Do Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons?
Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons, but rather share electrons.
How many electrons does oxygen have to gain in order to achieve a noble-gas electron configuration?
Lithium has one valence electron. It is much easier for an atom to lose one electron than gain seven more. Lithium looses this one electron to achieve a full outer shell (the next inside shell is full).
How many electrons is needed to gain or lose to fill the outer shell?
It depends what element for example, lithium would need to gain 7 electrons or lose 1 so that the outer-most shell is full. However, elements like neon (which is a noble gas) don't need to gain or lose any electrons since the outer shell is already filled. It depends on it's place in the periodic table of the elements.
Do polonium lose or gain electrons to reach 8?
Polonium lose electrons.
Does sn gain or lose electrons?
sn lose 4 electrons
Would atom with an atomic number of 3 lose or gain electrons?
Lithium loses electrons.
How many electrons does lithium lose or gain to achieve a stable octet configuration?
Lithium is in group 1 of the Periodic How_many_electrons_must_the_lithium_atom_give_up_to_become_stable, so it must lose one electron for it to attain a full outermost energy level and become stable.The charge will then be positive (+).
Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
No. Atoms can gain and lose electrons but seldom gain or lose protons.
How many electrons does lithium gain?
Lithium loses one electron when it reacts
How do lithium and fluorine become stable together?
lithium donates the electron in its outer orbital to fluorine which then has a completed outer shell
How many electrons can phosphorous gain or lose?
It needs to gain 3 electrons than to lose 5 electrons. So phosphorus has to gain 3 electrons.
Do Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons?
Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons, but rather share electrons.
How many electrons does oxygen have to gain in order to achieve a noble-gas electron configuration?
Lithium has one valence electron. It is much easier for an atom to lose one electron than gain seven more. Lithium looses this one electron to achieve a full outer shell (the next inside shell is full).
When compounds gain electrons they lose or gain energy?
Lose
When atoms lose or gain electrons they from?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
Will lithium gain one electron when it reacts to form a compound?
No. Lithium will lose an electron.
Will Se lose or gain electrons and how many?
Se will gain electrons
