It loses electrons.
Krypton can gain a maximum of 2 electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration, forming the Kryptonide anion. It does not typically lose electrons.
Polonium will neither gain nor lose electron. it will prefer to form covalent compounds by sharing of electrons.
It can do both. It gains electrons in Phosphene, loses electrons in Phosphate.
Choices: a) eject, retain B) lose, gain c) retain,gain d) gain, lose e) lose, retain
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.
Scandium is a cation because it tends to lose electrons to form a positive charge.
Lose
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
Se will gain electrons
Lose electrons is oxidation. To gain electrons is reduction.
Scandium has 3 valence electrons.
Scandium has 3 valence 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.
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.
it loses electrons
Scandium is typically found as a cation with a charge of +3, as it tends to lose three electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
