Question

BRAINLIEST OF CORRECT Match the atom to the number of electrons it is likely to gain/lose,​

Answer 1

The atoms according to the number of electrons it will lose or gain is matched as follows;

Sodium → lose 1

Nitrogen → gain 3

Sulphur → gain 2

Fluorine → gain 1

Boron → lose 3

Beryllium → lose 2

Atoms

Atoms are the building block of matter. The outermost electron of an atom determines the number of electron an atom loose during bonding. Therefore,

• Na(sodium) with an outermost electron of one will lose 1 electron to attain the octet rule.
• Nitrogen with an outermost electron of 5 will easily gain 3 electrons to attain the octet rule
• Sulphur(S) with an outermost electron of 6 will easily gain 2 electrons to attain the octet rule
• Fluorine with an outermost electron of 7 will easily gain 1 electrons to attain the octet rule
• Boron with an outermost electron of  3 will easily loose 3 electrons to attain the octet rule
• Beryllium with an outermost electron of 2 will easily loose 2 electrons to attain the octet rule

Answer 2

Answer:

Na: lose 1

O: gain 2

Al: lose 3

Be: lose 2

N: gain 3

Cl: depends on the limit of your study im grade nine and the energy level M can hold only eight electrons so i would have answered (gain 1)
