What chemical bond occurs when atoms lose gain or share electrons?
When atoms lose and gain electrons, an ionic bond will form. When atoms share electrons, a covalent bond will form.
A chemical bond formed from shared electrons?
A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share electrons. This could be either a polar covalent bond or a non-polar covalent bond. Also, a more complex type of covalent bonding is the coordinate bonding.
Do atoms join by a covalent bond do not gain or lose electrons?
they share electrons
How would you determine which of a group of atoms acquires the most negative charge in a covalent bond with hydrogen?
In a covalent bond neither group of atoms would gain any charge since the electrons are "shared" between two atoms.
Can two chlorine atoms bond?
Yes, two chlorine atoms can bond, to form Cl2, which is the elemental form of chlorine.. The individual atoms do not gain or lose electrons but share them forming a covalent bond.
Part of atom that forms a bond?
Atoms form bonds with electrons. When they lose or gain whole electrons, the bond is called an ionic bond, and when two atoms share electrons, the bond is called a covalent bond.
How many electrons would carbon have to gain to form a covalent bond?
Carbon atoms do not gain electrons to form a covalent bond. Carbon atoms form four covalent bonds by sharing its four valence electrons with the valence electrons of other atoms. These can be single bonds, in which one pair of electrons is shared; double bonds, in which two pairs of electrons are shared; or triple bonds, in which three electrons are shared; or a combination of these.
What kind of bond forms O2?
An oxygen atom is located in the 16th period of the periodic table so its outermost level of electrons(level 2) contains 6 electrons which is two less then eight. So, in order for oxygen to fill its outermost level it needs to gain two electrons, or in this case, form a covalent bond with another oxygen atoms this is why an oxygen atom has a subscript of 2.
What do atoms gain or lose when they bond?
If the chemical bond is ionic, an electron is gained or lost. If it is covalent, the electron is shared equally; if it is polar covalent, the electron is shared unequally. If the bond is intermolecular, no parts of the atom are actually shared, gained, or lost; the atom itself is simply attracted to other atoms.
What is the difference between a ionic bond covalent bond and a polar covalent bond?
The ionic bond is formed by electrostatic attraction between two atoms.In the polar covalent bond the electrons sharing is unequally distributed between the two atoms, but the bond remain covalent.
How can two atoms form a covalent bond?
Two atoms can form a covalent bond (also called molecular bond) by bonding a non-metal with another non-metal. These non-metals can be found on the far right side of the periodic table (as well as hydrogen). When the atoms interact, neither atom is willing to give away its electrons, therefore when the atoms bond together, they share their valence electrons, whereas ionic compounds gain and lose valence electrons. .
What happens when two or more atoms come together?
They fuse together.
