Polonium will neither gain nor lose electron. it will prefer to form covalent compounds by sharing of electrons.
In phosphene it gain 4 electrons. Phosphate lose 4 electrons
It loses electrons.
it gains electrons.
It can do both. It gains electrons in Phosphene, loses electrons in Phosphate.
It gains
Polonium lose electrons.
The atom is neutral; the cations of Po are of course positive. Polonium lose electrons.
Polonium can lose two or four electrons.
No. Atoms can gain and lose electrons but seldom gain or lose protons.
Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons, but rather share electrons.
It needs to gain 3 electrons than to lose 5 electrons. So phosphorus has to gain 3 electrons.
Lose
Oxygen, Sulfur, Selenium, Tellurium, and Polonium =]
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
Se will gain electrons
In phosphene it gain 4 electrons. Phosphate lose 4 electrons
Lose electrons is oxidation. To gain electrons is reduction.
