What property of oxygen makes it share electrons unequally with hydrogen atoms?
Oxygen atoms have a greater electronegativity than hydrogen atoms. Electronegativity is the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself.
What is a bond which atoms share electrons?
Covalent bonds share electrons.
When molecules are formed atoms share or loose electrons?
To form a molecule, atoms can share, lose, and gain electrons
How many other pairs of atoms can carbon share its electrons with?
a carbon atom can share electrons with up to four other atoms.
When atoms form bonds with atoms they share?
Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons
Electrons that a hydrogen atom shares?
Hydrogen atoms share electrons in a covalent bond.
How do hydrogen atoms make a covalant bond?
Two hydrogen atoms share their electrons; thus, both of them have two electrons each in their first shell and become stable.
What property of oxygen makes it share electrons unequally with hydrogen atoms?
Oxygen atoms have a greater electronegativity than hydrogen atoms. Electronegativity is the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself.
What kind of bond holds hydrogen atoms together in a hydrogen molecule?
The two atoms share their electrons - so it is a covalent bond ie a shared pair.
How do an atom of hydrogen and molecule of hydrogen differ?
A molecule of hydrogen is two atoms of hydrogen bonded together so that they share their single electrons, making them act as if they had a full s1 orbital in both atoms.
"atoms share electrons"?
Atoms share electrons when they form covalent bonds.
How many electrons shared in a covalant bond between to hyrdrogens?
Since hydrogen atoms only have one electron, two hydrogen atoms would share one pair or two electrons with each other.
When hydrogen loses atoms what is formed?
Hydrogen itself is an atom. If that hydrogen atom were to lose/gain/share electrons it would become an isotope/ ion
Why is a molecule of hydrogen H2 is described as nonpolar?
Because the two atoms that share their electrons in a hydrogen-to-hydrogen covalent bond are identical, there is no favored place for the electrons in this bond that is nearer to one of the atoms than to the other. This is the definition of a non polar bond.
When two atoms of hydrogen come together and share their electrons what bond you formed?
Nonpolar covalent bond.
When atoms share electrons what forms?
A covalent bond forms when atoms share electrons.
Atoms share electrons in this type of compound?
Covalent compounds occur when atoms share the electrons. Another type of compound is an ionic compound in which electrons are donated from one atom to another. An example of a covalent compound is hydrogen chloride.
