Electrons lose in case of potassium. It looses 1 electron.
Potassium will lose 1 electron to form a 1+ ion.
No, potassium and sulfur do not form an ionic compound because both elements have a tendency to lose electrons (potassium) or gain electrons (sulfur) rather than transfer them to form an ionic bond.
No, calcium and potassium will not form an ionic compound together because they are both metals and tend to lose electrons to form cations, not gain or share electrons like nonmetals do when forming ionic compounds.
Sulfur can both gain and lose electrons when forming ions. It can gain two electrons to form a sulfide ion (S2-) or lose two electrons to form a sulfide ion (S2+).
Potassium (K) needs to lose one electron to become stable, as it belongs to group 1 in the periodic table and has one electron in its outer shell. By losing this electron, potassium achieves a full outer shell and attains a stable electron configuration.
Potassium will lose electrons when reacting with bromine. Potassium is a metal and tends to lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, while bromine is a nonmetal that tends to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Potassium will lose 1 electron to form a 1+ ion.
Potassium is more likely to lose its electron to become a positive ion.
No, potassium and sulfur do not form an ionic compound because both elements have a tendency to lose electrons (potassium) or gain electrons (sulfur) rather than transfer them to form an ionic bond.
Lose
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
Se will gain electrons
Lose electrons is oxidation. To gain electrons is reduction.
Silicon (Si) can gain or lose 4 electrons. It can either gain 4 electrons to have a stable octet configuration or lose 4 electrons to achieve a stable configuration.
If you mean Metals... No, they do not gain electrons, they actually lose electrons because it is a lot easy for them to lose them so they can gain stability much faster.
No, calcium and potassium will not form an ionic compound together because they are both metals and tend to lose electrons to form cations, not gain or share electrons like nonmetals do when forming ionic compounds.
