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?
they will become another element if they loose or gain 8 electrons
Which metallic elements within a given group (vertical column) of the periodic table lose electrons more easily Why?
These are the alkali metals: Li, K, Na, Rb, Cs, Fr. Due to a specific electron structure they have a low ionization energy and electronegativity value.
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.
Is gaining an electron when bonding a metal or nonmetal?
In a ionic bond, which is a bond between metals and nonmetals, the metal will loose the electron(s) while the nonmetal will gain the electron(s).
Which element in group 17 is least likely to loose an electron?
(F) Flourine
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.
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.
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).
Why are group 8A elements not represented by ionic radius?
they will become another element if they loose or gain 8 electrons
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.
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 do alkali metal atoms do when they become ions?
When alkali metals become ions they loose a single electron from their outer shell and become electrostatically attracted to the ion they lost it too as the other ion should have an opposite charge, though not always equal. Like if you bonded sodium with a group 5 element you would need 3 alkali ions and a single group 5 ion. Brilliant. Also worth mentioning, because alkali metals (group one) only have to loose one electron to gain a full outershell, they do so readily, making them very reactive.
What kind of atom tends to loose one electron?
The Alkali Metals loose one electron in order to achieve a nobel gas configuration.
Which metallic elements within a given group (vertical column) of the periodic table lose electrons more easily Why?
These are the alkali metals: Li, K, Na, Rb, Cs, Fr. Due to a specific electron structure they have a low ionization energy and electronegativity value.
How many electron does potassium have to gain or loose in order to achieve a noble gas electron configuration?
It must lose 1 electron
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.
