What must happen for potassium to become stable?
Lose one electron
What does the fluorine atom do to become stable unreactive?
A stable arrangement of electrons in the outer shell is 8, but fluorine has only 7, that is why it is unstable. It needs another electron, desperately. No other element craves electrons as strongly as fluorine does.
How many electrons must tantalum need to gain or lose to become stable?
It needs to lose 3.
Why do atoms tend to be bonded to other atoms?
The correct answer is: Atoms are often more stable when bonded to other atoms
How many electrons would be required to make an oxygen atom stable?
It must gain 2 electrons to become stable then it would have a charge of -2 and be iso-electronic with Neon.
When comparing the electron configurations of neon and fluorine what must happen for fluorine to become stable?
flourine must gain one electron
What must happen for sodium to become stable?
sodium must lose one electron
What must happen for potassium to become stable?
Lose one electron
What must happen for a noble gas such as krypton to become stable?
Nothing. Krypton is already just about as stable as it's possible for an element to get.
What does the fluorine atom do to become stable unreactive?
A stable arrangement of electrons in the outer shell is 8, but fluorine has only 7, that is why it is unstable. It needs another electron, desperately. No other element craves electrons as strongly as fluorine does.
How many electrons must beryllium loose to become stable?
Beryllium is a stable element.
What must happen to a rock for it to become a metamorphic rock?
It must melt.
What must the Al and F do to attain the stable electron configuration of the noble gas closest to it in the periodic table?
Aluminium is a metal and will lose electrons, it will lose three and so become a positive ion 3+. Fluorine will gain one electron and become negative, 1-. They will then bond together (ionic bonding) to form AlF3.
What must happen before a hypothesis become a theory?
The Hypothesis Must Be Supported In Order For It To Become A Theory
How many times must oxygen bond to become stable?
it needs to bond twice
What must happen for a nucleus to be stable?
The strong nuclear force must balance electrostatic forces in the nucleus
What does an atom have to do to become stable?
Physically - If radioactive the nucleus must go through 1 or more decay steps until it becomes a stable isotope.Chemically - Become unionized and have all electrons relax to ground state.
