What else can I help you with?
What is the rule?
atoms either loose or gain a maximum of 2 valence electrons like hydrogen
When metals react with other elements the atoms of the metals loose or gain electrons?
They will loose electrons.
When molecules are formed atoms share or loose electrons?
To form a molecule, atoms can share, lose, and gain electrons
What happens when atoms gain loose or share electrons?
When atoms gain, lose, or share electrons, they form chemical bonds, leading to the creation of ions or molecules. Gaining or losing electrons results in the formation of ions: atoms that are positively charged (cations) when they lose electrons, or negatively charged (anions) when they gain electrons. Sharing electrons typically occurs in covalent bonds, where two or more atoms form a stable molecule by overlapping their electron clouds. These interactions are fundamental to the formation of compounds and the chemical behavior of substances.
What is a substance that has lost or gained electrons?
Most atoms have the ability to lose electrons, given the conditions are favorable, e.g. in a chemical reaction, but the ones that loose their electrons easiest are the ones with only a few electrons in their outer shell, such as the alkali metals and alkaline earth metals which only have 1 and two electrons, respectively.
Atoms are split to produce .?
other atoms, some loose protons, electrons, and neutrons (which get attached to other atoms and change them) and energy.
Do non-metal atoms need to gain electrons or loose them?
They need to gain them.
When atoms become ions their outer most shells of electrons become?
they add or loose electrons from the outer most shells
What are the electrons that have high energy levels and are loose in an atom?
conduction band electrons detach themselves from atoms and become delocalized
How many is atoms those sulfur loose or win to form an ion?
None the formation of an ion has nothing to do with losing or winning atoms.
Would an atoms with 3 electrons in level m tend to gain or loose electrons?
An atom with 3 electrons in level M would tend to either gain 5 electrons to complete level M or lose 3 electrons to complete the previous level. The tendency would depend on the element and its electronegativity.
Does calcium prefer to gain or loose electrons in a chemical reaction?
gains 1
