What else can I help you with?
Does beryllium's gains or losses ion?
Beryllium tends to lose two electrons to form a 2+ cation.
In order for an aluminum atom to form the aluminum ion it must?
lose one or more electrons.
An atom does not easily lose or gain electrons if it has?
A full outer electron shell. Atoms tend to be more stable when they have a full valence shell, which typically contains eight electrons. This stability makes it less likely for the atom to either lose or gain electrons.
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.
When metals combine with nonmetals the metallic atom tends to?
lose electrons and form cations.
What has to happen in order for an atom to lose two electrons?
The contact with an atom having a high affinity for electrons.
How the charge of an atom changes?
The gain and/or lose of electrons.
Does beryllium's gains or losses ion?
Beryllium tends to lose two electrons to form a 2+ cation.
In order for an aluminum atom to form the aluminum ion it must?
lose one or more electrons.
Does a metallic atom and a nonmetallic atom both gain electron?
No. A metallic atom will typically lose electrons.
An atom does not easily lose or gain electrons if it has?
A full outer electron shell. Atoms tend to be more stable when they have a full valence shell, which typically contains eight electrons. This stability makes it less likely for the atom to either lose or gain electrons.
What is the name of electrons in the outer most shell that an atom can gain lose or share with another atom?
Electrons in the outer most shell are called Valence Electrons.
What is the name of electrons in the outermost shell that an atom can gain lose or share with another atom?
A Fluorine atom has an atomic number of 9. Draw out the electron shell diagram for Fluorine. Is a Fluorine atom more likely to gain, lose or share electrons to fill its valence shell?
Is an atom stable if it has two electrons in the third shell?
No - it would want to lose these two electrons
Would atom with an atomic number of 3 lose or gain electrons?
Lithium loses electrons.
Atoms like sodium and lithium often lose electrons, which makes them?
The kind of atom that likes to be oxidized.
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.
