Will Arsenic lose or gain electrons?
Arsenic can lose and gain electrons.
Do Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons?
Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons, but rather share electrons.
What does oxygen need to do in order to to achieve a stable electron configuration?
Oxygen atoms need to share or gain two electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration.
How many valence electrons does oxygen gain?
Oxygen tends to gain two electrons to complete its "octet", making it O2- with the electron configuration 1s22s22p6
Do atoms join by a covalent bond do not gain or lose electrons?
they share electrons
How many electrons that an atom in the oxygen family gain or share?
Atoms in the oxygen family can gain or share two electrons in order to achieve an octet of electrons.
What must oxygen do to electrons to attain noble gas status?
it must gain (or share) two electrons
What will oxygen do with its electrons to gain stability?
Oxygen will bond (share electrons) with other atoms to produce stable compounds ex. H2O ,O2
Family of elements that gain of share three electrons when they react?
nitrogen
Do oxygen gain or lose electrons?
Oxygen is an oxidizer, it will gain electrons in a reaction to complete it's valence shell.
Does an oxygen molecule gain or lose electrons?
Oxygen molecules tend to prefer covalent bonding when forming compounds. This means that they will share electrons more readily. However, when forming an ionic compound, they will usually gain electrons rather than losing them.
What is the nonmetal family of the periodic table that wants to gain lose or share four electrons?
carbon
How many valence electrons must sulfur gain to have a full valence?
it is in the oxygen family and has 6 valence electrons it requires 2 electrons
Will Arsenic lose or gain electrons?
Arsenic can lose and gain electrons.
Do Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons?
