It depends! if an ion has 7 electrons on its outter region and it decides to gain 1 that would make it stable! if you have 8 on your second region and have an extra electron, you can loose it and the ion will be stable again!

Ions are atoms or groups of atoms that have?

Ions are atoms that have a postive or negative charge because they have loss or gained negative particles (electons).


Sometimes a group of covalently bonded atoms can act like a single atom when combining with other atoms. These covalently bonded groups possess a charge and usually form ionic bonds with other atoms.?

Polyatomic atoms


Polyatomic ions are tightly bound groups of what?

covalently bonded atoms that act like a single atom when combining with other atoms.


What groups gained least from the treaty Paris?

The groups gained the most while Great Britain had lost the land.


Why is calcium oxide an ionic bond?

Calcium hydroxide has groups of covalently bonded atoms that have either lost or gained electrons. It is an ion made up of two or more atoms that are covalently bonded and that act like a single ion. ~Ayanna~ Your answer doesn't answer the question. ****************** This answer will: The covalent part is between the O-H of the hydroxide. In this instance, O and H always bond covalently. Calcium's bond with the OH, which is a separate subject, is ionic, as in Ca ++ : (OH -) x 2 Almost all compounds involving metals are ionic, so this is typical. That should clear it up


What consists of two or more atoms covalently bonded together?

molecule


Atp contains what 3 functional groups covalently bonded together?

A phosphate, a sugar, and an adenine group. Or there are 3 phosphates together.


What groups gained least from the Treaty of Paris?

The groups gained the most while Great Britain had lost the land.


What leads to an ionic compound with polyatomic ions?

An ionic compound with polyatomic ions is formed through the attraction between positively charged metal ions and negatively charged polyatomic ions. Polyatomic ions are covalently bonded groups of atoms that have an overall charge, making them act as a single charged unit in the formation of ionic compounds.


What is the relationship between groups valance electrons and ionic charge?

The number of valence electrons in an atom determines its ability to form ions. Atoms that have few valence electrons tend to lose them to form positive ions, while atoms with many valence electrons tend to gain electrons to form negative ions. The ionic charge of an ion is related to the number of electrons gained or lost during the formation of the ion.
