How many electrons will each element gain or lose in forming an ion?

Chemistry

It depends on the number of valence electrons required to make octet or duplet( in case of H). For example, Nitrogen(atomic number = 7) has electronic configuration(2,5) which means nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and requires 3 more electrons to complete its octet. After gaining 3 electrons from atoms of an element with less electronegativity than N, it forms nitride ion (N ^{-3}). Hope this helps.

Katena32 [7]

Complete Question:

Suppose a cobalt atom in the +3 oxidation state formed a complex with two bromide (Br-) anions and four ammonia (NH3) molecules. write the chemical formula of this complex.

Answer:

[Co(NH₃)₄]⁺Br₂

Explanation:

The cobalt atom with +3 oxidation is represented as Co⁺³, and if it's bonded to two bromide ions, and four ammonia molecules. The molecules that are bonded to the metal atom (Co) are called complexing agents.

In the representation, we first put the molecules that surround the metal atom, forming an anion with the oxidation of the metal:

[Co(NH₃)₄]⁺³

Then, the ions are put in the formula. Because there are two bromides ion, each one with 1 minus charge, only 2 plus charged will be neutralized, and the complex will be:

[Co(NH₃)₄]⁺Br₂
