Sodium should gain 7 or lose its outer electrons?
Sodium will lose 1 electron in its compounds.
Do all atoms tend to lose electrons?
No, not all atoms tend to lose electrons. Atoms can gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. The tendency to lose or gain electrons depends on factors such as the number of valence electrons and the element's position on the periodic table.
How many electrons must be gained or lost for each of the following to achieve a noble gas electron configuration Lithium atom Bromine atom Barium ion Helium atom?
sodium must lose 1 electron, helium is a noble gas it is in group 8 check your periodic table, sufide ion must gain 2 electrons
Does fluroine lose or gain electrons?
Fluorine (F) gains 1 electron to fill its second energy level with 8 electrons.
Does cesium gain electrons?
Cesium tends to lose electrons rather than gain them. As an alkali metal, cesium typically forms a +1 cation by losing its single valence electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
How many electrons are needed to gain or lose in potassium?
Electrons lose in case of potassium. It looses 1 electron.
Sodium should gain 7 or lose its outer electrons?
Sodium will lose 1 electron in its compounds.
When forming an ion how many electrons will potassium gain or lose?
Potassium will lose 1 electron to form a 1+ ion.
Will sodium gain or lose electrons?
Sodium will lose 1 electron to form a sodium ion.

Does rubidium lose or gain electrons to form an ion?
Rubidium typically loses one electron to form a +1 ion.
If an atom has 3 electrons how many electrons are in the outer shell Will it be more likely to acquire or lose an electron?
If an atom has three electrons, it will have one valence electron (valance = outer shell). It will be more likely to lose an electron than gain one, since it has only one to lose, but seven to gain.
How many electrons will chlorine gain or lose in forming an ion?
Cl has a tendency to gin electrons in a reaction, this is due to the fact that it has 7 electrons already, its much easier for chlorine to gain one more electron to have a full shell than to lose 7 and have a full shell.
What do atoms gain or lose when they bond?
If the chemical bond is ionic, an electron is gained or lost. If it is covalent, the electron is shared equally; if it is polar covalent, the electron is shared unequally. If the bond is intermolecular, no parts of the atom are actually shared, gained, or lost; the atom itself is simply attracted to other atoms.
Atom A has 17 negative electrons atom B has 18 Atom C has 14 and atom D has 11 Which one would be most likely to lose an electron and gain a positive one?
B WRONG in my opinion New Answer D which has 11 electrons and thus is most likely to lose 1 to get to a noble gas electron configuration. Losing 1 electron it would gain a charge of + 1. Look on the periodic table. Na (sodium) has 11 electrons. You can see it only needs to lose 1 and only 1 to gain noble gas configuration and thus have full outer electron shell. THus it would be easiest for it to lose an electron. Thus Na is the answer. Thus the one with 11 electrons is the answer. THus D is the Answer
