What does a sulfur atom need to do to become an ion?
It needs to lose, or gain, electrons.
When atoms lose or gain electrons they are called what?
ion
What charge results when specific elements become an ion?
When an element becomes an ion, it can either gain or lose electrons. If it loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation). If it gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). The charge of an ion is determined by the number of electrons it has gained or lost.

What does a sulfur atom need to do to become an ion?
It needs to lose, or gain, electrons.
How does arsenic atom become an ion?
Arsenic becomes an ion by gaining or losing electrons. It can either gain three electrons to form the As3- ion (arsenide ion) or lose three electrons to form the As3+ ion (arsenite ion), depending on the reaction conditions.
How many electrons will chlorine gas gain or lose when it become an ion?
A chlorine atom will gain one electron when forming an ion. That will give the ion a charge of 1-.
Would sulfur gain or lose an electron when forming an ion?
Sulfur can both gain and lose electrons when forming ions. It can gain two electrons to form a sulfide ion (S2-) or lose two electrons to form a sulfide ion (S2+).
How can a nitrogen atom become an ion?
In a nitrogen atom's ground state, it has five atoms. The electron will have to gain three electrons to become stable.
How many electrons will aluminum gain or lose when it forms an ion?
