Will a cesium atom donate an electron to a chlorine atom to form isolated Cs plus and Cl - ions?
No
What is an atom that donates an electron called?
A substance that can donate a lone pair of electrons is called a Lewis base. The definition of a Lewis base is a compound or ionic species that can donate an electron pair to an acceptor compound.
How does a atom become a positive ion?
This is by gaining (-) or losing (+) electrons
What part of a sodium atom is transferred when an ionic bond is formed whit other atom?
The sodium atom will donate an electron to the other atom which it is in compound with, leaving you with Na[+] and another, negatively charged ion (for example Cl[-]).
If an atom has one valence electron what will it form?
The positive ion, the one that took the electrons, should have a full shell while, the negative ion, the one that lost the electrons, should have an empty shell.
Will a cesium atom donate an electron to a chlorine atom to form isolated Cs plus and Cl - ions?
No

What do you call a collection of electron orbitals within an atom?
It is called an electron shell.
What do you call the region of an atom in which electrons move?
The region of an atom in which the electrons move is called the electron shell, or electron cloud.
How does a atom become a positive ion?
This is by gaining (-) or losing (+) electrons
What kind of atoms are bonded to carbon atoms in the molecule?
Atom which have lone pair to donate their electron to complete their octet.
When the outermost enegery level of an atom is full it tends to be what?
The outermost shell in an atom is also known as the valence shell. When an atom is able to donate or obtain electrons to obtain a noble gas electron configuration, it is said to be stable. Generally, metals are electron donors and non metals are electron acceptors.
What do we call an atom that loses and electron?
This is a cation (positive ion).
What do we call an atom that loses an electron?
This is a cation (positive ion).
Why is sodium in salt?
Sodium often tends to donate its valence electron to a non metal atom to form an ionic compound.
What part of a sodium atom is transferred when an ionic bond is formed whit other atom?
The sodium atom will donate an electron to the other atom which it is in compound with, leaving you with Na[+] and another, negatively charged ion (for example Cl[-]).
How many electrons does a potassim atom need to donate to another atom to satisfy the octet rule?
Potassium has only one electron in its outer shell. To satisfy the octet rule it can either receive 7 electrons or donate 1; the minor is high in energy and thus is not observed in nature. K then donates one electron to become potassium ion (K+) with the electron configuration of argon (Ar).
