What atom tends to gain one electron when it combines with another atom?
All elements in the 7th family/group (2nd from the right) on the Periodic Table.
What is the only particle in a atom that is able to move from one atom to another?
Electrons can move from one atom to another during the formation of an ionic bond. In ionic bonding, one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another. The atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion, and the atom that gains electrons becomes a negatively charged ion.
What is the ability to attract electrons from another atom called?
electronegativity
What determines how an atom behaves when it encounters another atom?
The electron configuration of an atom determines how it behaves when it comes into contact with another atom.
What happens to the properties of the atom when it forms an ionic bond with another atom?
Charge is decreased in one, and increased in another.
What does water and oxygen make up?
Oxygen is made of a oxygen atom and water is made out of a oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. When combined under the right conditions, hydrogen peroxide can be formed (H2O2).
Where on a periodic table is one atom that has similar properties of sodium?
The atom right under it and in sodiums family; potassium.
Does the copper kept buried for more than 100 years turn to copper iridium?
No, how can it? One type of atom doesn't spontaneously convert to another type of atom, except under conditions of great heat (as in the interior of stars), or in cases of radioactive decay. Iridium is a different element - a different type of atom. If no iridium was present at the start, none will appear.
How is oxide ion formed?
Oxidation forms when an element is exposed to oxygen under the right conditions. I'm not a scientist so I can't tell you the details, but it is technically a chemical reaction.
What atom tends to gain one electron when it combines with another atom?
All elements in the 7th family/group (2nd from the right) on the Periodic Table.
Can an atom burn another atom?
no
Under what circumstances does your atom have a - charge?
Under what circumstances does your atom have a negative charge

Under what conditions would it be desirable to have a scale model larger than life?
As a teaching aid for instance when looking at the parts of a mosquito or an atom etc etc.
What is the ability to attract electrons from another atom called?
electronegativity
What determines how an atom behaves when it encounters another atom?
The electron configuration of an atom determines how it behaves when it comes into contact with another atom.
Why are electrons in an atom involved in bonding?
they have a natural tendecy to become stable that's why different elements under different conditions react to form different elements or compounds.
