Describe the formation of ions by electron loss or gain

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ronch [10]2 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Ions form when atoms gain or lose electrons. This is so that they form a full outer shell of electrons. When an atom gains electrons it becomes a negative ion, because electrons are negatively charged. For example, all halogens (group 7 or 17) form negative ions as they gain an electron forming a 1- charge. When an atom loses electrons it becomes a positive ion, as it is losing some negative charge from the electrons. This would be for example, alkali metals (group 1) which lose an electron to form a positive ion with a 1+ charge, (ALL metals form positive ions).

nasty-shy [4]

Answer :  La carga nuclear efectiva (Zef) es la carga positiva neta experimentada por un electrón en un átomo polielectrónico. El término "efectiva" se usa porque el efecto pantalla de los electrones más cercanos al núcleo evita que los electrones en orbitales superiores experimenten la carga nuclear completa

Is a diamond a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture or a substance
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

heterogeneous

Explanation:

It's a heterogeneous mixture. Diamond is made of just one element: carbon. Each carbon atom in diamond is connected to four other carbon atoms, in a crystal that extends on and on. There are other forms of pure carbon where the atoms are bonded differently, notably charcoal and graphite.
