How many electrons does potassium need to gain or loose to become more stable?
Potassium (K), an Alkali Metal in Group 1 with atomic number 19, has a single valence electron in its outermost shell. Therefore it only needs to lose one electron in order for the element to become stable.
Why are group 8A elements not represented by ionic radius?
Group 8A elements, also known as the noble gases, do not form ions because they have a stable electron configuration with a full outer shell of electrons. This means they do not gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable configuration, so the concept of ionic radius is not applicable to them.
Which metallic elements within a given group (vertical column) of the periodic table lose electrons more easily Why?
Alkali metals in Group 1 readily lose electrons because they have a single valence electron that is loosely held due to their large atomic size and low effective nuclear charge. These factors contribute to their high reactivity and ease of losing electrons to form positive ions.
What trend in ionization energy occurs going down on the periodic table and why?
when you go down a group you get more shells and in those shell are electrons the further away the electrons are from the protons and neutrons the less energy you need to pull of the electrons.
In soduim chloride does chlorine gain or loose an electron?
in sodium chloride chlorine gains an electron and the bond formed between then is ionic.
Which element in group 17 is least likely to loose an electron?
Fluorine is the element in group 17 (halogens) that is the least likely to lose an electron because it has the highest electronegativity in the group. Its strong attraction for electrons makes it more stable when gaining electrons rather than losing them.
How are Group one of the periodic table different from any other?
Group-1 are alkali metals. They are highly metallic. Their valence electron is 1. They loose 1 electron to form cations.
Does alkali needs to gain one electron to have a completely outer shell?
I assume you are talking about the Alkali metal group which in fact would readily loose their outer electron to form a 1+ cation (have a full valence electron shell).
How many electrons does potassium need to gain or loose to become more stable?
Potassium (K), an Alkali Metal in Group 1 with atomic number 19, has a single valence electron in its outermost shell. Therefore it only needs to lose one electron in order for the element to become stable.
Which elements in periodic table can loose two electron?
All the elements in group 2 - i.e. Berylium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium and readium
What kind of atom tends to loose one electron?
The Alkali Metals loose one electron in order to achieve a nobel gas configuration.
Why are group 8A elements not represented by ionic radius?
Group 8A elements, also known as the noble gases, do not form ions because they have a stable electron configuration with a full outer shell of electrons. This means they do not gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable configuration, so the concept of ionic radius is not applicable to them.
What was the name of the group that sang On the Loose?
The name of the group that sang on the loose was Saga in 1983.
What determines an element's reactivity?
The electrons determine the reactivity. How many valence electrons there are. It is easier to lose one electron rather than three, so an element with one valence electron will be more reactive than one with three.
What category is hydrogen in?
Hydrogen can gain an electron and act as an anion attaching itself to metals and act as a base. It can loose an electron and attach itself to non-metals and act as an acid
What do alkali metal atoms do when they become ions?
When alkali metal atoms become ions, they typically lose one electron to form a positively charged ion. For example, sodium atoms (Na) can lose one electron to become a sodium ion (Na+). This process helps alkali metals achieve a stable electronic configuration similar to noble gases.
Example of disadvantage of artificial intelligence?
Displacement of humans from their jobs. As of January 2009, the next group of humans to loose their jobs are likely to be call centre people, as better software has been created that can deal with it. The next group of people are likely to be those doing menial jobs. After that, the next group is likely to be salesmen (look up Artificial Intelligence Marketing for details)
