What type of change occurs when the electrons of two atoms interact to form an atomic bond?
They either share electrons (both attract the electrons so the electrons end up orbiting both atoms) called covalent bonding, or one atom transfers 1 or more electrons to another atom called ionic bonding.
How does the bonding process occur?
There are many types of bonds so that depends on the type, however, to put it in astronomically simplified terms, the bonding process occurs when electrons are shared between multiple atoms.
The fact that no chemical bonding occurs between the components of a mixture is the chief difference between mixtures and compunds?
Yes, it is true.
Why is valence electron important in chemical bonding?
Valence electron is important in chemical bonding because it has chemical energy so you can eat and it also is because it is.
What is a force that holds two atoms together?
it is actually a covalent bond my sister said so and shes like rly smart No, actually its chemical bond
What is the chemical bond resulting from the sharing of valence electrons by two atoms?
The simple answer is a Covalent bond. Polar covalent bonds have an unequal sharing. Pi bonds, which also involve can lead to a delocalisation of the electron pair. Multicentre bonds such as the so-called banana bond in diboarne has a pair shared across a B-H-B bridge.
Why can you bend metals?
It is to do with the bonding between atoms in the metal. A mettalic bond occurs in most metal alloys. It is when the electrons from the atoms are free to move around and no longer attached to any individual atoms. The atoms are effectivly in a sea of electrons. This gives them greater movement abilities so the metal can be bent.
Why is carbon unique element?
Of all atoms, carbon has the greatest diversity of chemical bonding patterns that permit so many different structures. Like Lego blocks with the most bumps.
What are the Ways by which atoms use their valence electrons during chemical bonding?
In covalent bonding atoms share their electrons. In ionic bonding one atom loses electrons while the other gains electrons, so they both become charged and then are attracted together. Valence electrons can also be set aside and not used in the bonding, for example in water oxygen uses two of its six valence electrons in covalent bonding with the two hydrogens, leaving four spare electrons which make up the two 'lone pairs'.
What is covalent bonding?
A Covalent bond is a form of chemical bonding that is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms, and other covalent bonds. In short, the attraction-to-repulsion stability that forms between atoms when they share electrons is known as covalent bonding.
Why are the valence electrons of an atom the only electrons likely to be involved in bonding to other atoms?
It is because only certain (the outer) electrons are available for chemical bonding that they are called valence electrons. By definition, the electrons available for bonding are called valence electrons. The others are more tightly bound to the nucleus.
How do ionic bond and covalent bond differ?
In ionic bonding, atoms of one element transfer electrons to the other so that both have stable configurations. In this type of bonding, outer-shell electrons are transferred from some atoms to the orbit of other atoms. Thus, atoms are ionized,those which give up electrons become negative ions. This creates an electrostatic bonding force between the atoms and is called ionic bonding. But in covalent bonding the valence electrons are not transferred from one atoms to the another atoms as in ionic crystals, but the neighbor atoms share their valence electrons under the formation of strong homopolar or covalent bonds. Thus, covalent bonds are formed by the shared electrons pairs between the valence electrons in the incomplete outer shell of the atoms.
