A substance that can donate a lone pair of electrons is called a Lewis base. The definition of a Lewis base is a compound or ionic species that can donate an electron pair to an acceptor compound.

How do you form a ionic bond between k and cl?
Potassium donates its electron in the outermost shell to the chlorine atom in order to form the ionic bond.
Scientists described a base as a compound that donates an electron pair?
The Lewis Theory describes a base as a compound that donates an electron pair. By donating the electron pair there is a covalent bond.
The particle that orbits the nucleus in an atom is the?
The sub-atomic particle that orbits the nucleus in an atom is called an electron.
An atom that gains an electron?
An atom that has gained an electron has a negative charge and is called an anion.
If an electron is added to a neutral atom the atom becomes what?
it will become a negative ion due to the negative charge of electron
If an atom donates or accepts an electron what is it considered?
If an atom donates or accepts an electron it is considered an ion.
When a compound donates electrons the compound becomes what?
if a neutral atom donates an electron it will gain a positive charge. This is due to electrons having a negative charge.
When sodium forms an ionic bond with chlorine the sodium atom donates an electron to chlorine and becomes a 19 charged ion?
No! A sodium atom is initially electrically neutral. When it donates one electron to a chlorine atom, the sodium atom becomes a singly charged cation.
How do the ways in which the mass and the charge of an atom are distributed differ?
IF it donates an electron -then atom gains positive charge and if it accepts an electron then it acquires negative charge. the mass of an atom is dependent on protons and neutrons in the nucleus and electrons decide the charge of an atom
What is the charge on the chlorine atom in the molecule hcl?
Chlorine gains an electron and becomes negative 1 charge. Hydrogen donates an electron so becomes positive 1 charge.
What are differences between atom and ion?
An atom has no charge. An ion is an atom that has either gained or lost an electron giving it a charge. An atom that has gained an electron is called an anion and is negative, while an atom that lost an electron is called a cation and is positive.
What difference between atom and ion?
An atom has no charge. An ion is an atom that has either gained or lost an electron giving it a charge. An atom that has gained an electron is called an anion and is negative, while an atom that lost an electron is called a cation and is positive.
Which is donate electron for LI and CL?
Li atom donates one electron to a Cl atom when Li+Cl- is to be formed as ionic compound (salt):Li --> e- + Li+Cl + e- --> Cl--------------- +Li + Cl --> LiCl (or Li+Cl-)
How do you form a ionic bond between k and cl?
Potassium donates its electron in the outermost shell to the chlorine atom in order to form the ionic bond.
Atoms can achieve a full octet of electrons by doing what?
By bonding with another atom, either ionically (donates/receives electrons) or covalently (electron sharing).
Scientists described a base as a compound that donates an electron pair?
The Lewis Theory describes a base as a compound that donates an electron pair. By donating the electron pair there is a covalent bond.
The particle that orbits the nucleus in an atom is the?
The sub-atomic particle that orbits the nucleus in an atom is called an electron.
