Would an atoms with 3 electrons in level m tend to gain or loose electrons?
An atom with 3 electrons in level M would tend to either gain 5 electrons to complete level M or lose 3 electrons to complete the previous level. The tendency would depend on the element and its electronegativity.
Do atoms join by a covalent bond do not gain or lose electrons?
Atoms that join by a covalent bond share electrons but do not gain or lose them. In a covalent bond, the electrons are shared between the atoms, creating a stable electron configuration for both atoms involved.
Which of the following statements are true about whether atoms tend to gain or lose electrons?
Atoms with eight valence electrons usually do not gain or lose electrons. Atoms with one, two, or three valence electrons will lose electrons.
When atoms gain or lose electrons we call the resulting atom an ion. What are the two different types of ions and how are they formed?
The two types of ions are cations and anions. Cations are formed when atoms lose electrons, resulting in a positively charged ion, while anions are formed when atoms gain electrons, resulting in a negatively charged ion.
Hat are charged particles the form when atoms gain or lose electrons?
Charged particles that form when atoms gain or lose electrons are called ions. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). When an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
When metals react with other elements the atoms of the metals loose or gain electrons?
They will loose electrons.
Do non-metal atoms need to gain electrons or loose them?
They need to gain them.
When molecules are formed atoms share or loose electrons?
To form a molecule, atoms can share, lose, and gain electrons
What is a chemical bond where atoms either gain or loose electrons?
ionic bonding :]
Why do atoms gain loose or share electrons?
Atom loose or gain electron to make its octet complete. It is done to achieve inert state.
Do in ionic bonding atoms loose or gain electrons?
Actually both. Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions whereas when atoms lose electrons positively charged cations are formed. Ionic bond is the force of attraction between cations and anions
Do isolated atoms form ions spontaneously?
No, the atom would have to be in an environment where it could gain or loose electrons.
What is the rule?
atoms either loose or gain a maximum of 2 valence electrons like hydrogen
The type of ion that forms when atoms gain electrons?
Atoms that gain electrons are called anions, and atoms that loose electrons are called cations
When atoms lose or gain electrons they from?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
When metals react with other elements do the atoms of the metals gain or lose?
Metals are likely to make anions. So they lose electrons to get a positive charge. The other elements gain electrons and get negatively charged.
What happens when atoms gain loose or share electrons?
When atoms gain, lose, or share electrons, they form chemical bonds, leading to the creation of ions or molecules. Gaining or losing electrons results in the formation of ions: atoms that are positively charged (cations) when they lose electrons, or negatively charged (anions) when they gain electrons. Sharing electrons typically occurs in covalent bonds, where two or more atoms form a stable molecule by overlapping their electron clouds. These interactions are fundamental to the formation of compounds and the chemical behavior of substances.
