Which describes how iodine bonds with other elements?

The I atom gains one electron
The I atom loses one electron
The I atom gains two electrons
The I atoms loses two electrons

1 answer

Iodine (I) typically gains one electron to bond with other elements. This is because iodine is a halogen, and it has seven valence electrons in its outer shell. By gaining one electron, it can achieve a full octet (eight electrons), which is a stable electronic configuration. Therefore, the correct description is:

The I atom gains one electron.
