Is uranium more likely to lose or gain electrons?
Uranium loose electrons becoming a cation.
Does fluorine gain or loose electrons?
Fluorine tends to gain electrons
Why carbon atoms cannot form ionic bonds in its compounds?
carbon atoms cannot form ionic bonds because it can neither gain or loose electrons as it has 4 electrons in its valence shell.so it share its electrons which forms covalent bond.
Hat are charged particles the form when atoms gain or lose electrons?
What are charged particles that form when atoms gain or lose electrons
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 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.
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
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.
Is uranium more likely to lose or gain electrons?
Uranium loose electrons becoming a cation.
What is the rule?
atoms either loose or gain a maximum of 2 valence electrons like hydrogen
Does fluorine gain or loose electrons?
Fluorine tends to gain electrons
When atoms lose or gain electrons they from?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
