Do metals donate or accept electrons? what do they become after they donate/accept electrons?

Metal usually donates electrons. The concept behind this phenomenon is stability. The elements with the most stable electronic configuration are the noble gases in Group 5A. As a result, the other elements donate or accept electrons so that they would be like the noble gases. Since metals are past their nearest noble gas element, they have to shed their electrons. When they do, they become cations which are positively charged ions.

Effect of azeotrope system​
Naddik [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

The effect of azeotrope system is that , a positive azeotrope system boils at lower temperature than the other liquid constituents. It is also refer to as minimum temperature.

A negative azeotrope system boils at high temperature than other liquid constituents.

When magnesium combines with sulfur to form magnesium sulfide, it is oxidized to Mg2+. Which statement is true about this reacti
Vlad1618 [11]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B. It involves loss of electrons.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Oxidation occurs when electrons are lost by an atom while reduction refers to the gain of electrons by an atom.
  • <u><em>In this case, magnesium atom reacts with sulfur to form magnesium sulfide by loosing two electrons and forming magnesium ion (Mg2+). Therefore magnesium undergoes oxidation.</em></u>
  • Sulfur, on the other hand will gain electrons to form Sulfide ions, therefore it undergoes reduction.
  • Therefore;<em><u> In magnesium sulfide (MgS), magnesium loses two electrons and becomes a cation with a positive-two charge. Likewise, sulfur obtains the two electrons lost from magnesium and becomes an anion with a negative-two charge. However, the overall charge of MgS is zero.</u></em>

An acetylide anion is more stable than either a vinylic or alkyl anion due to Group of answer choices the greater stability of a
sashaice [31]

Answer:

the stabilization of the negative charge in orbitals with higher s character

Explanation:

Acetylide anion is a carbon anion compound or popularly called carbanion. Now Acetylide anion is sp hybridized. However acetylide anion tends to be more acidic as we move from sp³ to sp, hence acidicity increases, which makes sp to have the highest acidity and become the most  stable.

So, we can conclude that the acetylide anion is more acidic due to the stabilization of the negative charge in orbitals with higher s character and  as the s character increases, acidic nature of acetylide anion also increases.
