Does cesium gain electrons?

Cesium tends to lose electrons rather than gain them. As an alkali metal, cesium typically forms a +1 cation by losing its single valence electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.

When atoms lose or gain electrons they from?

When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.

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?

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.


How many electrons does a single cesium atom lose?

All right Cesium is an Alkali Metal so it belongs to the first column of the periodic table. Every element in that column has a charge of 1+ as a cation. So to answer your question, a single Cesium atom loses 1 electron when it becomes a cation. The cation looks like this: Cs = 55 Electrons Cs^+ = 54 Electrons As you can see it only loses one :)
