What happen when a sodium atom loses an electron in its outer energy shell?
When sodium loses that electron, it becomes the sodium ion, Na+
What happens when a diatomic molecule loses an electron Does the bond weaken?
No, it is not correct to say that the bond energy always decreases when a diatomic molecule loses an electron. F2 and O2 are counterexamples to this point. When a molecule loses an electron, it will come from the highest occupied molecular orbital. In both O2 and F2, this MO is an antibonding MO. Removing an electron from an antibonding MO *increases* the bond energy.
What happens when a sodium atom loses an electron in its outer energy she?
It becomes a positive ion.
What can happen to an electron in an atom when it gains or loses energy?
it gains or acquires a charge either positive or negative so when it gains energy, it aquires a negative charge then when it loses energy, it aquires a positive charge
When atom loses energy what happens to electron?
when an atom loses an energy , it loses a electron, so what exactly happens to an electron. when you are looking at the periodic tabel they are numbered in groups called group family 1-18 .for an example for what happens to an atom when it losses an electron .when a electron has a nuber lower that 4 it wants to reach at 0 electrtons and when a atom has higher than 6 elctrons it wants to reach at 8 elcrtons . when a atom losses a electron it gives it to another atom that has lower than 4 electrons who is trying to reach at 8
A skydiver loses which type of potential energy as she falls?
She loses gravitational potential energy.
What loses energy?
Oxidation occurs when a molecule loses an electron or increases its oxidation state when a molecule is oxidized it loses energy.
What do you call the energy involved when an atom loses an electron?
The amount of energy required to remove an electron form an at is the ionization energy.
What happenes when a sodium atom loses an electron in its outer energy shell?
When sodium loses that electron, it becomes the sodium ion, Na+
What happen when a sodium atom loses an electron in its outer energy shell?
When sodium loses that electron, it becomes the sodium ion, Na+
At each step of the electron transport chain in photosynthesis an electron loses energy.?
True!
What does the atom do when the electron moves from lower to higher energy level?
it loses energy
An electron jumps to a new energy level when?
the atom gains or loses energy
The molecule that functions as the reducing agent in a oxidation-reduction reaction?
The reactant that reduces another atom.
How does a rocket gain potential energy?
There is more than one kind of potential energy. A rocket, when fueled, has chemical potential energy. When it burns its fuel, it loses chemical potential energy but gains gravitational potential energy. If it then falls back to the ground it loses gravitational potential energy but gains in heat and kinetic energy, until it burns up or crashes.
As a pendulum swings energy is continuosly transformed between kinetic energy and?
When the pendulum swings up, it gains potential energy, but loses kinetic energy. Therefore when it swing down, it gains kinetic energy, but loses potential energy.
Is it true that at each step of the electron transport chain in photosynthesis an electron loses energy?
Yes, it is true.
