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
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.
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 electrons surrounds the nucleus of technetium?
The neutral atom of technetium has 43 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.
Does copper gain or lose electrons?
it loses 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 will selenium lose or gain in forming an ion?
Selenium may lose 2, 4 or 6 electrons and may gain 2 electrons.
Does astatine lose or gain electrons?
Gain of one electron
