Why do atoms change to ions?
Because they either lose or gain valence electrons.
Is it true atoms with fewer than 4 valence electrons tend to gain electrons when bonding?
No! Atoms with more than 4 electrons gain electrons during bonding. Atoms with less than 4 electrons tend to lose electrons during bonding. Hope this helps!
What happen to carbon atoms valence electrons when it bonds with other atoms?
When carbon atoms bond with other atoms, they share or transfer valence electrons to complete their outer electron shell. This sharing or transferring of electrons creates chemical bonds with other atoms, allowing carbon to form various compounds essential for life.
When elements gain three electrons to fill its valence energy level?
When these elements have five electrons on the outermost shell of electrons.
How does the energy of core electron compare with the energy of valence electron?
valence electrons are bound to atoms and are used to bind atoms into molecules. free electron are free, either they are in the conduction band "electron gas" of a metal or they are in a vacuum (perhaps in a vacuum tube).
What are atoms valence electrons?
the electrons on their outer shell, all atoms want to gain a full valence shell.
How does an atom keep its charge?
An atom's charge changes when it gains or loses electrons. Atoms naturally tend to lose or gain electrons to level out at eight valence electrons (valence electrons are electrons in the outermost energy level), so the only atoms that keep their charge are ions with eight valence electrons or the Noble Gases, atoms on the far right of the periodic table that have eigth valence electrons and a nuetral charge.
How will atoms with 5 valence electrons achieve a full set of valence electrons?
They will gain 3 electrons from something with 3 valence electrons.
Negative ions form when atoms-blank-valence electrons?
Negative ions form when atoms GAIN valence electrons.
What atoms tend to gain two electrons to form a anion?
se and sometimes gain electrons. Atoms with eight valence electrons do not easily lose electrons
What does a sulfur atom need to do to have a full valence level?
A sulfur atom needs to gain two electrons or share electrons with other atoms to have a full valence level. Sulfur has six valence electrons and can achieve stability by forming two additional bonds.
Which of the following statements are true about whether atoms tend to gain or lose electrons?
Atoms with eight valence electrons usually do not gain or lose electrons. Atoms with one, two, or three valence electrons will lose electrons.
Why do atoms change to ions?
Because they either lose or gain valence electrons.
Why do atoms form positive ions and others form negative ions?
It is a matter of how full an atom's outer or valence shell of electrons is. For most atoms, the most stable setup is one with a full shell of 8 valence electrons, and an atom will gain or lose electrons to achieve this. For atoms with close to 8 valence electrons, such a chlorine (7 valence electrons, it is generally easier to gain electrons and thus become negatively charged. For atoms with few valence electrons, such as sodium (1 valence electron), it is easier to lose electrons and go down to the next lowest shell, which is already full.
What atoms tend to gain two electrons to form a 2- anion?
se and sometimes gain electrons. Atoms with eight valence electrons do not easily lose electrons
Do only outer shells gain or lose electrons with other atoms?
Yes. Only the valence shell will interact with other atoms. This is how different elements are different from eachother. The electrons under the valence shell are never touched. Yes. Only the valence shell will interact with other atoms. This is how different elements are different from eachother. The electrons under the valence shell are never touched.
The electrons available to be lost gained or shared when atoms form compounds are called?
The bond formed when two atoms have a give-take relationship in relation to electrons is called ionic bonding. This will mostly happens so that atoms can gain stability.
