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.
Do oxygen gain or lose electrons?
Oxygen is an oxidizer, it will gain electrons in a reaction to complete it's valence shell.
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.
What would have to gain two electrons in order to achieve the same number of electrons as a noble gas O or Sr or Na or Se or Br?
Oxygen, O ,and selenium Se. O (oxygen) would have to gain two electrons in order to achieve the same number of electrons as Ne (neon, a noble gas). Selenium would gain two to achieve the same number of electrons as Kr, krypton (noble gas). They would form the oxide, O2- and selenide Se2- ions
How many electrons does O need to achieve noble gas?
Oxygen should gain 2 electrons to achieve noble gas configuration
What atoms tend to gain two electrons to form a 2- anion?
se and sometimes gain electrons. Atoms with eight valence electrons do not easily lose electrons

What does sometimes the best gain is to lose mean?
Ask O B 1

What kind of bond will formed between Ca and O?
Ionic bond. Calcium (Ca) will lose two electrons to become a positively charged ion, while oxygen (O) will gain two electrons to become a negatively charged ion. These opposite charges will attract each other, forming an ionic bond between the two atoms.
How many electrons does O need to achieve noble gas?
Oxygen should gain 2 electrons to achieve noble gas configuration
What ion would be formed from oxygen how many electrons would be lost or gained?
Oxygen is in group 6, and so it has 6 valence electrons. It needs to more to make an octet, so it will GAIN TWO electrons, and become negative 2, i.e. O^2-.
How could each what atoms react to achieve a noble gas configuration?
if the atom is an element from groups 1, 2, or 13, the atom has to give up electrons to make it have 8. For example, if you have Boron in group 13, it has 3 valence electrons, making it more likely to give up electrons than gain them. If you take 3 electrons from Boron, you get Helium. Helium is the noble-gas for Boron. B(+3) has a noble-gas configuration of He. if the atom is an element from groups 15, 16, or 17, the atom has to gain electrons to make it have 8. For example, if you have Oxygen with 6 valence electrons, it is more likely to gain electrons than lose them. If 2 electrons are added to Oxygen the noble-gas configuration becomes Neon. O(-2) has a noble-gas configuration of Ne. if the atom is an element in group 14, it can either gain or lose electrons. so the noble gas configuration could be the 4 electrons less or 4 electrons more than it. For example, if you add 4 electrons to Carbon you get Neon but if you take away 4 electrons you get Helium.
Is MnO a ionic bond?
Yes, MnO is an ionic compound. In MnO, manganese (Mn) is a metal and oxygen (O) is a non-metal. Metals tend to lose electrons to form cations, while non-metals tend to gain electrons to form anions, resulting in the formation of an ionic bond between the two elements.
An element is stable with eight electrons in its?
Oxygen (O) has 8 protons and 8 electrons.
