Do acids lose or gain hydrogen ions?
Acids lose hydrogen ions when they donate them in a chemical reaction, making them stronger acids.
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.
Does Polonium gain or lose electrons?
Polonium will neither gain nor lose electron. it will prefer to form covalent compounds by sharing of 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
How many electrons will hydrogen gain or lose when it forms an ion?
Hydrogen usually loses its single electron to become a hydrogen ion, H+.
When hydrogen loses atoms what is formed?
Hydrogen itself is an atom. If that hydrogen atom were to lose/gain/share electrons it would become an isotope/ ion
What cannot change in an atom is it protons neutrons or electrons?
An atoms protons cannot change.The number of neutrons can change (gain or lose) to form an isotope (ex. Hydrogen naturally has no neutrons. But it can gain neutrons to form Heavy Hydrogen, or in other words, a Hydrogen Isotope).An atom can gain or lose electrons to form an ion. Usually an atom will gain or lose electrons to fill its valence (outermost) shell. It takes just as much energy to gain an electron as it is to lose one, so an atom will always look to lose or gain the least amount of electrons possible. (ex. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons. It will look to gain 2 electrons, rather than lose 6).Protons: DO NOT CHANGENeutrons: Can change to form an isotopeElectrons: Can change to form an ion
When compounds gain electrons they lose or gain energy?
Lose
How many electrons does it take for hydrogen and helium to become stable?
Helium is already stable. Hydrogen should gain or lose one electron to be stable.
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.
Does sulfur gain electrons when combining with other elements?
It can both gain and lose electrons depending on the different elements. With hydrogen, it gains electrons to produce hydrogen sulphide and it will lose electrons with oxygen to produce sulphur oxides. Generally it will tend to gain electrons as it is in group 16 of the elements and so is quite negatively electrovalent but against a more negatively electrovalent elements it can be forced to lose electrons unwillingly as in the case of oxygen. Even though oxygen is also in group 16, sulphur is an order below oxygen and therefore less negatively electrovalent that oxygen.
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 oxidation gain or lose oxygen or hydrogen?
Oxidation typically involves the loss of electrons or the gain of oxygen atoms. Oxidation does not necessarily involve the gain or loss of hydrogen atoms; however, in some cases, oxidation reactions can involve the loss of hydrogen atoms.
