When forming compounds atoms try to gain or lose what?
In forming compounds, atoms are engaged in either gaining or losing electrons. They may also share electrons, but that is also a form of gaining or losing electrons.
What is the process of losing or gaining electrons to become stable?
Losing or gaining electrons is known as ionization, a process that occurs when an atom gains or loses electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Atoms tend to lose or gain electrons to achieve a full outer shell, following the octet rule. This process forms ions, which are electrically charged particles.
What is a chemical bond formed by atoms losing or gaining electrons?
metallic bond
What is the charge in a phosphorus ion gaining or losing electrons?
Common valences are 5 or 3.
What is ionization of an element?
It is a neutral atom of the element gaining or losing one or more electrons.
Can chemical bonds be produced by losing electrons losing nuetrons transferring electrons sharing electrons or gaining electrons?
Chemical bonds can be only produced by gaining, losing or sharing electrons. If a compound is formed by losing or gaining electrons, it is called an ionic bond and if by sharing electrons, it is called a covalent bond.
An atom becomes an ion by losing or gaining what?
electrons
How do some atoms gain or lose electrons to form ions?
Oxidation: losing electrons Reduction: gaining electrons OIL RIG (oxidation is losing-reduction is gaining) ^ helpful memory tool.

An atom can become an ion by losing?
An atom can become an ion by losing electrons. It can accomplish the same thing by gaining electrons.
How does an object become electrically charge?
by gaining or losing electrons.
What is the opposite of oxidising?
If you meant the opposite of oxidation, that would be "reduction". Oxidation is the act of losing an electron, while reduction is the act of gaining an electron.
How checially active an element is depends on the losing gaining or sharing of what?
Electrons
What kind of bond refers to losing and gaining electrons?
Ionic bonding.
Do metals form positive ions by gaining electons?
No - by losing electrons
What is the process of losing or gaining electrons to become stable?
Losing or gaining electrons is known as ionization, a process that occurs when an atom gains or loses electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Atoms tend to lose or gain electrons to achieve a full outer shell, following the octet rule. This process forms ions, which are electrically charged particles.
How can an atom become positively or negatively charged by gaining or losing this subatomic particle?
An atom can become positively charged by losing an electron, resulting in more protons than electrons. Conversely, an atom can become negatively charged by gaining an electron, which creates an excess of electrons compared to protons.
