P has 5 valence electrons so it can gain 3 electrons or lose 5 electrons to have a full valence shell.
Phosphorus wants to gain three electrons to have 8 valence electrons.
Fluorine gains electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. It has seven valence electrons and tends to gain one more electron to complete its outer shell and attain a full octet.
5 valence electrons because it needs to gain 3 electrons in order to become stable
Yes, nonmetals can gain electrons to fill their valence shells. By doing so, they can achieve a stable electron configuration, usually by reaching a full outer shell of electrons (usually 8 electrons, except for hydrogen and helium which only need 2 electrons).
Negative ions form when atoms GAIN valence electrons.
It gains electrons because it has a charge of -3
Phosphorus wants to gain three electrons to have 8 valence electrons.
atoms either loose or gain a maximum of 2 valence electrons like hydrogen
Sulfur has 6 valence electrons. To achieve 8 valence electrons, sulfur must gain 2 electrons to fill its outer shell and satisfy the octet rule.
Phosphorus wants to gain three electrons to have 8 valence electrons.
Fluorine gains electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. It has seven valence electrons and tends to gain one more electron to complete its outer shell and attain a full octet.
They will gain 3 electrons from something with 3 valence electrons.
In a reaction u need two valence electrons to gain or share two valence electrons.
it is in the oxygen family and has 6 valence electrons it requires 2 electrons
all the elemants have valence electrons the last number of the elecotrons is the elemets valence electrons
Bromine's atomic number is 35, so it has 7 valence electrons. To achieve 8 valence electrons and a full outer shell, bromine needs to gain one electron.
Since it has 1 valence electrons it is a metal and also non metal because it may loose 1 electron to stabilize or also gain 1 electron to stabilize. Metals loose electrons and non-metals gain electron and hydrogen have both metallic (to loose) and non-metallic (to gain) properties.
