 become a sulfide ion with a -2 charge?
It becomes this ion after the gain of two electrons.
What happens when a magnesium atom loses an atom in its outer energy shell?
l
What happens when a sodium atom loses an electron in its outer shell?
It becomes positive.
When a sulfur atom gains two electrons what happens to it?
It becomes a sulfur ion with a charge of -2.
How many electrons does sulphide have?
Sulfur is a metal element. There are 16 electrons in a single atom.
How many electrons does a sulfur atom gain when it becomes a sulfide ion?
A sulfur atom gains 2 electrons when it becomes a sulfide ion.
When sulfur and hydrogen react together one sulfur atom will combine with how many hydrogen atoms?
Two hydrogen atoms to form hydrogen sulphide (H2S) . It is the smell of rotten eggs.
What happens when an atom loses an electron to another atom?
The atom that gains electron becomes an anion. The atom that loses electron becomes a cation.
What happens when atom looses electron?
If an atom loosed electrons then it becomes an ion. The electrical charge in the atom becomes a positive ion.
A chlorina atom becomes a chloride in when this happens?
A chlorine atom becomes a chloride ion when it gains an electron from a metal atom, such as sodium.
What Happens When An Atom Becomes Iron With A 2 Charge?
it becomes happy!
What are the elements of iron sulfide?
If you mean, "What elements make up iron sulphide," then they are Iron and Sulphur. Various 'types' of iron sulphide exist, including FeS (iron (II) sulphide), FeS2 (commonly known as pyrite, iron (II) disulphide or fool's gold), and Fe2S3 (iron (III) sulphide).
What happens to the energy to a neutral atom when an electron is added?
the atom becomes negatively charged
What happens when an atom looses electron?
If the atom loses electrons, the atom becomes positively charged because the number of positively charged protons.
Why does a sulphide ion has -2 charge?
When atomic SULPHUR forms the bond with another atom (or atoms) in which it becomes the ion SULPHIDE, it accepts two electrons from the outer shell of the other atom(s); giving it a relative negative charge. Examples are Iron (II) [old name Ferrous] Sulphide - FeS - or Potassium Sulphide - K2S [ionic potassium has a single positive charge - it donates a single electron when it forms an ionic bond]. (U.K. Sulphur/sulphide = U.S. Sulfur/sulfide!)
