What is a charged particle called that forms when an atom transfers electrons?
An ion.If the atom loses electrons it becomes a positive ion, a cation.If the atom gains electrons it becomes a negative ion, an anion.
What does an aluminum atom become when it loses its three valence electrons?
It would become an Aluminum ion that has a 3+ charge
If oxygen gains 2 electrons what charge will it have?
It would have a negative charge. It would be a negative ion with a 2+ charge.Remember: when an atom gains electrons they become NEGATIVE.when an atom loses electrons they become POSITIVE.
Atoms which lose electrons and become electrically charged are called?
Ions, or more specifically Cations. When an atom loses an electron it becomes positively charged and is attracted to a cathode, hence the name cation.
Is water evaporating an example of oxidation and why?
Evaporation of water is a physical process.No. Oxidation is a chemical process where the oxidized substance loses electrons - or in common use, when it becomes an oxide by bonding with oxygen. When water evaporates, the evaporated molecules retain all their electrons and gain no extra oxygen atoms - and when the evaporated water is recovered through condensation it's still water rather than hydrogen peroxide.
What are family that loses electrons eastiest?
The category that loses electrons easily is the metals.
Is the reactivity of a metal depend on how easily it loses its valence electrons?
yes it does. if the electrons are lost easily, reactivity is more.
What happens when it loses electrons?
all elements want to have a full valence shell and when an atom loses electrons it is said to become a cation.
Which family of metal loses electrons the easiest?
Carbon.
When does an atom lose electrons through an ionic bond?
An atom loses electrons through an ionic bond when it is a metal. This is because it will become stable more easily when it loses electrons than when it gains them.
What is formed when an atom that loses electrons relatively easily reacts with an atom that has a high affinity for electrons?
a binary ionic compound
Which element in an ionic bond loses electrons?
The metal, which becomes a cation. The non-metal gains one or more electrons to form an anion.
What elements would it be easier to remove two electrons from?
The halogens (group 17) and the alkali metals (group 1) combine to make full-shell compounds. The noble gases, group 18, already contains full shells and does not bond easily because of this.
Which group generally loses 3 valence electrons and are almost always combined with other elements in nature?
Group 3 elements
Which group on the periodic table loses 2 electrons to create an ion?
The elements in group 2 lose 2 electrons to create an ion.
Which loses its outermost electrons more easily bromine or krypton?
The answer is Bromine because krypton is noble gas.
Which element in the alkali metals most easily loses electrons and why?
This is francium because having a very lower electronegativity can loss easily an electron.
