tHE OXIDE Anion (O^(2-))
What else can I help you with?
If an oxygen atom gains two electrons to become an oxygen ion what is the electric charge?
The oxygen atom would have a charge of -2 after gaining two electrons to become an oxygen ion.
When an oxygen atom gains two electrons to become an oxygen ion what is the electric charge?
The resulting oxygen ion has a charge of -2.
How many electrons will each element gain in forming an ion Nitrogen oxygen sulfur bromine?
Nitrogen gains 3 electrons, oxygen gains 2 electrons, sulfur gains 2 electrons, and bromine gains 1 electron when forming ions.
How many electrons are there in 0-2?
There are 2 electrons in an oxygen ion with a charge of -2. This is because oxygen normally has 6 electrons, but when it gains 2 extra electrons to become an ion with a charge of -2, it now has 8 electrons total.
Which element gains 2 electrons?
Oxygen gains 2 electrons to achieve a full valence shell with 8 electrons. This gives oxygen a stable electron configuration similar to the noble gas configuration.
If an oxygen atom gains two electrons to become an oxygen ion what is the electric charge?
The oxygen atom would have a charge of -2 after gaining two electrons to become an oxygen ion.
If oxygen gains 2 electrons what charge will it have?
It would have a negative charge. It would be a negative ion with a 2+ charge.Remember: when an atom gains electrons they become NEGATIVE.when an atom loses electrons they become POSITIVE.
Do oxygen gain or lose electrons?
Oxygen is an oxidizer, it will gain electrons in a reaction to complete it's valence shell.
When an oxygen atom gains two electrons to become an oxygen ion what is the electric charge?
The resulting oxygen ion has a charge of -2.
How many electrons will each element gain in forming an ion Nitrogen oxygen sulfur bromine?
Nitrogen gains 3 electrons, oxygen gains 2 electrons, sulfur gains 2 electrons, and bromine gains 1 electron when forming ions.
What is the smallest atom in group 6A and gains 2 electrons to become chemically stable?
The smallest atom in group 6A is oxygen. Oxygen gains 2 electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration by forming an oxide ion with a 2- charge.
How many electrons are there in 0-2?
There are 2 electrons in an oxygen ion with a charge of -2. This is because oxygen normally has 6 electrons, but when it gains 2 extra electrons to become an ion with a charge of -2, it now has 8 electrons total.
Which element gains 2 electrons?
Oxygen gains 2 electrons to achieve a full valence shell with 8 electrons. This gives oxygen a stable electron configuration similar to the noble gas configuration.
What is the electric charge of an oxygen atom that gains 2 electrons in an oxygen ion?
An oxygen atom has 6 protons and 6 electrons, giving it a neutral charge. When it gains 2 electrons to form an oxygen ion, it will have 8 electrons in total. Since it now has 2 more negatively charged electrons than positively charged protons, the oxygen ion will have a charge of -2.
How many electrons are in an oxygen anion O2 and minus?
An oxygen anion with a charge of -2 has 10 electrons. Oxygen normally has 8 electrons, but an anion with a -2 charge gains two additional electrons.
What number of electrons does an atom in the oxygen family usually gains or shares?
2
How many electrons will oxygen atoms lose or gain when forming an ion?
Under the usual chemical conditions oxygen gains 2 electrons to form ions. However when ionized by electrical discharges or other high energy physical processes oxygen can lose any number of electrons to form ions (even all of its electrons).
