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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Amanda [17]3 years ago

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.

SIZIF [17.4K]
PH of solution will be greater than seven (pH>7), that means that solution is basic (<span>pH above </span>7<span> is a base, the higher the number, the stronger is the base).
</span>pH (potential of hydrogenis) is a measure of the hydrogen ion (H⁺) concentration of a solution. <span>Solutions with a pH less than 7 are acidic.</span>

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

To balance a reaction, the amount of reactants must be equal to the amount of products, as stated by the Law of Conservation of Matter. It may help you to keep track of  the number of each element in a list as you try to balance. It's not able to be balanced.
