This atom become a cation.
A substance that can donate a lone pair of electrons is called a Lewis base. The definition of a Lewis base is a compound or ionic species that can donate an electron pair to an acceptor compound.
Yes, cesium tends to donate one electron to chlorine in order to achieve a more stable electron configuration. This leads to the formation of Cs+ and Cl- ions through ionic bonding.
When a sodium atom forms an ionic bond with another atom, the outermost electron in the sodium atom is transferred to the other atom. This electron transfer results in the formation of a positively charged sodium ion (Na+) and a negatively charged ion of the other atom.
The Lewis Dot Diagram of KBr would show potassium (K) with one valence electron and bromine (Br) with seven valence electrons. The potassium atom would donate its electron to the bromine atom to form an ionic bond, resulting in a stable octet for each atom.
This is by gaining (-) or losing (+) electrons

It is called an electron shell.
The region of an atom in which the electrons move is called the electron shell, or electron cloud.
The outermost shell in an atom is also known as the valence shell. When an atom is able to donate or obtain electrons to obtain a noble gas electron configuration, it is said to be stable. Generally, metals are electron donors and non metals are electron acceptors.
This is a cation (positive ion).
This is a cation (positive ion).
A potassium atom has 1 electron in its outer shell. In order to satisfy the octet rule, it needs to donate 7 electrons to another atom to reach a stable configuration with a full outer shell.
Sodium often tends to donate its valence electron to a non metal atom to form an ionic compound.
When a sodium atom forms an ionic bond with another atom, the outermost electron in the sodium atom is transferred to the other atom. This electron transfer results in the formation of a positively charged sodium ion (Na+) and a negatively charged ion of the other atom.
No, acids cannot donate an electron pair. Acids are substances that tend to donate a proton (H+) in a chemical reaction, while bases are substances that can donate an electron pair.
Potassium has only one electron in its outer shell. To satisfy the octet rule it can either receive 7 electrons or donate 1; the minor is high in energy and thus is not observed in nature. K then donates one electron to become potassium ion (K+) with the electron configuration of argon (Ar).
