Metals donate electrons by losing electrons and forming positive ions.
It gains electrons!
If there are excess electrons in an atom, the atom is likely to be ionized; that is, the stom will emit the electrons.
if there is a large amount of electrons, heat will be conducted very fast.
The charge is positive
If is going to donate electrons
They become positively charged ions.
Donate electrons: oxidation.Accept electrons: reduction.
yes
Hg will not spontaneously donate electrons to copper.
Metals donate electrons by losing electrons and forming positive ions.
Donor atom should donate the electrons to get into a stable state... and sometimes to form an ionic compound..
If a non-metal combines with a metal, then the metal will donate electrons and the non-metal will accept electrons. An ionic bond is the result to form an ionic compound. If the non-metal combines with another non-metal, then both will share the electrons resulting in the formation of a covalent bond between them. The molecule is known as covalent compound.
nucleophiles
Ionic molecules donate electrons.
donate the electrons forming a cation.
Sodium is a metal element. There are 11 electrons in a single atom.
