'OXIDATION'
What else can I help you with?
How many electrons will each element gain in forming an ion Nitrogen oxygen sulfur bromine?
Nitrogen gains 3 electrons, oxygen gains 2 electrons, sulfur gains 2 electrons, and bromine gains 1 electron when forming ions.
Oxygen gains 2 electrons to become what?
Oxygen gains 2 electrons to become an oxide ion (O2-).
When an atom gains electrons it becomes positively charged true or false?
False. If an atom gains or loses electrons, the result is called an ion, not a molecule.
Which element gains 2 electrons?
Oxygen gains 2 electrons to achieve a full valence shell with 8 electrons. This gives oxygen a stable electron configuration similar to the noble gas configuration.
What do you call an atom that gains or loses electrons?
An atom that gains or loses electrons is called an ion. If it gains electrons, it results in a negative ion called an anion. If it loses electrons, it results in a positive ion called a cation.
Reactions in which electrons are transferred between atoms?
These reactions are called redox reactions, where one atom or molecule loses electrons (oxidation) and another gains electrons (reduction). The atom or molecule that gains electrons is called the oxidizing agent, while the one that loses electrons is the reducing agent. This electron transfer leads to a change in oxidation states of the atoms involved.
How many electrons will each element gain in forming an ion Nitrogen oxygen sulfur bromine?
Nitrogen gains 3 electrons, oxygen gains 2 electrons, sulfur gains 2 electrons, and bromine gains 1 electron when forming ions.
What gains two electrons when they react?
Oxygen.
Oxygen gains 2 electrons to become what?
Oxygen gains 2 electrons to become an oxide ion (O2-).
In an oxidation reaction a molecule atom or ion losses electrons or gains?
losses electrons
Do oxygen gain or lose electrons?
Oxygen is an oxidizer, it will gain electrons in a reaction to complete it's valence shell.
What is the process of losing or gaining electrons?
An oxygen atom gains 2 electrons when it becomes an ion because it wants a full valence shell (as in, its outer energy level is trying to reach 8 electrons).
When an atom gains electrons it becomes positively charged true or false?
False. If an atom gains or loses electrons, the result is called an ion, not a molecule.
Which element gains 2 electrons?
Oxygen gains 2 electrons to achieve a full valence shell with 8 electrons. This gives oxygen a stable electron configuration similar to the noble gas configuration.
What do you call an atom that gains or loses electrons?
An atom that gains or loses electrons is called an ion. If it gains electrons, it results in a negative ion called an anion. If it loses electrons, it results in a positive ion called a cation.
A chemical reaction in which a molecule gains electrons and energy?
4 down, Reduction.
How many electrons does an oxygen anion have?
An oxygen anion has 10 electrons, because it gains two electrons to achieve a full valence shell of 8 electrons.
