The ions in NaCl are sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-). In a NaCl crystal lattice, sodium atoms lose an electron to form positively charged sodium ions, while chlorine atoms gain an electron to form negatively charged chloride ions.
Sodium atom lose an electron.
An ion is an atom with a net electric charge. An ion is formed when an atom either gains or loses a valence electron. Atoms with an unfilled outer shell tend to gain or lose electrons so they can achieve a filled outer shell. Atoms that gain an electron are negative ions, and atoms that lose an electron are positive ions.
Ions do not share electrons with other atoms. Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Positive ions (cations) lose electrons, while negative ions (anions) gain electrons.
Alkali metals lose one electron when it becomes an ion.
They lose valence electron(s), becoming positively charged ions.
No. They gain electrons
Group 1 elements a.k.a. Alkali metals lose 1 electron to form 1+ ions
Neither. It does not form ions.
se
It shrinks loosing an electron.
The atoms of the group 1 elements, called the alkali metals, lose one electron and form positively charged ions in order form ionic compounds with negative ions of nonmetals, or negatively charged polyatomic ions.
lose one electron to become positively charged.
positive charge.
The ions in NaCl are sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-). In a NaCl crystal lattice, sodium atoms lose an electron to form positively charged sodium ions, while chlorine atoms gain an electron to form negatively charged chloride ions.
When sodium atoms react with iodine atoms, they undergo a redox reaction to form sodium iodide. Sodium atoms lose an electron to form Na+ ions, while iodine atoms gain an electron to form I- ions. These ions then combine to form sodium iodide crystals.
Group 1 elements (alkali metals such as sodium, potassium) lose 1 electron to form ions with a +1 charge.
