Chemistry

Answer:

An ion is an atom or group of atoms that has an electric charge. When an atom loses an electron, it loses a negative charge and becomes a positive ion. When an atom gains an electron, it gains a negative charge and becomes a negative ion. a sodium ion forms when a sodium atom loses one electron and becomes positively charged. a chloride ion forms when a chlorine atom gains one electron and becomes negatively charged.

Hope this helps,

An atom X has 2 electrons in its outer orbit. What will it do to form a stable ion?
matrenka [14]

Answer:

In a neutral molecule, the sum of the bonding valance electrons must be equal. So the products of the negative element and its charges and the positive element and its charge must be equal.

Explanation:

C1×N1 = C2×N2

If we have a 3 valance electrons , the 'A' charge will be either +3 or -5 for a full octet and valance electron in 'B' atoms will mostly result in acquisition of additional electrons (2) for an octet and relative charge of -2.

Balancing the two,

3 × A = -2 × B

To be equal, A = 2 and B = 3

Therefore, A²B³
