Selenium may lose 2, 4 or 6 electrons and may gain 2 electrons.


How many electrons are gained or lost when selenium forms an ion?

Since Selenium is a Chalcogen (meaning it's in group 6A on the Periodic Table), it gains 2 electrons to form an ion with a charge of -2.


How many electrons selenium would arsenic lose or gain when forming an ion?

Selenium typically gains two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming the Se2- ion. Arsenic typically loses three electrons to achieve a Noble Gas electron configuration and forms the As3+ ion.


How many atoms selenium lose?

Selenium typically loses 2 electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This results in the formation of a 2+ ion for selenium.


Will selenium form a 2- ion?

Yes it will. Selenium has 6 valence electrons. If it accepts two more electrons to form Se2-, the resulting ion will have octet of electrons in the valence shell and will be stable.


What type of bond does selenium and bromine form?

Selenium and bromine can form an ionic bond, where selenium, a nonmetal, gains electrons to become a negative ion, and bromine, a halogen, loses electrons to become a positive ion.

How many electrons selenium?

Selenium has 34 electrons.


What are selenium ions?

Selenium ions refer to selenium atoms that have gained or lost electrons to become positively or negatively charged. They can exhibit different chemical properties compared to neutral selenium atoms, depending on the number of electrons gained or lost.


How many electrons does the element selenium lose when becoming an ion?

Selenium typically forms a negative ion (selenide) by gaining two electrons rather than losing them. However, if it were to lose electrons, it would usually lose six to achieve a stable electron configuration, as it has six valence electrons. In its most common ionic form, selenium gains electrons to complete its outer shell, rather than losing them.
