How many electrons will nitrogen gain from forming an ion?
Three. In fact, any element in the same column of the periodic table as nitrogen will also gain three electrons when forming an ion.
What rule is used to predict the number of electrons that must be lost or gained in order to achieve stability?
For doing so, firstly the electronic configuration of the element is written.Then it is seen how many electrons does the element has in its valence shell.The max. no. of electrons that can be present in the valence shell is 8. So, if the element has less than 4 electrons in the valence shell, then it looses them to form stable ion and if it has more than 4 electrons, it must gain 8-no. of valence electrons to form stable ion. If the element has 4 valence electrons, then it shares them with other atoms to form compounds.
How many electrons does chrominum gain to form an ion?
Chromium lose 6 or 3 electrons.
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.
When this element gains 2 electrons it has the electron configuration of the noble gas Argon?
The element is sulfur with 16 electrons. It gains two electrons to form sulfide ion which has 18 electrons as that of argon.
Does iodine gain electrons?
it gains one electrons to form I- ion
How many electrons will Calcium gain in forming an ion?
None.Calcium loses 2 electrons to form an ion.
What is formed by the sharing or gain and loss of electrons?
An ion is formed by the sharing of electrons. An ion is an atom of an element with a charge. Atoms lose or gain electrons to get the stable electronic configuration of the nearest gas.
What does a nonmetal atom need to do to form an ion?
A non metal needs to GAIN electrons to form an ion
Does rubidium lose or gain electrons to form an ion?
lose
What type of ion will sulfure form?
A sulfur atom will gain two electrons to form a 2- sulfide ion.
How many electrons will nitrogen gain from forming an ion?

How many electrons does chrominum gain to form an ion?
Chromium lose 6 or 3 electrons.
How many electrons are needed to be gained to obtain a Noble Gas Configuration for the element Al?
Aluminium should gain 5 electrons or lose 3 electrons. It will normally lose 3 electrons to form Al3+ ion, rather than gaining 5 electrons and forming Al5- ion.
What happens toa nonmetal to form an ion?
A nonmetal will gain one or more electrons in order to form a negatively charged ion.
What element has 10 electrons when it form an anion with a 2 negative charge.?
A certain element forms an ion with 10 electrons and a charge of +2. Identify the element
