What happens to an atom when it is reduced?

anions are formed


What are the elements that possess anions?

Only nonmetal elements can usually form monatomic anions, but some metallic elements, such as aluminum and iron, can form polyatomic anions that also include other very strongly electronegative elements, such as oxygen and fluorine.


Do nonmeatls form anions or cations?

Generally anions. (e.g. Cl-, F-, O2-, N3-)


Do Metals tend to have higher electronegative than nonmetals and therefore tend to form anions?

No. Metals generally have lower electronegativity and form cations.


Does fluorine form monatomic anions?

Yes, fluorine can form monatomic anions by gaining an electron to achieve a stable electronic configuration. This results in the formation of the fluoride ion (F-), which is commonly found in various compounds.


Where do you tipically find Anions on the periodic table?

Elements that will form anions are on the right side of the periodic table, except for the noble gases in group 18, which don't form ions.


What do cations and anions come together to form?

Cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negatively charged ions) come together to form ionic compounds through electrostatic attraction. The cations and anions bond together to achieve a more stable electron configuration and form a neutral compound.


What type of ions form an ionic compound?

Positive ions (cations) and negative ions (anions) form an ionic compound through electrostatic attraction. The cations and anions are held together in a crystal lattice structure, resulting in a stable compound.


What happens when two non metal atoms ionize?

generally anions are formed


A anions and xenons b anions and cations c cations and xenons d xenons and anions Which of these are ions?

The ions are b, anions and cations. Note that xenon is not an ion, it is a noble gas.


Which tends to form anions when bonding with other elements?

Anions are negative ions, so any element that gains a negative charge in a chemical reaction. Some examples of elements that commonly do this are the halogens (flourine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, astatine) and oxygen.


In which set do all elements tend to form anions in binary ionic compounds In which set do all elements tend to form anions in binary ionic compounds a( Ba Cu Sn b( Se F Cl c(Rb Sn S d( P As Sb?

Set c (Rb, Sn, S) tends to form anions in binary ionic compounds. Rb is a metal that tends to lose an electron to form a cation, while Sn and S are nonmetals that tend to gain electrons to form anions.
