Is calcium more likely to gain or lose electrons?
Calcium is most likely to lose two electrons to form its dipositive ion.
If an atom has 3 electrons how many electrons are in the outer shell Will it be more likely to acquire or lose an electron?
If an atom has three electrons, it will have one valence electron (valance = outer shell). It will be more likely to lose an electron than gain one, since it has only one to lose, but seven to gain.
Do Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons?
Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons, but rather share electrons.
How can an atom that has 5 valence electrons achieve a full set of valence electrons?
Either lose 5 electrons, which is least likely, or gain 3 electrons.
Do polonium lose or gain electrons to reach 8?
Polonium lose electrons.
Is calcium more likely to gain or lose electrons?
Calcium is most likely to lose two electrons to form its dipositive ion.
Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
No. Atoms can gain and lose electrons but seldom gain or lose protons.
If an atom has 3 electrons how many electrons are in the outer shell Will it be more likely to acquire or lose an electron?
If an atom has three electrons, it will have one valence electron (valance = outer shell). It will be more likely to lose an electron than gain one, since it has only one to lose, but seven to gain.
Do Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons?
Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons, but rather share electrons.
How many electrons can phosphorous gain or lose?
It needs to gain 3 electrons than to lose 5 electrons. So phosphorus has to gain 3 electrons.
When compounds gain electrons they lose or gain energy?
Lose
How can an atom that has 5 valence electrons achieve a full set of valence electrons?
Either lose 5 electrons, which is least likely, or gain 3 electrons.
What property of nonmetallic elements makes them more likely to gain electrons than lose them?
High Electonegativity of non metals makes them more likely to gain electrons.
Does group thirteen in the periodic table gain share or lose valence electrons when bonding?
Group 13 has an oxidation number of 3+ so it is more likely to lose electrons than gain them, but it is possible that it gains them
When atoms lose or gain electrons they from?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
Will Se lose or gain electrons and how many?
Se will gain electrons
What property of nonmetallic elements makes them more likely to gain electrons than to lose electrons?
They have relatively full valence shells.
