What type of element loses electrons in ionic bonding and what type of charge will it create?
An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non metal. The METAL loses an electron (or electrons) and it becomes positively charged.
An element that tends to give up electrons has what oxidation number?
An element that tends to give up electrons has a positive oxidation number. This is because when an element loses electrons, it becomes positively charged.
Do aluminum and fluorine make a covalent or ionic bond?
Aluminum and fluorine form an ionic bond because aluminum loses electrons to become a positively charged ion, while fluorine gains electrons to become a negatively charged ion. This transfer of electrons results in the electrostatic attraction between the two ions.
What happens to he lithium atom when it reacts with fluorine atom?
When a lithium atom reacts with a fluorine atom, the lithium atom loses an electron to form a lithium cation and the fluorine atom gains that electron to form a fluoride anion. This results in the formation of lithium fluoride (LiF), an ionic compound.
Which element is most easily reduced?
Potassium is the element that is most easily reduced because it has a low ionization energy and readily loses an electron to form a +1 cation.
How many electrons does lithium gain?
Lithium loses one electron when it reacts
What element loses 2 atoms when reacting and reacts slowly with water and can conduct electricity?
Magnesium is the element that loses 2 atoms when reacting, reacts slowly with water, and can conduct electricity.
What is formed when an atom that loses electrons relatively easily reacts with an atom that has a high affinity for electrons?
a binary ionic compound
When iron reacts with oxygen does it gain or lose electrons?
Iron reacts with oxygen to form Fe2O3 also known as rust. Oxygen requires two electrons to fill it's valence shell so iron loses electrons.
What type of element loses electrons in ionic bonding and what type of charge will it create?
An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non metal. The METAL loses an electron (or electrons) and it becomes positively charged.
When magnesium loses its valence electrons it has atomic structure of what element?
Argon
An element that tends to give up electrons has what oxidation number?
An element that tends to give up electrons has a positive oxidation number. This is because when an element loses electrons, it becomes positively charged.
Which reactive element will gain or loses an electron?
Generally metals lose electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
If an element loses its valence electrons when it forms a molecule with another element where does the element live on the periodic table?
On the left side.
