How many electrons can krypton gain or lose?
Krypton can gain a maximum of 2 electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration, forming the Kryptonide anion. It does not typically lose electrons.
Phosphorus will it gain or lose electrons?
It can do both. It gains electrons in Phosphene, loses electrons in Phosphate.
Atoms of metals do what with electrons to become stable while atoms nonmetals tend to do what to electrons to become stable?
Choices: a) eject, retain B) lose, gain c) retain,gain d) gain, lose e) lose, retain
Does chlorine want to gain or lose electrons?
As fluorine is a halogen (the group in which the elements are more reactive as they are one electron lesser than that of the octet configuration)and hence it can only gain electrons.
How many electrons will phosphorus gain or lose in forming an ion?
Phosphorus will gain 3 electrons to form an ion with a 3- charge (P3-). This is because phosphorus has 5 valence electrons and needs to achieve a stable electron configuration like a noble gas. By gaining 3 electrons, phosphorus can achieve the electron configuration of argon.
How many electrons does polonium have to gain?
The atom is neutral; the cations of Po are of course positive. Polonium lose electrons.
Do polonium lose or gain electrons to reach 8?
Polonium, with an atomic number of 84, loses electrons to reach a stable octet configuration. It loses electrons and undergoes alpha decay to achieve a more stable state.
How many electrons does polonium have to lose or share?
Polonium can lose two or four electrons.
When compounds gain electrons they lose or gain energy?
Lose
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.
Does copper gain or lose electrons?
it loses electrons
How many electrons in polonium?
Polonium, element number 84 on the periodic table, has 84 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.
