Is a bond between copper and fluorine a ionic bond?

Yes, a bond between copper and fluorine is typically considered to be an ionic bond. Copper is a metal and tends to lose electrons, while fluorine is a nonmetal and tends to gain electrons. In this case, copper would lose electrons to fluorine, resulting in the formation of an ionic bond.


When compounds gain electrons they lose or gain energy?

Lose


Why is zinc negative amd copper positive?

Zinc is more electronegative than copper. As a result, zinc acts as the anion(anode), while copper loses electrons and becomes positive (cathode). Electrons flow from the zinc to the copper ( - to +)


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?

The lose of electrons from a molucule is called?

Lose electrons is oxidation. To gain electrons is reduction.


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.


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.


What is copper chloride split into by electrolysis?

When copper chloride is split by electrolysis, it may form copper metal at the cathode and chlorine gas at the anode. The copper ions gain electrons and get deposited on the cathode, while chloride ions lose electrons, releasing chlorine gas at the anode.


Does copper eventually lose all of its electrons?

No, copper does not eventually lose all of its electrons. Copper typically forms stable compounds by either losing or gaining electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell.


What do ions gain or lose?

Electrons


Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?

Atoms typically do not lose protons because that would change the identity of the element. Instead, atoms can lose or gain electrons to form ions with a different charge. Protons are not generally lost by atoms in chemical reactions.
