Does bromine tend to react by gaining electrons?
When a bromine atom reacts with a metal, it tends to gain an electron from the metal.
In the first group of elements in the periodic table what does the first group have in common?
They all have one valence electron in their outer shells and so tend to lose that electron in chemical reactions, gaining a +1 charge.
Are metals always gaining electrons when they react?
nonmetals tend to gain electrons when they react
When atoms of elements on the left side of the periodic table ionize they tend to?
They tend to loose electron. They form cations.
Metals tend to gain electrons to attain the electron configuration of noble gases?
true, just not for Boron witch tries to gain 6 electrons for a stable arrangement
Does fluorine tend to lose electrons?
Fluorine is a nonmetal. It is located in group 17 of the periodic table. It tends to obtain an electron to form the fluoride ion.Fluorine is the element with highest electronegativity. So it does not tend to lose electrons. It is in the 17th group of the periodic table.
Which best explains the bonding behavior of the family of elements in the Periodic table called metals?
Metals tend to form bonds by gaining electrons.
What tends to gain electrons?
Elements on the right of the periodic table but not in group 0/8 tend to gain electrons. Those in group 7 tend to gain 1 electron and those in group 6 tend to gain 2.
Why is it made the way it is made?
The columns are arranged by family as they all tend to react the same way. The rows are organized by the number of electron orbitals they have.
What is the part of the periodic table that has elements that do not chemically react?
All of them tend not to react with each other until you get lower down the group
How are the topics of ion formation and periodic trends related?
Periodic trends affect how certain elements on the periodic table react with each other. For example, Ionization energy tend : metals want to give off electrons , non metals want to gain electrons. This trend is essentially which elements are likely to react together and how they would react together, which is essentially ion formation (gain or loss of electrons through a reaction).
Why do atoms of non-metals form anions?
Non metals tend to be at the Right Hand Side of the periodic table. They therefore tend to need to GAIN electrons to get a stable octet-noble gas configuration. Gaining electrons mean they become anions. The reverse is true for metals.
