Electrons
What is reduced and what is oxidized in Cl2 plus 2NaBr - 2Br plus 2NaCl?
Oxidation is loss of electrons and reduction is gain of electrons. In this case the Cl2 molecule is changed to two Cl- ions by gaining electrons, so the Cl2 is reduced. The Br in the NaBr salt is in the form of Br- ions. The Br- ions are changed to neutral Br atoms (a Br2 molecule) by losing electrons and so are oxidised.
How are anions and cations formed?
we know that a atom needs 8 electrons in valance shell to or octet configuration ; duplet (2 electrons in outer most shell) , if an atom have atomic number 11 that is sodium and it can be written has 2,8,1 and it losses 1 electron to get duplet confg. as electrons are decreased they become positive ion or cations . anions are formed when number of electrons are increased by gaining electron to get given confg. ex: oxygen , atomic number 8 and written as 2,6 and it gains 2 electrons for octect confg.
Is evaporation heat gain or heat loss?
For what?It requires a heat gain for the water,but a heat loss for whatever the water is in contact with.
What property of the unknown element determines the other elements it reacts with?
Without knowing the specific circumstances of your question, it's not possible to be precise, but in general the electronegativity of an element is a big factor in determining its reactions.
How do positive and negative ions forms?
Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions. Atoms lose electrons to form positively charged cations.
Ions are electrically charged due to a gain or loss of?
Electrons
Atoms that have an electrical charge due to a gain or loss of electrons are called what?
Ions. Cations have lost electrons and have a positive charge. Anions have gained electrons and have a negative charge.
What is the charge of ions and positive ions?
There are two types of charges of ions that are the negative and the positive charges. Ionic bonding is between 2 types of elements;the metals and non-metals. Metals loose electrons while non-metals gain electrons. when they form ions they obtain charges. The metals always gain a positive charge as they loose electrons while the non-metals always gain a negative charge as they gain electrons.
Why does argon not form ions?
Atoms become ions by gaining or losing electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration of electrons, which is stable. Argon already has such a configuration and is very stable as it is. Any gain or loss of electrons would make it less stable.
What 2 way are ions form from atoms?
Ions can be formed from atoms through the gain or loss of electrons. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged and forms an anion, whereas when it loses electrons, it becomes positively charged and forms a cation.
What are the similar between ionic and covalent bonding?
Ionic and covalent bonding involve electrons. Ionic bonding involves the loss and gain of electrons, form ions. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons.
Would gold gain or lose electrons to form an ionic bond?
Gold would lose electrons to form an ionic bond. As a metal, gold has a tendency to donate electrons, resulting in a positively charged ion (cation). This electron loss allows gold to bond with nonmetals, which typically gain electrons to form negatively charged ions (anions). The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bond.
How do you Write equations for loss or gain of electrons by atoms that result in formation of the following ions.?
To write equations for the loss or gain of electrons by atoms to form ions, start by identifying the element and its atomic number to determine the number of electrons it has. For cations (positive ions), write an equation showing the atom losing electrons; for example, sodium (Na) losing one electron to form Na⁺: Na → Na⁺ + e⁻. For anions (negative ions), write an equation showing the atom gaining electrons; for example, chlorine (Cl) gaining one electron to form Cl⁻: Cl + e⁻ → Cl⁻. Ensure the total charge on both sides of the equation remains balanced.
Do mercury form ions by the loss of electrons?
Yes, mercury can form ions by the loss of electrons. It typically does so by losing one or two electrons, resulting in the formation of cations such as Hg⁺ and Hg²⁺. These ions can participate in various chemical reactions, influencing the behavior and properties of mercury in different environments.
Metals tend to lose electrons to gain positive ions?
Metals tend to lose electrons because of their low ionization energy, allowing them to easily form positive ions. This process forms cations, which are attracted to surrounding negative ions or electrons in compounds. This ability of metals to lose electrons contributes to their metallic bonding and characteristic properties such as conductivity and malleability.
What are the subatomic particles that are transferred to form ions?
Ions are formed by the gain OR loss of an electron.
