How many electrons will sodium gain or lose in forming an ion?
Because Sodium is in group 1, it tends to lose one electron when forming an ion, therefore having a charge of +1
How many electrons will each atom either gain or lose in order to satisfy the octet rule of Na?
Each sodium atom will lose one electron to achieve a complete octet in its outer shell, as the octet rule dictates atoms will gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration with 8 electrons in the outer shell.
Does sodium not lose or gain electrons?
Sodium typically loses one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming a +1 ion. This is because sodium has one electron in its outermost shell, and losing it allows sodium to achieve a full outer shell, similar to the noble gas configuration.
How many electrons does sodium gain or lose?
Sodium typically loses one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. This loss of an electron forms a sodium ion with a positive charge.
Does Na gain or lose electrons?
Sodium (Na) tends to lose electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell, which allows it to reach a stable electron configuration. This results in Na forming a +1 cation.
Sodium should gain 7 or lose its outer electrons?
Sodium will lose 1 electron in its compounds.
How many electrons will sodium gain or lose in forming an ion?

When compounds gain electrons they lose or gain energy?
Lose
Does sodium not lose or gain electrons?

How many electrons does sodium gain or lose?
Sodium typically loses one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. This loss of an electron forms a sodium ion with a positive charge.
How many electrons does sodium need to achieve a noble gas configuration?
Sodium has 11 electrons, and one valence electron To achieve noble gas configurations, it would have to gain 7 electrons, for a total of 18 like Argon has. But this gain is impossible. So Sodium loses one electron to look like Neon which has 10.
When atoms lose or gain electrons they from?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
Will Se lose or gain electrons and how many?
Se will gain electrons
The lose of electrons from a molucule is called?
Lose electrons is oxidation. To gain electrons is reduction.
How many electrons does Si gain or lose?
Silicon (Si) can gain or lose 4 electrons. It can either gain 4 electrons to have a stable octet configuration or lose 4 electrons to achieve a stable configuration.
Do metasls gain electrons?
If you mean Metals... No, they do not gain electrons, they actually lose electrons because it is a lot easy for them to lose them so they can gain stability much faster.
