Cs has a 1 plus charge so it gives up an electron. Calcium and chlorine are ionic bonds that are between a metal and nonmetal.

No. A cation is the element becoming ion that donates an electron to an ionic bond( generally metals ). Covalent bonds are shared electron bonds.


Scientists described a base as a compound that donates an electron pair?

The Lewis Theory describes a base as a compound that donates an electron pair. By donating the electron pair there is a covalent bond.


Why element is the most reactive?

This rare metal has the lowest electronegativity on the periodic table. With an electronegativity number of 0.7 this element donates it's electron very easily to the higher electronegative nonmetals.


What part of an atom defines what type of element it is?

What is weak reducing agent?

A reducing agent also known as reducer or reductant is the element or compound in oxidation reduction reaction. The reaction donates an electron to other species.


In ionic bonding the metal donates its valence electron to the?

The metal gives its electron(s) to a nonmetal.


When a compound donates electrons the compound becomes what?

if a neutral atom donates an electron it will gain a positive charge. This is due to electrons having a negative charge.


Did sodium donates or accept electrons?

Sodium donates one electron from it's valance shell and becomes the cation, Na + Having a 1 + positive charge as it is short the one electron.


What occurs to the reducing agent in a reduction reactions?

An element is REDUCED. By that, it means that an element of a compound or an element in itself has gained electron/s when the reaction occurs. You can find this out when you see a change in their oxidation number.
