Is uranium more likely to lose or gain electrons?
Uranium loose electrons becoming a cation.
Why carbon atoms cannot form ionic bonds in its compounds?
carbon atoms cannot form ionic bonds because it can neither gain or loose electrons as it has 4 electrons in its valence shell.so it share its electrons which forms covalent bond.
What happens when an atom has more electrons than can fit in one energy level?
Answer this question… The extra electrons begin to fill the next energy level.
What is Ionic size?
During reaction of metals and non-metals, metal atoms tend to loose electrons and non-metal atoms tend to gain electrons. This transfer of electrons has a predictable offect on the size of the ions that form, and that predictable effect on the size is called the ionic size.
What do aklkali metals all have in common?
All alkaline metals are very reactive. this is due to the number of electrons they have in there outer shell. they are situated in the group 1,2 and im not 100% group 6-7. this is because the group determines how many electrons are in the atoms outer shell. so with all atoms trying to get a full outer shell of electrons they will try and loose or gain electrons. so group one and two will quickly try and loose there 1 or 2 outer electrons to get a full outer shell thus making them very reactive and the same with group 6-7 they can not loose there electrons because this would make them positively charged and make it harder for electrons to leave so instead they gain electrons to achieve a full outer shell.
When metals react with other elements the atoms of the metals loose or gain electrons?
They will loose electrons.
When molecules are formed atoms share or loose electrons?
To form a molecule, atoms can share, lose, and gain electrons
Do isolated atoms form ions spontaneously?
No, the atom would have to be in an environment where it could gain or loose electrons.
Cations are formed when neutral atoms lose?
Yes, they loose electrons : e-
When a group 1 metal reacts what happens to the outer shell electrons of its atoms?
they loose electrons from its outershell
Atoms are split to produce .?
other atoms, some loose protons, electrons, and neutrons (which get attached to other atoms and change them) and energy.
What is a chemical bond where atoms either gain or loose electrons?
ionic bonding :]
Do non-metal atoms need to gain electrons or loose them?
They need to gain them.
Is uranium more likely to lose or gain electrons?
Uranium loose electrons becoming a cation.
When atoms become ions their outer most shells of electrons become?
they add or loose electrons from the outer most shells
What are the electrons that have high energy levels and are loose in an atom?
conduction band electrons detach themselves from atoms and become delocalized
Do in ionic bonding atoms loose or gain electrons?
Actually both. Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions whereas when atoms lose electrons positively charged cations are formed. Ionic bond is the force of attraction between cations and anions
