When atoms of nitrogen and oxygen combine will they form ionic or covalent bonds explain?
will form covalent bond since they're both nonmetals+ since losing/gaining electrons takes a lot of energy, the # of electrons in their outewr shells will make it difficult .. so, the alternative is sharing electrons... ~Hetaliafan~ Hope this helps!! :) ionic=metal+nonmetal covalent= nonmetals metallic= metals
How do elements turn into a compound?
Elements turn into a compound by gaining or losing electrons to form ionic bond. They can also share electrons to form covalent bonds.
Are electrons shared between atoms in a covalent bond?
Yes. To form 8 electrons in their outer shell (or 2, if they only have one shell), some atoms share electrons, instead of gaining or losing them to others.
How can an atom become positively or negatively charged by gaining or losing this subatomic particle?
Gaining or losing electrons can cause an atom to become positively or negatively charged
What is a type of chemical bond where atoms gain or lose electrons?
Ionic bonds are formed when electrons are gained or lost. This is the complete transfer of electrons between the atoms. For e.g sodium(Na) releases its one electron which is transfered to the deserving chlorine atom(Cl). So, chlorine becomes negatively charged and the sodium atom becomes a positive ion(Na+). This is the case when electrons are completely transfered from sodium to chlorine and ionic bond is formed i.e NaCl. Moreover, when electrons are shared between atoms covalent bonds may form.
Can chemical bonds be produced by losing electrons losing nuetrons transferring electrons sharing electrons or gaining electrons?
Chemical bonds can be only produced by gaining, losing or sharing electrons. If a compound is formed by losing or gaining electrons, it is called an ionic bond and if by sharing electrons, it is called a covalent bond.
Atoms attain the same electron configuration as of noble gases by?
Either by losing or gaining electrons (and forming ionic compounds) or by sharing of electrons (and forming covalent compounds).
Atoms bond by gaining, losing, or sharing?
chmical bond
How do atoms attains stable configuration of noble gas?
Atoms gain stable configuration of noble gas, by either gaining or losing (as in ionic compounds) or sharing electrons (as in covalent compounds).
How checially active an element is depends on the losing gaining or sharing of what?
Electrons
Is covalent bond only sharing electrons or receiving?
A covalent bond is only the sharing of electrons. An ionic bond involves the losing and receiving of electrons.
What types of elements bond with each other?
How do elements bond together to form compounds?Elements join together by gaining, sharing, or losing electrons.
How do elements achieve noble gas configuration?
either by losing, gaining or sharing electrons.
What type of bonds does hydrogen form?
Hydrogen bonds with hydrogen bond acceptor atoms such as Oxygen. Covalent bonds with nearly anything.
What process can chemical bonds be produced by?
transferring electrons, gaining electrons, losing electrons and sharing electrons.
How do you achieve noble gas configuration?
By gaining, losing or sharing electrons and forming chemical bonds / compounds
What kinds of reactions are redox reactions?
Electron transfer reactions. reactions involving losing and gaining electrons
