When potassium forms a compound with iodine one electron is transferred from the atom to the atom?
Potassium lose an electron (iodine gain this electron) to form potassium iodide, KI.
What will an atom of iodine most likely do to be stable?
Steal an electron from an atom of a different element.
How many outer shell electrons does iodine have?
The outer most electron shell of iodine atom contains 7 electrons.
How many electrons does an iodine atom gain to form a I-anion?
Iodine only needs to gain one electron to become an anion.
When iodine becomes an ion is the ion larger or smaller?
Iodine gains one electron to form iodide ion. The size of iodide ion is larger than the size of iodine atom.
When potassium forms a compound with iodine one electron is transferred from the atom to the atom?
Potassium lose an electron (iodine gain this electron) to form potassium iodide, KI.
What will an atom of iodine most likely do to be stable?
Steal an electron from an atom of a different element.
What 2 elements are present in lead iodide?
Iodine with one extra electron in its atom
How many outer shell electrons does iodine have?
The outer most electron shell of iodine atom contains 7 electrons.
How many electrons are shown in the electron-dot structure of iodine?
Iodine in its natural form is I2, two iodine atoms bonded with a single covalent bond. There are 6 non-bonded valance electrons on each atom, so there are 12 electrons in the electron-dot structure.
How many electrons does an iodine atom gain to form a I-anion?
Iodine only needs to gain one electron to become an anion.
When iodine becomes an ion is the ion larger or smaller?
Iodine gains one electron to form iodide ion. The size of iodide ion is larger than the size of iodine atom.
What will be the nature of charge on an atom when it looses an electron or gain an electron?
Aluminum, sulfur, fluorine, phosphorus, iodine, and neon
In iodometric titration how is iodine liberated either by oxidation or reduction?
Ioding when combined in a compound is usually combined as the iodide. Iodide ions are negatively charged (ie each ion has an extra electron compared with an iodine atom). When elemental iodine is liberated, iodine atoms are formed from these ions which in turn pair up to form iodine molecules. When an Iodine ion changes into an atom it must lose the extra electron. From the acronym 'OILRIG' (Oxidation Is Loss of electrons, Reduction Is Gain of electrons) it is clear that as the elemental iodine has formed because of the loss of an electron the process must involve oxidation.
What iodine makes?
Iodine is reactive because it has 7 valence electrons and is unstable. It needs one more electron to get 8, which would give it a noble gas configuration, and which would make the iodine atom stable. Iodine reacts with other elements in order to gain the needed electron and therefore become stable.
Why is iodine larger than bromine?
Iodine's electron configuration is 2, 8, 18, 18, 7; bromine's is 2, 8, 18, 7. At the simplest level of modelling there is one more electron shell occupying space in an iodine atom than in one of bromine.
If an atom of iodine gains an electron what is the charge of the resulting ion?
