No. Monatomic means there is only a single atom, this cannot be covalently bonded as this implies there are two or more atoms. Yes they have either gained or lost electrons.

An ionic compound is a compound that consist of molecules made of atoms that are covalently bonded?

The given statement is not either true or false consistently. An ionic compound can contain atoms that are covalently bonded, as in sulfate and nitrate salts, but it need not contain any such covalently bonded atoms.


Atoms can achieve a full octet of electrons by doing what?

By bonding with another atom, either ionically (donates/receives electrons) or covalently (electron sharing).


Is P2H4 ionic or covalent?

P4O6 is covalent; both phosphorous and oxygen are nonmetals, making it unlikely that either would donate electrons to the other.


What is a combination of atoms that are bonded together either by sharing or transferring electrons?

compound


Hydrogen bonds are formed between molecules when hydrogen is covalently bonded to an element that has a?

Hydrogen bonding can occur when either Nitrogen, Oxygen, or Florine is involved.


What interacts when atoms bonded in compounds?

Bonding is either donating/accepting or sharing electrons.


Is chloride opaque?

Chloride of what? The word chloride can refer to a chemical compound in which one or more chlorine atoms are covalently bonded in the molecule. This means that chlorides can be either inorganic or organic compounds. The simplest example of an inorganic covalently-bonded chloride is hydrogen chloride, HCl (a colorless acid). A simple example of an organic covalently-bonded (an organochloride) chloride is chloromethane (CH3Cl), often called methyl chloride (a colorless gas). Sodium Chloride is (as a monocrystalline solid) colorless but as a powder, opaque.


What is element compound ion and molecule?

An element is composed of only one kind of atom and cannot be broken down chemically. A compound is composed of atoms of two or more elements chemically bonded, and are either ionic or molecular. An ion is an atom that has gained or lost one or more electrons, developing a negative or positive charge, respectively. A molecule is two or more atoms covalently bonded.


How are electrons used in atoms?

They allow the atom to form a bond with another atom(s) either covalently or ionicly. This can be achieved by sharing (covalent bond) or giving/loosing (ionic bond) electrons.


Are peripheral proteins the same as lipid anchored proteins?

no, lipid-anchor membrane protein are found within the lipid-bilyer and are covalently bonded, but paripheral membrane proteins and found on the out side of the membrane , either on the extracellular or the cytoplasm side ,and they bonded my hydrogen bond.


Why is calcium oxide an ionic bond?

Calcium hydroxide has groups of covalently bonded atoms that have either lost or gained electrons. It is an ion made up of two or more atoms that are covalently bonded and that act like a single ion. ~Ayanna~ Your answer doesn't answer the question. ****************** This answer will: The covalent part is between the O-H of the hydroxide. In this instance, O and H always bond covalently. Calcium's bond with the OH, which is a separate subject, is ionic, as in Ca ++ : (OH -) x 2 Almost all compounds involving metals are ionic, so this is typical. That should clear it up


Do any compounds exist only as an atom?

No, a single atom would have to belong to a particular element. A compound must contain two or more different types of atom that are chemically bonded (either covalently or ionically) together.
