Are the atoms sharing electrons?
Atoms which form covalent bonds do share electrons. An example would be the atoms in a water molecule. Yes, the electrons are really shared.
What name is given to bonds that involve sharing electrons?
There are two types of chemical bonds, ionic and covalent. Ionic bonds involve the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between the two atoms.
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.
Can free electrons collide with atoms?
Yes, free electrons can collide with atoms.
What are electrons part of?
electrons are part of atoms.
When atoms combine by the sharing of electrons a what is produced?
Chemical bonds are formed by sharing of atoms.
How can atoms combine with other atoms?
By sharing electrons in covalent bonds or by transferring electrons in ionic bonds
When two atoms combine by sharing electrons it is a(n)?
It is a covalent bond.
When two atoms combine by sharing electrons it is a bond.?
It is a covalent bond.
When two atoms combine by sharing electrons it is a(n) bond.?
It is a covalent bond.
Is it called an ionic or covalent when an two atoms combine by sharing electrons?
covalent
When two atoms combine by sharing electrons it is a(n) bond?
It is a covalent bond.
What atoms combine?
Atoms never combine (except in nuclear fusion), what we refer to as combination is a sharing of electrons and thus a change in electrical charge.
What type of bond is formed when two atoms combine by sharing electrons?
ionic bond
When atoms combine by sharing electrons in the outermost portion of their electron clouds what does it form?
Molecules.
How do you combine atoms by sharing electrons?
Yes, that is called covalent bonding which is a bond formed from a shared pair of electrons.
This is when atoms of elements combine by sharing electrons or by the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another?
chemical bond
