What happens to an atom if it loses an electron?

Chemistry
1 answer:
jolli1 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

When an atom loses electron(s) it will lose some of its negative charge and so becomes positively charged. A positive ion is formed where an atom has more protons than electrons. In the opposite case when an atom gains electron(s) it becomes negatively charged (more electrons than protons).

Determine if these molecules and ion are polar.
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

a. Polar

b. Polar

c. Non-polar

d. Non-polar

Explanation:

a. H_3O^+, hydronium cation contains a positive charge. Just as any other ion, it is polar, as it has a net charge.

b. H_2S has the same shape as water. There are two lone pairs on sulfur atom which produce an overall dipole moment in this molecule, the bent structure is polar.

c. PCl_5 is non-polar, as the central atom, phosphorus, doesn't contain any lone pairs, all the dipole moments cancel out: two dipole moments in the vertical plane, P-Cl, and three P-Cl dipoles in the horizontal plane within a trigonal bipyramidal shape.

d. CF_4 is non-polar, since it's a tetrahedral molecule with no lone pairs on carbon atom, all four C-F dipole moments cancel out to yield a net 0 dipole moment.
