What else can I help you with?
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.
What happens to individual atoms when there is a chemical change?
Gain, or loss, or sharing of electrons with other atoms.
When metals react with other elements do the atoms of the metals gain or lose?
Metals are likely to make anions. So they lose electrons to get a positive charge. The other elements gain electrons and get negatively charged.
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.
What happens when electrons gain its charge?
Electrons always have their charge, when atoms gain electrons, they become ions.
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.
Typically atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve what?
Stable I think.
What atoms are likely to gain one or more electrons when they bond with other atoms?
nonmetals
Do atoms of nonmetals usually gain or share electrons when they combine with other atoms?
Yes.
What happens to atoms of most nonmetals when they react with other elements?
They tend to gain electrons when reacting with a metal. Metals generally are short of a full octet by 1 to 4 valence electrons. It is easier to drop 2 electrons than try to gain 6 electrons. The elements in group four can go either way, but the other metals will give up electrons, and non-metals will take them.
When metals react with other elements the atoms of the metals loose or gain electrons?
They will loose electrons.
What happens to individual atoms when there is a chemical change?
Gain, or loss, or sharing of electrons with other atoms.
When atoms lose or gain electrons they from?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
What happens with atoms of the metals when they react with other elements?
Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.
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
When metals react with other elements do the atoms of the metals gain or lose?
Metals are likely to make anions. So they lose electrons to get a positive charge. The other elements gain electrons and get negatively charged.
Do atoms of nonmetals usually lose electrons when they combine with other atoms?
No, atoms of nonmetals usually gain electrons when they combine with other atoms. Nonmetals have a tendency to attract electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, typically by forming covalent bonds with other nonmetals or by gaining electrons to form anions.
