What else can I help you with?
The loss of electrons by a molecule atom or ion is called?
oxidation. Gaining electrons is called reduction.
What is the loss of one or more electrons called?
Metallic has a tendency to lose electrons and form cations. Metallic is highly electrical and a thermal conductor. Metallic bonding occurs as a result of electromagnetism.
Can sulfur lose electrons?
Yes, sulfur can lose electrons. It typically loses two electrons to form a stable 2- oxidation state, such as in sulfide ions (S^2-). Sulfur can also form higher oxidation states and lose more electrons in certain compounds.
When a molecule gains oxygen or loses electrons its called?
When a molecule gains oxygen, it is called oxidation. When a molecule loses electrons, it is called reduction. Together, oxidation and reduction make up redox reactions.
How is an elements most likely oxidation state related to its valance electrons?
An element's most likely oxidation state is often related to its valence electrons because elements tend to gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. The number of valence electrons an element has can determine how many electrons it will gain or lose to reach a full or empty outer shell, resulting in a specific oxidation state.
The lose of electrons from a molucule is called?
Lose electrons is oxidation. To gain electrons is reduction.
What chemical reaction with other substances is called oxidation?
A reaction witrh oxygen is called oxidation. Generally oxidation involve lose of electrons.
Do metals tend to lose electrons when they rea ct?
yes, this is called oxidation
How many electrons are lost or gained in the element o when they form ions?
atoms gain and lose electrons, so they can have a full outer shell of 8 electrons (or two electrons if its the innermost shell) when atoms lose electrons it is called oxidation and when they gain electrons they are said to be reduced. OIL RIG is most commonly used to help remember that oxidation is loss and reduction is gain of electons. when atoms lose electrons they are left with a positive charge and when they can electrons they have a negative charge.
What reaction is reduction?
In chemistry, reduction is considered the gaining of electrons. Oxidation is the lose of electrons. They go together in reactions called redox (reduction/oxidation). You cannot have a reduction without also having an oxidation.
The loss of electrons by a molecule atom or ion is called?
oxidation. Gaining electrons is called reduction.
What is the loss of one or more electrons called?
Metallic has a tendency to lose electrons and form cations. Metallic is highly electrical and a thermal conductor. Metallic bonding occurs as a result of electromagnetism.
What do the oxidation number 2 imply?
The oxidation number of a chemical tells how many electrons it will gain or lose in a reaction. A positive oxidation number means that it will lose electrons, and a negative means it will gain them. A chemical with an oxidation number of 2+ would usually lose 2 electrons in a reaction.All of the Alkali earth metals (second column of the periodic table) have an oxidation number of 2+.
Can sulfur lose electrons?
Yes, sulfur can lose electrons. It typically loses two electrons to form a stable 2- oxidation state, such as in sulfide ions (S^2-). Sulfur can also form higher oxidation states and lose more electrons in certain compounds.
Oxidation number aluminum?
Aluminum has an oxidation number of +3. It wants to get a full outer shell of 8. So it will either lose or gain electrons. It is easier to lose three electrons. If you lose electrons, it makes it positive.
Loss of electrons is called?
oxidation..........
How do some atoms gain or lose electrons to form ions?
Oxidation: losing electrons Reduction: gaining electrons OIL RIG (oxidation is losing-reduction is gaining) ^ helpful memory tool.
