How many electrons will aluminum gain or lose when it forms an ion?
Aluminum will lose 3 electrons to form Al3+ ion.
What cannot change in an atom is it protons neutrons or electrons?
An atoms protons cannot change.The number of neutrons can change (gain or lose) to form an isotope (ex. Hydrogen naturally has no neutrons. But it can gain neutrons to form Heavy Hydrogen, or in other words, a Hydrogen Isotope).An atom can gain or lose electrons to form an ion. Usually an atom will gain or lose electrons to fill its valence (outermost) shell. It takes just as much energy to gain an electron as it is to lose one, so an atom will always look to lose or gain the least amount of electrons possible. (ex. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons. It will look to gain 2 electrons, rather than lose 6).Protons: DO NOT CHANGENeutrons: Can change to form an isotopeElectrons: Can change to form an ion
Does oxidation gain or lose oxygen or hydrogen?
Oxidation typically involves the loss of electrons or the gain of oxygen atoms. Oxidation does not necessarily involve the gain or loss of hydrogen atoms; however, in some cases, oxidation reactions can involve the loss of hydrogen atoms.
Metals tend to lose electrons to gain positive ions?
Metals tend to lose electrons because of their low ionization energy, allowing them to easily form positive ions. This process forms cations, which are attracted to surrounding negative ions or electrons in compounds. This ability of metals to lose electrons contributes to their metallic bonding and characteristic properties such as conductivity and malleability.
How many electrons will germanium lose or gain in forming ions?
It can easily gain or lose up to 4 electrons, but at high energies it can lose many more (all the way to 32 leaving just a bare nucleus).
What forms when atoms gain electrons Lose electrons?
An ionic bond.
How Many electrons will iron gain or lose when it forms a ferric ion?
it will lose 3 electrons
How many electrons will aluminum gain or lose when it forms an ion?
Aluminum will lose 3 electrons to form Al3+ ion.
Does oxygen gain or lose electrons What kind of charge will it have?
when it forms an ion it would gain two electrons, becoming negatively charged (2-)
What forms when atoms gain or lose electrons and become positively and negatively charged?
ions
How many electrons does iodine lose or gains when it forms a ion?
Iodine tends to gain one electron when it forms an ion.
Does hydrogen gain or lose electrons?
Since hydrogen has one electron, it can either gain it or lose it to form cation or anion to achieve stable electronic configuration.COPIED DIRECTLY FROMWhy_does_hydrogen_lose_electronsBY ID2057450460
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

When compounds gain electrons they lose or gain energy?
Lose
Will silicon lose or gain electrons?
Silicon will tend to gain electrons in order to achieve a stable outer electron configuration, as it has 4 valence electrons and typically forms covalent bonds with other elements by sharing electrons.
How many electrons does it take for hydrogen and helium to become stable?
Helium is already stable. Hydrogen should gain or lose one electron to be stable.
