What else can I help you with?
Atoms like sodium and lithium often lose electrons, which makes them?
The kind of atom that likes to be oxidized.
Atoms of metals do what with electrons to become stable while atoms nonmetals tend to do what to electrons to become stable?
Choices: a) eject, retain B) lose, gain c) retain,gain d) gain, lose e) lose, retain
Which of the following statements are true about whether atoms tend to gain or lose electrons?
Atoms with eight valence electrons usually do not gain or lose electrons. Atoms with one, two, or three valence electrons will lose electrons.
When metals combine with nonmetals the atoms of the metals tend to lose electrons to the atoms of the nonmetalsforming wich bond?
Ionic bond.
Do atoms of metallic elements tend to gain or lose electrons?
Atoms of metallic elements tend to lose electrons to form positively charged ions. This is because metallic elements have few electrons in their outer shells, making it easier for them to lose electrons and achieve a stable electron configuration.
What do atoms on the left side of the periodic table tend to do?
Atoms on the left side of the periodic table tend to lose electrons to achieve a full outer energy level, forming positive ions. These elements are typically metals and exhibit metallic properties such as luster and conductivity. They also tend to form cations in chemical reactions.
How do you get a noble gas configuration?
Atoms lose or gain or share electrons and tend to attain noble gas configuration
What atoms tend to gain two electrons to form a anion?
se and sometimes gain electrons. Atoms with eight valence electrons do not easily lose electrons
Is it true atoms with fewer than 4 valence electrons tend to gain electrons when bonding?
No! Atoms with more than 4 electrons gain electrons during bonding. Atoms with less than 4 electrons tend to lose electrons during bonding. Hope this helps!
What type of bonds are formed when metal atoms combine with nonmetal Atoms?
Ionic bonds are formed when metal atoms combine with nonmetal atoms. Metal atoms tend to lose electrons to form positive ions, while nonmetal atoms tend to gain electrons to form negative ions, resulting in the attraction between the oppositely charged ions forming the ionic bond.
What does atoms tend to gain lose or share electrons so as to have 8 electrons?
A completely filled shell of electrons has 8 electrons.
When atoms of elements on the left side of the periodic table ionize they tend to?
When atoms of elements on the left side of the periodic table ionize, they tend to lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration like a noble gas. This results in the formation of positive ions.
