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.
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
Phosphorus will it gain or lose electrons?
It can do both. It gains electrons in Phosphene, loses electrons in Phosphate.
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.
Is scandium a cation or an anion?
Scandium is a cation because it tends to lose electrons to form a positive charge.
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 valence electrons are in scandium?
Scandium has 3 valence electrons.
How many valence electrons does scandium have?
Scandium has 3 valence electrons.
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.
Is scandium a cation OR anion?
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.
Does copper gain or lose electrons?
it loses electrons
Is scandium (I) phosphate ionic or covalent?
Scandium(I) phosphate is an ionic compound. Scandium typically forms ionic compounds due to its tendency to lose electrons, while phosphate (PO4^3-) is a polyatomic anion that readily accepts electrons to form stable ionic bonds with metal cations.
