What else can I help you with?
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.
What chemical bond occurs when atoms lose gain or share electrons?
When atoms lose and gain electrons, an ionic bond will form. When atoms share electrons, a covalent bond will form.
Why do you think atoms lose electrons to or gain electrons from other atoms?
to become stable
What is a reason for atoms to not gain lose or share electrons?
This depends on the electronegativity of atoms.
Do ion share electrons with other atoms?
Ions do not share electrons with other atoms. Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Positive ions (cations) lose electrons, while negative ions (anions) gain electrons.
When atoms lose or gain electrons they from?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
Atoms typically do not lose protons because that would change the identity of the element. Instead, atoms can lose or gain electrons to form ions with a different charge. Protons are not generally lost by atoms in chemical reactions.
When atoms gain or lose electrons the charged particles that result are called molecules?
Atoms that gain or lose electrons become ions, not molecules. Ions are charged particles due to an imbalance of protons and electrons. Molecules are formed when atoms are bonded together by sharing electrons.
Can atoms lose or gain atoms to form elements?
No. Atoms of an element lose or gain electrons to form ions.
When atoms gain or lose electrons they become negatively or positively charged They are known as?
When atoms gain or lose electrons, they become negatively charged if they gain electrons (anions) or positively charged if they lose electrons (cations). These charged atoms are known as ions.
Hat are charged particles the form when atoms gain or lose electrons?
Charged particles that form when atoms gain or lose electrons are called ions. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). When an atom loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion (cation).
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.
What structure will atoms have after losing of gaining electrons?
If atoms lose electrons they will have a positively charged ion called a cation. If they gain electrons, they will have a negatively charged ion called an anion.
What chemical bond occurs when atoms lose gain or share electrons?
When atoms lose and gain electrons, an ionic bond will form. When atoms share electrons, a covalent bond will form.
Why do you think atoms lose electrons to or gain electrons from other atoms?
to become stable
Do atoms lose and gain electrons when a new substance is forming?
Some atoms lose electrons, some gain electrons, and some share electrons depending on what elements are involved and what compound is forming.
What give or take electrons?
Atoms can gain or lose electrons to become charged particles called ions. When atoms gain electrons, they become negatively charged ions, while atoms that lose electrons become positively charged ions. This transfer of electrons allows atoms to achieve a more stable state by filling their outer electron shell.
