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.

Select the correct hybridization for the central atom based on the electron geometry cocl2 (carbon is the central atom).
Rainbow [258]
In this compound (Phosgene) the central atom (carbon is Sp² Hybridized).

Sp, Sp² and Sp³ can be calculated very simply by doing three steps, 

Step 1:
           Assume triple bond and double bond as one bond and assign s or p to it. In this example carbon double bond oxygen is considered once and let suppose it is s. Now we are having our s.

Step 2:
          Count lone pair of electron, each lone pair counts for s and p. In this case there is no lone pair of electron on carbon, so not included.

Step 3:
          Count single bonds for s and p. As we have already assigned s to the double bond, now one p for one single bond, and other p for the other single bond.

Result:
          So, we counted 1 s for double bond, 1 p for one single and other p for second single bond. As a whole we got,

                                                       Sp²

Practice:
You can practice for hybridization of Oxygen in this molecule. Oxygen has 2 lone pair of electrons. (Hint: Sp² Hybridization)
