What is a charge of potassium?
The charge of potassium as metal, elementary, (pure) is zero, neutral, it is an element (K). Though in compounds it changes to an ION ( K+ ) with charge +1, because it donated its ONE outer electron to an oxidising agent (eg. oxygen).
What charge is the element phosphorus?
It has a negative charge; to be more specific it has a charge of -3, since it has only 5 valence electrons and it would like to gain 3 more to be stable at 8.
The common ion charge of some elements in the periodic table is zero what does that tell you about the element?
That it does not gain or loose electrons.
What is one way an element can achieve a stable electron configuration?
By losing or gaining electrons so that it's Valence level is full. This turns it in to a Stable Ion with either a positive or negative charge.
What is the charge on an atom of magnesium?
The neutral atom of magnesium has no electrical charge; the ion is bivalent.
In the atomic structure of an element a zero charge is exhibited by?
The zero charge in an atomic structure of an element is exhibited by the equal number of protons and electrons.
What charge is the oxidation number of an element?
zero
What is the most stable element in a nuclear sense?
The most stable element is any member of group ZERO or eight,they are called inert gases because they do not react,hence,stable.However,helium may be considered because it is in period 1 \having the less nuclear charge.
What should the net charge of an ionic compound be for it to be stable?
Zero. Only neutral ionic compounds are stable
What is a charge of an element?
Zero, nop, niente, nill
What is the charge on an diatomic element?
Zero. It will always be zero in its elemental state. Hope this helps.
Why are halogens the most stable ionic charge?
Halons are a class of element, not a type of charge. As for why the halogens have the most stable charges, they don't - at least not all of them.
What is a charge of potassium?
The charge of potassium as metal, elementary, (pure) is zero, neutral, it is an element (K). Though in compounds it changes to an ION ( K+ ) with charge +1, because it donated its ONE outer electron to an oxidising agent (eg. oxygen).
What is the overall charge for MgF2?
Mg as an element is zero oxygen as an element is likewise zero Mg as an ion +2 Oxgen as an ion -2 MgO compound net zero
What is property of photon?
Among others: mass zero; electric charge zero; stable (it doesn't decay); it can only move at the speed of light.
When forming a compound the chemical formula or compound is made stable with a net charge of zero by changing or adding?
When forming a compound the chemical formula or compound is made stable with a net charge of zero by the sharing of electrons (covalent compounds/molecules) or the transfer of electrons (ionic compounds).
What does an oxidation number of 3 plus mean?
An oxidation number of 3 means that the element has a charge within the compound of +3. For example: AlCl3 (Aluminum chloride). Cl has a charge of -1 because it gains 1 electron during bonding to become stable so Al has to have a charge of +3 to balance the overall charge of the compound to zero.
