Magnesium has 2 valence electrons and oxygen has 6 valence electrons what type of bonding is likely to occur between a magnesium atom and an oxygen atom?
Magnesium will donate its 2 electrons to oxygen, forming an ionic bond. This results in the formation of magnesium oxide, where magnesium becomes positively charged as a cation and oxygen becomes negatively charged as an anion.
Which subatomic particle moves between atoms when charge is transferred?
Valence Electrons
If a chlorine atom gains or looses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called aan?
If a chlorine atom gains a valence electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion known as a chloride ion (Cl⁻). Conversely, if it were to lose a valence electron, which is less common for chlorine, it would become a positively charged ion, but this scenario is unlikely due to its high electronegativity. Thus, the most common ion formed by chlorine is Cl⁻ when it gains an electron.
Magnesium is a middle with two electrons in its outer most energy level when it becomes an ion what happens to its valence electrons what happens to its charge?
When magnesium becomes an ion, it loses its two valence electrons from its outermost energy level. This loss of electrons results in the formation of a positively charged ion, specifically a magnesium cation (Mg²⁺). Consequently, the charge of the magnesium ion is +2, as it has two more protons than electrons.
When an atom loses an electron and becomes negatively charged we refer to it as a (n)?
When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and is referred to as a cation. Conversely, if an atom gains an electron and becomes negatively charged, it is called an anion. Anions are typically formed by nonmetals, which tend to gain electrons to achieve a full valence shell.
If valence electrons are gained or lost the atom becomes a charged particle called a?
an ion.
When an atom gains or loses a valence electrons it becomes a charged particle called a?
Ion
A charge particle that forms when one or more valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another?
An ion is formed when one or more valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in a charged particle. The atom that loses electrons becomes positively charged (cation), while the atom that gains electrons becomes negatively charged (anion). This transfer of electrons creates electrostatic forces that hold the ions together in an ionic bond.
When a atom gain or looses a valence electron it become a charged particle called an?
When an atom gains or looses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an ion
When a sodium atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
When a sodium atom loses a valence electron, it becomes a positively charged ion called a sodium ion (Na+). When a sodium atom gains a valence electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion called a sodium ion (Na-).
When a sodium atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called a an?
ION haha apex is pretty boring huh
When an atom gains or lose a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Ion.
A charged particle that forms when one or more valence electrons are transfered from one atom to another?
Ion
When an atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle call a?
Ion.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
What is meant by the term ion when a sodium changes from an atom to an ion?
An ion is a charged particle. A sodium atom is neutral and has one electron in the valence shell. When it loses its valence elctron, it is no longer neutral and becomes Na+ , i.e a charged particle, hence it is an ion.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called?
an ion. If a chlorine atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged chloride ion (Cl-) and if it loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged chlorine cation (Cl+).
