What else can I help you with?
Does Krypton tend to lose, gain, or share its electron?
Krypton tends to neither lose nor gain electrons since it has a full outer electron shell, making it stable.
What kind of a tomb tends to lose one electron?
An atom with single electron in its outermost shell
Alkali metals lose an electron to form a stable octet. true or false?
False. Alkali metals lose one electron to form a stable electron configuration with a full outer shell of electrons, which is the stable electron configuration for these elements.
What is emitted by an atom as a result of electron capture?
After electron capture a neutrino is released.
How many valence electrons do alkali metals lose to obtain an octet?
they lose one electron
Does lithium lose an electron?
It loses an electron.
How many electrons does sodium want to lose?
Sodium wants to lose one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, similar to the noble gas neon.
When electron hits any wall like thing will it lose all its energy?
The electron does not lose its energy. The electron gets absorbed by the "wall" and the electron/energy becomes part of the "wall" system.
How many electrons are needed to gain or lose in potassium?
Electrons lose in case of potassium. It looses 1 electron.
When a potassium atom reacts with a bromine atom the potassium atom will?
lose only one electron
How many electron does potassium have to gain or loose in order to achieve a noble gas electron configuration?
Potassium has one electron in its outer shell. It will lose this electron to achieve the noble gas electron configuration of argon in its previous full shell.
Will lithium gain one electron when it reacts to form a compound?
No, lithium loses one electron to form a compound. It is an alkali metal with an electron configuration of 1s² 2s¹, so it tends to lose one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
What is likely to happen to an atom with one valence electron?
This atom lose an electron.
Will sodium gain or lose electrons?
Sodium will lose 1 electron to form a sodium ion.
What happens when you lose or gain an electron?
When you lose an electron, you become positively charged because you have more protons than electrons. When you gain an electron, you become negatively charged because you have more electrons than protons. This process is known as ionization.
In order to fall closer to the nucleus an electron must do what?
The respective electron has to lose energy.
What do you think happens to the size of an atom when the atom lose an electron?
It shrinks loosing an electron.
