What atoms tend to gain two electrons to form a 2- anion?
se and sometimes gain electrons. Atoms with eight valence electrons do not easily lose electrons
How many electrons does clay have?
Clay consists of many different elements, and it is therefore impossible to tell how many electrons it has.
Why do the outer electrons control what the atom does?
Outter electrons are involved in chemical reactions since they are the most vunerable. The elements towards the left of the periodic table tend to lose electrons to form Cations, while elements towards the right tend to form Anions.
Why do all elements in the alkaline earth metals have similar properties?
2 valence electrons (apex)
What happens during an oxidation reduction reaction?
As I learnt it OIL RIG Oxidisation Is Loss (electrons are lost from the matter in question) Reduction Is Gain (the exact opposite electrons are gained from the matter in question)
What property of nonmetallic elements makes them more likely to gain electrons than lose them?
High Electonegativity of non metals makes them more likely to gain electrons.
What property of nonmetallic elements makes them more likely to gain electrons than to lose electrons?
They have relatively full valence shells.
Does group 2A elements lose or gain protons or electrons?
Group 2A elements tend to GAIN electrons!!
What elements gain electrons when they bond?
Nonmetals gain electrons in chemical reactions.
Which type of element seeks to gain electrons?
Non-metals gain electrons.
Which elements are most likely to gain electrons?
metals have a tendency to lose electrons while nonmetals have a tendency to gain electrons. Metals are located left of the stair-step line and non-metals are located to its right.
When metals react with other elements do the atoms of the metals gain or lose?
Metals are likely to make anions. So they lose electrons to get a positive charge. The other elements gain electrons and get negatively charged.
What type of elements gain and loose electrons as they form bonds?
Metals lose electrons, nonmetals gain electrons.
When elements gain three electrons to fill its valence energy level?
When these elements have five electrons on the outermost shell of electrons.
What is most likely to gain two electrons when forming an ionic bond?
An element in group 16/VIA, such as oxygen, is most likely to gain two electrons when forming an ionic bond. This is due to the fact that the atoms of the elements in group 16/VIA have six valence electrons and require two more to get a filled valence shell of 8 electrons (octet rule).
Is metallic elements more likely to lose electron than nonmetallic elements?
Yes. Metals always lose electrons and non-metals gain electrons.
Do elements in the non-metal family gain or lose electrons?
Actually, non metals always gain electrons
