As a general rule, the noble gases do not lose or gain valence electrons because in most reactions they are considered inert.
These are the 5 INERTIA: He, Ne, Ar, Xe and Kr because they don't interact with electrons from other elements, which means they are inert elements
The elements in Group-18 do not want to gain or lose electrons. These elements are called Noble Gases.
Elements in group 18, the noble gases, do not form chemical bonds under standard conditions of temperature and pressure.
The lower inert gases - He, Ne, Ar
Helium.
Metals want to lose electrons while non-metals gain them. An ion that loses electrons becomes positive and a cation.
Group-14 elements share electrons. they form covalent bonds.
they want to become stable by having all of the valence filled they want to become stable by having all of the valence filled
It wishes to lose 1 electron.
These elements are called ions. Elements choose to lose or gain electrons because they want to achieve electronic stability. All metals lose electrons and all non-metals gain electrons to get the respective stable electronic structure they want. As for metalloids, some elements in there gain while some lose electrons. When elements lose or gain electrons, they will form a charge, since the number of protons and neutrons are not balanced now. All non-metals form negative charged ions while all metals form positive charged ions. Compounds are formed when a positively charged ion is attracted to an negatively charged ion by the electrostatic force of attraction. For example, sodium chloride is a compound of sodium ion and chlorine ion. The positively charged sodium ion is attracted to the negatively charged chloride ion to form the compount.
As fluorine is a halogen (the group in which the elements are more reactive as they are one electron lesser than that of the octet configuration)and hence it can only gain electrons.
they will lose electron to form mono positive cation
Lose 2Alkaline-earth metals have 2 outer shell electrons. All atoms "want" eight. They will achieve a full outer shell by losing or gaining the least number of electrons. Since group 2A elements have two valence electrons, they would either have to gain 6 electrons or lose 2. It is easier to lose 2.
Boron, Krypton,Neon, and Radon Krypton, Neon and Radon do not gain electrons. Because an atom wants to have eight electrons in their valence shell or their outermost shell, and Krypto, Neon and Radon are Noble Gases which already have eight in their valence shells, so they don't lose or gain electrons. And as for Boron it want's to gain 5 electrons because it only has three in its valence shell.
These with a positive charge.
Metals want to lose electrons while non-metals gain them. An ion that loses electrons becomes positive and a cation.
Non-metals gain electrons when forming ionic bonds, forming negatively charged ions. Some examples include the oxide ion, O2-, the chloride ion, Cl-, and the nitride ion, N3-. Some compounds containing these anions include aluminum oxide, Al2O3, calcium chloride, CaCl2, and lithium nitride, Li3N.
Argon is a Noble Gas. Thus it does not lose or gain electrons.
According to the Octet Rule, the most valence electrons any atom can have is 8. Atoms naturally want to meet this rule either by losing or gaining enough electrons to have a total of 8 valence electrons. The nobel gases have exactly 8 valence electrons. The neither need to lose or gain any and therefore do not play well with others. The losing or gaining of valence electrons determines the stability and reactivity of the element.
The oxidation number of Neon is 0. It does not want to gain or lose any electrons. It already has a full octet, therefore it remains at 0.
The oxidation number of Neon is 0. It does not want to gain or lose any electrons. It already has a full octet, therefore it remains at 0.
