What else can I help you with?
Will radium share lose or gain electrons?
Radium lose two electrons, the cation is Ra2+.
Why diamond doesn't lose 4 electrons?
The ionisation energy required to lose four electrons is generally very high. Hence carbon doesn't lose four electrons.
Do actinides and lanthanides lose electrons when combining?
Actinides and lanthanides lose electrons and form cations.
How many electrons does Si gain or lose?
Silicon (Si) can gain or lose 4 electrons. It can either gain 4 electrons to have a stable octet configuration or lose 4 electrons to achieve a stable configuration.
Will potassium lose electrons or gain electrons when reacting with bromine?
Potassium will lose electrons when reacting with bromine. Potassium is a metal and tends to lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, while bromine is a nonmetal that tends to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
The lose of electrons from a molucule is called?
Lose electrons is oxidation. To gain electrons is reduction.
Do atoms of metallic elements tend to gain or lose electrons?
Atoms of metallic elements tend to lose electrons to form positively charged ions. This is because metallic elements have few electrons in their outer shells, making it easier for them to lose electrons and achieve a stable electron configuration.
Does beryllium's gains or losses ion?
You question is a bit incorrect. Beryllium is a metallic element in Group (II) of the Periodic Table. Being in Group (II) it will have a strong tendency to loose electrons(ionisation). In its neutral state beryllium has the electron structure of 1s2, 2s2, This means that its inner most electron shell (1s) contains two electrons. Its outer most electron shell (2s) also contains two electrons. When beryllium ionises two electrons , they are 'lost' from the outer most (2s) electron shell. They are further from the nucleus of the atom and are not so strongly held.!!!!! When these two electrons have 'gone' , the Beryllium atom is now the Beryllium ION. (It is no longer an atom). Formulaically it is written as Be(g) = Be^(2+) + 2 e^(-) So for beryllium atom to become a Beryllium ION it LOSES TWO electrons.
How many electrons does polonium have to lose or share?
Polonium can lose two or four electrons.
Is uranium more likely to lose or gain electrons?
Uranium loose electrons becoming a cation.
How Many electrons will iron gain or lose when it forms a ferric ion?
it will lose 3 electrons
Do actinides and lanthanides lose electrons when combining?
Actinides and lanthanides lose electrons and form cations.
Are radioactive isotopes produced when atoms lose electrons?
When atoms lose electrons cations are produced.
