What else can I help you with?
When metals combine with nonmetals the metallic atom tends to?
lose electrons and form cations.
Would a chlorine atom lose electrons or gain electrons to become an atom?
A chlorine atom would gain one electron to become an ion because it tends to achieve a stable electron configuration by having a full outer shell of electrons.
In order to become a chemically stable ion a neutral atom of calcium will?
It would have to lose two electrons.
How many electrons would an atom of magnesium have to lose to have a stable octe?
It'll have to lose two to have a stable octet.
How many electrons does silver have in each atom?
Silver has one valence electron.
How many electrons does a magnesium atom need to lose to become stable?

When metals combine with nonmetals the metallic atom tends to?
lose electrons and form cations.
How many electrons has an atom of iron lost to become an Fe3 plus ion?
it should lose 3 electrons
How is a positive charge formed?
When an atom lose electrons become a cation (positively charged).
Would a chlorine atom lose electrons or gain electrons to become an atom?
A chlorine atom would gain one electron to become an ion because it tends to achieve a stable electron configuration by having a full outer shell of electrons.
In order to become a chemically stable ion a neutral atom of calcium will?
It would have to lose two electrons.
Why do Non-metal atoms gain electrons to become an ion?
bcc it's the same
Determine the typical charge for an atom?
An atom is always neutrally charged, with equal numbers of protons and electrons. As soon as elements lose or gain electrons, they become ions.
What does a sulfur atom need to do to become an ion?
It needs to lose, or gain, electrons.
How many electrons would an atom of magnesium have to lose to have a stable octe?
It'll have to lose two to have a stable octet.
How many electrons does silver have in each atom?
Silver has one valence electron.
When hydrogen loses atoms what is formed?
Hydrogen itself is an atom. If that hydrogen atom were to lose/gain/share electrons it would become an isotope/ ion
