they both gain 2 electrons becoming the anions Oxide and Sulfide, O2- and S2-
A sulfur atom can gain two electrons to form the sulfide ion, S^2-. In this process, the sulfur atom gains electrons and becomes negatively charged. It does not lose any protons or neutrons in this process.
Yes, sulfur can lose electrons. It typically loses two electrons to form a stable 2- oxidation state, such as in sulfide ions (S^2-). Sulfur can also form higher oxidation states and lose more electrons in certain 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+).
A sulfur atom will gain 2 electrons to achieve a noble gas structure because sulfur is in group 16 of the periodic table and needs to fill its outer shell with a total of 8 electrons to become stable.
lose one or more electrons.
A sulfur atom can gain two electrons to form the sulfide ion, S^2-. In this process, the sulfur atom gains electrons and becomes negatively charged. It does not lose any protons or neutrons in this process.
Sodium loses one electron to form a Na+ ion. Sulfur gains two electrons to form a sulfide ion, S2-.
Yes, sulfur can lose electrons. It typically loses two electrons to form a stable 2- oxidation state, such as in sulfide ions (S^2-). Sulfur can also form higher oxidation states and lose more electrons in certain compounds.

they form cations
A sulfur atom will gain 2 electrons to achieve a noble gas structure because sulfur is in group 16 of the periodic table and needs to fill its outer shell with a total of 8 electrons to become stable.
It needs to lose, or gain, electrons.
Metals lose electrons and form cations to get a full octet.
lose one or more electrons.
A cation forms when an atom loses one or more electrons, resulting in a positively charged ion. This loss of electrons leaves the atom with more protons than electrons, creating an overall positive charge.
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.
The charge will be +2.
