How many electrons can phosphorous gain or lose?
Phosphorus can gain up to three electrons to achieve a full outer shell and form the phosphide ion (P3-), or lose up to three electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration and form the phosphorus cation (P3+).
How many electrons will strontium gain or lose in forming an ion?
It will lose 2 to form Sr2+
How many electrons would carbon have to gain to form a covalent bond?
Carbon atoms do not gain electrons to form a covalent bond. Carbon atoms form four covalent bonds by sharing its four valence electrons with the valence electrons of other atoms. These can be single bonds, in which one pair of electrons is shared; double bonds, in which two pairs of electrons are shared; or triple bonds, in which three electrons are shared; or a combination of these.
How many electrons must Se gain to acquire noble gas arrangement?
Se has to gain two electrons
How many electrons are lost or gained in the element o when they form ions?
atoms gain and lose electrons, so they can have a full outer shell of 8 electrons (or two electrons if its the innermost shell) when atoms lose electrons it is called oxidation and when they gain electrons they are said to be reduced. OIL RIG is most commonly used to help remember that oxidation is loss and reduction is gain of electons. when atoms lose electrons they are left with a positive charge and when they can electrons they have a negative charge.
How many electrons do calcium gain?
Calcium loses two electrons to form the cation Ca2+.
How many electrons can phosphorous gain or lose?
Phosphorus can gain up to three electrons to achieve a full outer shell and form the phosphide ion (P3-), or lose up to three electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration and form the phosphorus cation (P3+).
How many electrons will aluminum gain or lose when it forms an ion?
Aluminum will lose 3 electrons to form Al3+ ion.
How many electrons will strontium gain or lose in forming an ion?
It will lose 2 to form Sr2+
How many electrons does nitrogen gain to form and ion?
Nitrogen can gain three electrons to form an ion with a charge of -3. This would give nitrogen a stable octet of electrons in its outer shell, following the octet rule.
Will Se lose or gain electrons and how many?
