How do atoms of oxygen change when they react to form their ions?
Under the usual chemical conditions oxygen gains electrons to form ions. However when ionized by electrical discharges or other high energy physical processes oxygen can lose electrons to form ions.
Why do ions become insoluble in alkaline soils?
the ions react with alkaline soils and produse atoms.
Atoms with eight valence electrons form compounds easily?
No. Atoms and ions with a full valence shell are very stable. "Noble gases" such as helium hardly react with anything.
Ions form when what is transferred between atoms?
Electrons
Why would ionic compound be more likely to dissolve in water in oil?
An ionic compound can form interactions with water. Water happens to be a polar molecule. The positive ions are going to react with the partially charged negative ions (that are in the water). The negative ions will react with the partially positive charged hydrogen atoms in the water. But the ionic compound won't dissolve in oil because it can't form the same reaction.
How do sodium and chlorine react to form sodium chloride?
When in elemental form, atoms of sodium lose electrons to atoms of chlorine, forming ions (this occurs in a 1:1 ratio). These ions are attracted by the electric difference between them and form a salt.
Why atoms of group 0 elements do not form ions?
why atoms of group 0 elements do not form ions

Negative ions form when atoms-blank-valence electrons?
Negative ions form when atoms GAIN valence electrons.
What form of atoms or molecules form ionic bonds?
Ions, charged atoms
Which atoms form ions most easily?
unstable atoms
Why do some atoms form positive ions and some form negative ions?
Because they want to.
Can atoms lose or gain atoms to form elements?
No. Atoms of an element lose or gain electrons to form ions.
What do atoms become to form compounds?
ions
When atoms react they form a chemical bond which is defined?
atoms
