What charge do alkali metals form when they react with a halogen?
here r the possisble answers: both atoms lose 1 electron a covalent bond forms metal gains an electron and the nonmetal loses an electron metal loses an electron and non metal gains an electron
When a metal loses electrond it becomes?
Metal atoms become ions when they lose electrons.
How many electrons does a single cesium atom lose?
All right Cesium is an Alkali Metal so it belongs to the first column of the periodic table. Every element in that column has a charge of 1+ as a cation. So to answer your question, a single Cesium atom loses 1 electron when it becomes a cation. The cation looks like this: Cs = 55 Electrons Cs^+ = 54 Electrons As you can see it only loses one :)
How many electrons is the alkali metal losing when it becomes an ion?
Alkali metals lose one electron when it becomes an ion.
Does Ag silver gain lose or share electrons?
Silver is a metal therefore it loses an electron when it reacts to form Ag+
What type of element loses electrons in ionic bonding and what type of charge will it create?
An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non metal. The METAL loses an electron (or electrons) and it becomes positively charged.
Does rubidium gain or lose?
When rubidium, an alkali metal, group 1, reacts it loses one electron.
Which element has only 1 electron and behaves like a alkali metal?
The element Hydrogen (H) has only 1 electron. When it loses it, it becomes the Ion H+.
What happens to electron in ionic bonds?
In ionic bonding, the metal loses the electron forming the cation and the non metal gains that electron forming the anion
What is the ionic formula for Rubidium and chlorine?
Rubidium is a group 1 metal with just one valence electron. It therefore forms the ion Rb+ as it loses the electron. The ionic formula is Rb+ Cl-
What charge do alkali metals form when they react with a halogen?

When a metal loses electrond it becomes?
Metal atoms become ions when they lose electrons.
Does iodine gain or loss electron?
Barium loses electrons to obtain a stable octet, like any other metal.
Does sulfate ion have negative charge because it has gained 2 electrons?
When it gain electrons, it loses ions. (non-metal) Where as when it loses electron, it gains ions. (metal)
Why does the metal's radius get smaller and the nonmetal's radius get larger during an ionic bond?
Because the metal loses an electron (making it smaller) and the non metal gains that electron, making it larger.
What happens to metal in an ionic compound?
It becomes a cation - loses electrons
How many electrons does a single cesium atom lose?
