Does iron gain or loose electrons?
Iron can both gain and lose electrons depending on the reaction it is involved in. In general, iron tends to lose electrons to form positively charged ions, such as Fe2+ or Fe3+, but it can also gain electrons to form negatively charged ions, such as Fe2-.
Will silicon lose or gain electrons?
Silicon will tend to gain electrons in order to achieve a stable outer electron configuration, as it has 4 valence electrons and typically forms covalent bonds with other elements by sharing electrons.
When atoms gain or lose electrons they become negatively or positively charged They are known as?
When atoms gain or lose electrons, they become negatively charged if they gain electrons (anions) or positively charged if they lose electrons (cations). These charged atoms are known as ions.
Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
Atoms typically do not lose protons because that would change the identity of the element. Instead, atoms can lose or gain electrons to form ions with a different charge. Protons are not generally lost by atoms in chemical reactions.
What is the charge carrier in a gas?
Electrons: In metallic bonded materials, many of the valence electrons are in orbitals sufficiently large to include the entire solid body and can therefore move very readily from one side of the body to another.
Will Se lose or gain electrons and how many?
Se will gain electrons
What happens when electrons gain its charge?
Electrons always have their charge, when atoms gain electrons, they become ions.
What elements gain electrons when they bond?
Nonmetals gain electrons in chemical reactions.
What does a sulfur atom need to do to become an ion?
It needs to lose, or gain, electrons.
What type of elements gain and loose electrons as they form bonds?
Metals lose electrons, nonmetals gain electrons.
How many electrons does As to gain noble gas configuration?
it should gain 3 electrons
What number of electrons must sulfur gain or lose to have 8 valence electrons?
Sulfur must gain two electrons.
How many electrons must phosphorus p gain or lose to have 8 valence electrons?
Phosphorus wants to gain three electrons to have 8 valence electrons.
Do metasls gain electrons?
If you mean Metals... No, they do not gain electrons, they actually lose electrons because it is a lot easy for them to lose them so they can gain stability much faster.
How many electrons phosphorus must gain or lose to have 8 valence electrons?
Phosphorus wants to gain three electrons to have 8 valence electrons.
Does reduction indicate a gain or a loss of electrons?
yes it is, it might be useful to know OILRIG: oxidation is loss , reduction is gain (of electrons)
When nonmetals and metals react which atom electrons?
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
