What is an example of How ions form?

Ions are formed when elements either gain or lose their electrons. For example, Sodium (Na), since it has one electron in its outer shell (valence electron) it will be easier for the atom to lose its one valence electron and give it to an element that would want to gain that one electron, for example, Chlorine. This reaction of gaining or losing electrons would create an either negative ion (gained electrons) or a positive ion (lost electrons). For the example that I did, the element Sodium would lose its one electron in its outer shell making it Na +1 because it would have one more positive charge then it would negative charge.


What would be the electrical charge of fluorine atom that gained an electron?

It would be -1 because gaining an electron will create a negative charge. F has a high electron affinity and therefore becomes an F- ion quite readily.


How can a magnesium atom bond with oxygen atom?

The magnesium has 2 valence electron while the oxygen misses 2 electron to complete its octet. An atom is always more stable when it has 8 valence electrons. The magnesium will create an ionic bond with the oxygen by giving its 2 electrons to form Magnesium Oxide, MgO.


Does sulfur have a magnetic property?

The element does have a magnetic moment. This is because there is one pair of electrons and two individual electron molecules in the valence shell. This is to say that the unpaired electron molecules create a magnetic moment. That is sulfur's magnetic property.


Does a photon and neutrino collision make an electron?

No. Both the photon and the neutrino have zero electrical charge and as such cannot create a charged particle.


How many electrons form ionic bonds?

This depends on the elemnts involved. The simple model of electron transfer to create octets is useful. In a cation with a charge of +1 one electron is lost, +2 two electrons etc. For anions when the charge is -1 one electron is gained, -2 two electrons gaine etc.


How to do ionization using electron beam?

An electron beam fires electrons at an atomic structure, where the negative charge of the electron becomes electrostatically attracted to the positive charge of the protons in sn atom's nucleus. The electron begins orbiting the atomic nucleus on an energy level with other electrons, the total number of which determines the electrical charge of the resulting ion. Simply put, adding 1 electron to a neutrally charged particle (an atom) will add 1 negative charge to the overall structure. So, by firing electrons at an atom, you will only ever create positive ions.


Is the valence electron farthest or closest to the nucleus?

No. By definition, valence electrons are the furthest electrons from the nucleus in the atom. They are the electrons most easily removed from (or added to) the atom to create ions. A loophole to this answer might be to say that hydrogen and helium only have 1 and 2 electrons respectively so their valence electrons are close. That's a matter of perspective, as no electrons are really "close" to the nucleus to begin with. A typical comparison is to imagine a grape seed in the middle of a football stadium. The grape seed represents the nucleus, and an electron would be a speck of dust on the outside of the stadium.

How do you use electron configurations to predict formulas of ionic compounds?

They show how many bonds an atom can create, and whether it gains or loses electrons. (Atoms with 5-7 valence electrons tend to gain electrons, atoms with 1-3 valence electrons tend to lose electrons, atoms with 4 valence electrons can do either, and atoms with 8 valence electrons don't naturally bond)


What charge does as electron have?

Electrons are the negatively charged particles of an atom. Together, all electrons of an atom create a negative charge that balances out the positively charged atoms called protons.


What rule are hydrogen and helium excepted from?

The elements hydrogen and helium are exempted from the octet rule. The octet rule, as you might recall, states that elements prefer to have eight electrons in their valence shells. Hydrogen has a lone electron in its valence shell, and cannot begin to "borrow" electrons to create a shell with eight electrons in it. Remember that its electron, a 1s1 electron, is in the 1s shell. Helium has a full 1s shell with its two electrons (1s1, 1s2). It has no interest in any other electron configuration because its valence shell is full. The first two elements on the periodic table are the exceptions to the octet rule. A link can be found below.


How do you create an electron affinity reactor?

To create an electron affinity reactor you will have to use the second ionization energy.
