What type of bond forms between barium and tin?

Barium and tin can form an ionic bond where barium, a metal, transfers electrons to tin, a metalloid. This creates a bond where barium becomes positively charged as it loses electrons and tin becomes negatively charged as it gains electrons.


How many electron does barium have to give up to achieve a noble gas electron configuration?

Two electrons


What forms when atom gains or loses electrons?

An ionic bond.


What is the most likely charges of ions formed from barium and nitrogen?

Barium is a group 2 metal that typically forms a +2 ion, while nitrogen is a group 15 nonmetal that typically gains three electrons to form a -3 ion. Therefore, the most likely charges for ions formed from barium and nitrogen would be Ba2+ and N3- respectively.


An atom that gains electrons and therefore forms a negative ion is known as a?

If an atom gains an electron it has a net negative charge and is known as an anion. A ion has a single atom which is atomic or monatomic.


What type of bond is barium oxide?

Barium oxide typically forms an ionic bond due to the strong electrostatic attraction between the positively charged barium ions and the negatively charged oxide ions. This is because barium typically loses two electrons to form Ba2+ ions, while oxygen typically gains two electrons to form O2- ions.


What must happen in order for an ion to form?

An ion forms when an atom gains or loses electrons to have a stable electron configuration. When an atom gains electrons, it forms a negatively charged ion (anion), and when it loses electrons, it forms a positively charged ion (cation).


When an atom gains an electron or more it directly becomes negative ion?

True. An atom that gains one or more electrons forms a negative ion.


Does oxygen and barium form an ionic compound?

Barium can form two distinct compounds with oxygen as the only other element in the compound: barium oxide with formula BaO and barium peroxide with formula BaO2. The first of these compounds is more common and more stable.


What atoms can form an ion?

an atom which readily losses or gains electrons to attain stability forms an ion.


What kind of bound forms when an atom gains or losses electrons?

When an atom gains or loses electrons and therefore becomes an ion, it takes on either a positive or negative charge (positive if it lost electrons, negative if it gained electrons) and can bond to ions of the opposite charge in an ionic bond.


How many electrons must a barium atom lose to form an ion with noble-gas configuration?

Two electrons are donated by Barium to an oxidant (nonmetal, eg. O2) by which barium gets oxidised.Ba --> Ba2+ + 2e-This is because Ba is in group 2 of the periodic system, belonging to the 'earth alkali' metals and so it has 2 electrons (2e-) in its valency (or outer) shell (2,8,18,18,8,2). Hence Ba2+ configuration is (2,8,18,18,8,-), with an empty (-) 6th shell (the 'P' shell) like Xenon.
