What else can I help you with?
What metals react with other metals what happens to the valence electrons of the metal atoms?
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
Why do atoms change to ions?
Because they either lose or gain valence electrons.
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.
What atoms would lose three electrons to empty its valence energy level?
Al (Aluminum) can lose three electrons to empty its valence energy level. Chemistry is the science of matter and the changes it undergoes. hope this helps! :)
How many valence electrons must calcium lose or gain to have 8 valence electrons?
It loses 2 electrons to obtain the argon configuration of 8 valence electrons.

What do metallic atoms produce when they lose their valence electrons?
An octet
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.
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
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.
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.
How valence electrons affects reactivity?
Valence electrons determine how easily an atom can bond with other atoms. Atoms with a few valence electrons are more likely to lose or gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, making them more reactive. The number of valence electrons also influences the type of chemical bonds an atom can form with other atoms.
What you is oxidation?
A reaction in which the atoms in an element lose electrons and the valence of the element is correspondingly increased.
What are bonds in atoms?
Two types: Covalent, in which they share valence electrons to form molecules. Ionic, in which they give or lose valence electrons two each other.
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.
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.
