What else can I help you with?
If silicon has four electrons in its outer energy level what type of bond will silicon form with?
A Covalent bond, because it takes too much energy to gain/lose more than two electrons, thus leaving the option of sharing electrons forming a covalent bond.
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.
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-.
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.
Could beryllium lose or gain electrons?
Beryllium typically loses electrons to form a +2 ionic charge. It is easier for beryllium to lose its outermost electrons than to gain new ones due to its small atomic size.
How many electrons does silicon gain or lose?
Silicon gains 4 electrons.
How many electrons does Si gain or lose?
Silicon (Si) can gain or lose 4 electrons. It can either gain 4 electrons to have a stable octet configuration or lose 4 electrons to achieve a stable configuration.
Does silicon lose or gain electrons?
silicon prefers to share electrons forming covalent bonds
Does silicon gain lose or share electrons?
Silicon typically shares electrons when forming chemical bonds. It has four valence electrons that it shares to form covalent bonds with other atoms. This sharing allows silicon to complete its outer electron shell and achieve a stable electron configuration.
When compounds gain electrons they lose or gain energy?
Lose
When atoms lose or gain electrons they from?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
Will Se lose or gain electrons and how many?
Se will gain electrons
The lose of electrons from a molucule is called?
Lose electrons is oxidation. To gain electrons is reduction.
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.
Does copper gain or lose electrons?
it loses electrons
If silicon has four electrons in its outer energy level what type of bond will silicon form with?
A Covalent bond, because it takes too much energy to gain/lose more than two electrons, thus leaving the option of sharing electrons forming a covalent bond.
How many electrons are lost or gained in silicon?
Silicon has the atomic no. of 14 and has 4 electrons in its outermost shell. Thus,in order to make bonds it must loose or gain 4 electrons in order to achieve stable configuration but this process requires lot of energy. Therefore, silicon mostly makes bonds by sharing its electrons.
