Would a chlorine atom lose electrons or gain electrons to become an atom?
Chlorine gain electrons.
How does a atom become a positive ion?
This is by gaining (-) or losing (+) electrons
An atom does not easily lose or gain electrons if it has?
An atom does not easily lose or gain electrons if is has an equal number of protons and electrons. The charges inside the atom cancel each other, making it neutral.

Chlorine gain electrons.
What property of nonmetalic elements makes them more likely to gain electrons than lose electrons?
They have a higher electronegativity than metals. Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom or a functional group to attract electrons to itself.
Is the elecron configuration of an atom related to its tendency to give up or gain electrons during a chemical reaction?
Yes. If there are 1 to 3 valence electrons in an atom, then generally those elements will lose these electrons to attain noble gas configuration. If there are 5 to 7 valence electrons, then generally those elements will gain electrons to attain noble gas configuration.
When will an atom be electronegative?
An electronegative atom gain electrons.
Does a carbon atom lose or gain electrons?
gain
Do nonmetals loses electrons?
No. Nonmetals generally gain electrons during chemical reactions.
Which elements are most likely to gain electrons?
metals have a tendency to lose electrons while nonmetals have a tendency to gain electrons. Metals are located left of the stair-step line and non-metals are located to its right.
Does strontium have the tendency to lose or gain electrons in a chemical reaction?
You wouldn't expect strontium to gain electrons in a chemical change.
Which period has the greatest tendency to gain electrons?
The periods near the top, i presume because they have less shielding from other electrons in their orbitals, therefore there will be a larger nuclear pull so easier to attract electrons. Obviously a element with a full shell or 1 or 2 electrons in it isn't really going to gain electrons and Transition metals are weird. Hope this helps :)
