What happens to sulfur atom when it becomes a sulphide ion?
It gains or loses electrons.
How are sulfides formed?
Sulfide ion is formed when the sulfur atom gains two electrons from an external atom.
Does a sulfur atom gain or lose an ion and does it lose an electron or proton or neutron?
Sulfur can gain maximum of 2 electrons and lose maximum of 6 electrons.
What does an atom become if it gains or loses electrons?
An atom becomes an ion if it gains or loses electrons.
How many electrons does a sulfur atom lose to form an ion?
they both gain 2 electrons becoming the anions Oxide and Sulfide, O2- and S2-

How many electrons does a sulfur atom gain when it becomes a sulfide ion?
A sulfur atom gains 2 electrons when it becomes a sulfide ion.
How does a sulfur atom become a sulfur ion?
Gains two electrons. S 2-.
How are sulfides formed?
Sulfide ion is formed when the sulfur atom gains two electrons from an external atom.
How many electrons does a sulfur atom gain when it becomes an sulfide ion?
Sulpher gains two electrons as it is in group 6 and to be stable it would obviously need two more electrons.. :)
What happens when an element gains electrons?
If a neutral atom gains one or more electrons, then it will have a negative change. If a positive atom gains electrons, it will have an increase in change, but the charge may be negative, neutral, or positive based on the initial charge and number of electrons gained. The process in which an atom gains electrons is known as reduction.
What is the symbol for the sulfur ion?
The symbol is S2- because to become an ion a sulfur atom gains two electrons and each electron has a 1- charge.
How many electrons does an atom of sodium lose when it forms a bond how many electrons does an atom of sulfur gain when it forms a bond?
Sodium loses one electron to form a Na+ ion. Sulfur gains two electrons to form a sulfide ion, S2-.
What results after an atom gains electrons?
Electrons have a positive charge and protons have a negative charge. An atom's nucleus is 99.95% of its weight. When an object gains more electrons, it gains a negative charge that over comes the positive charge. This only happens when there are more electrons than protons.
