Atoms can gain or lose electrons to become charged particles called ions. When atoms gain electrons, they become negatively charged ions, while atoms that lose electrons become positively charged ions. This transfer of electrons allows atoms to achieve a more stable state by filling their outer electron shell.

Is a conductor a material that does not easily give up or take on electrons?
A conductor is a material that easily allows the flow of electrons, making it a good medium for conducting electricity. It does not hold onto electrons tightly, allowing them to move freely within the material, unlike insulators which resist the flow of electrons.
Why do atoms give away electrons?
Atoms can give away electrons to achieve a stable configuration by filling their outermost energy levels. This can happen when an atom has excess electrons or when it is more stable when losing electrons to achieve a full outer shell. This exchange of electrons helps atoms achieve a more stable state through the formation of bonds.
How many electrons are in 2.0 coulomb of charge?
1.25 x 1019 give or take a few
What kind of charge does an object that has an excess of electrons have?
negative
How many electrons does it take to make 80Cu of charge?
The amount of electrons it takes to make 80CU of charge would come as an equation. CU stands for Coulombs. It would take 4.9932078e+20 electrons for 80 CU of charge.
Do metals take electrons or give electrons to the atoms they bond with?
Metals give up electrons while non-metals gain electrons
When reacting does uranium give or take electrons?
Uranium is a donor of electrons.
Does group 1 give or take valance electrons?
give
Does sodium chloride give or take electrons?
No
Do cations give or take electrons?
Cations are formed when an atom loses electrons, resulting in a positively charged ion. Therefore, cations give away electrons rather than take them.
How many electrons does phosphorus give or take?
phosphorus will accept 3 electrons or share 3 electrons
Why doesnt neon take or give electrons?
neon has completely filled orbitals, obeys octet and has stable electronic configuration. Hence it does not take or give electrons.
Do manganese give or take electrons?
Manganese can both give and take electrons. As a transition metal, manganese has variable oxidation states, ranging from +2 to +7, allowing it to both accept and donate electrons in chemical reactions.
Does carbon give or take electrons?
Carbon's electronic configuration is-2,4 and hence it has 4 electrons in the outer most shell. Therefore it is highly difficult for it to give electrons and highly difficult for it to be stable after gaining an additional 4 electrons. But Carbon does give and also take electrons under certain favourable conditions.
Does nitrogen give or take electrons?
Nitrogen is a nonmetal with 5 valance electrons, which tends to receive three electrons to complete it outer electron shell.
What are materials called that do not easily give up or take on electrons?
Thede are unreactive elements.
Do metals take or give electrons when they are combined with other elements?
it basiclly has sex and gets high
