What is an electron neutron and protron?
Atom's were the smallest thing that we knew of in our universe, until one day a long time ago we split the atom and begun to take a look inside.In the center of an atom are proton's and neutron's. The center is also called the nucleus.Moving around the center of the atom are electrons. Electron's are now the new 'Smallest' thing known to man.Electrons have a negative chargeProtons have a positive charge andNeutron's have a neutral or no charge (some atoms may not apply to this rule)From the information of how many Electrons/Protons and Neutron's you can discover certain qualities and the family/place in the periodic table of elements.I've added links to help you further in understanding Atoms.In an atom a proton is a positive charge, an electron is a negative charge and a nuetron is a neutral charge.Protons are attracted to electrons, due to opposite charges.Electromagnetic force pulls them (Protons and Electrons) together.Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus (center of the atom).
Does an ion form when two atoms share electrons?
No, when they 'share' electrons they don't tranfer electron(s) from one to the other atom. This would be necessary for an ionic bond, between a cation (+ charge) and anion (- charge) Sharing electrons give covalent bonds.
Alpha and beta particles of nuclear radiation are similar because they involve what?
Nothing really. Beta particles are electrons or positrons (the antimatter counterpart of electrons), and alpha particles are two protons and two neutrons (a helium nucleus). I guess the only things that they share are speed, and particles in them that have electric charge.
Does a neutron lose and gain electrons?
All metals when taking part in chemical reactions tend to lose electrons. They are electro positive... electrons in the outer shell, one or two most commonly (in Groups one and two of the periodic table) are lost or donated, to attain to an inert gas structure ( a full outer shell).
What bonding that requires a transfer of electrons?
When a bond is formed by the transfer of electrons, it is an IONIC bond. Covalent bonds share electrons.
How does a atom transfer charge?
By colliding with other atoms, they share electrons and make bonds.
What do protrons and electrons share?
They generally don't share anything... in balenced atoms there is the same amount of protons and electrons so that the atom has an overall no charge... if you loose an electron you get a positvly chared ion particle and vice versa if you loose a proton (you get a negatively charged ion) this is because protons have a positve charge and electrons have a negative charge...
Is a proton an electron or a neutron used to form bonds?
Protons and electrons are used to form chemical bonds between atoms. Neutrons do not participate directly in bond formation since they are neutral particles found in the nucleus of an atom. In a chemical bond, atoms share, gain, or lose electrons to achieve a stable configuration.
What bond occurs between atoms that do not share electrons equally?
A polar covalent bond occurs between atoms that do not share electrons equally. In this type of bond, one atom has a slightly more negative charge while the other has a slightly more positive charge due to differences in electronegativity.
Can atoms with no charge combine with other atoms with no charge?
Yes. When atoms with no charge combine with one or more atoms with no charge, it's called a molecule. They may share electrons to complete their octet.
Are there charges in covalent compounds?
What are the conditions of carbondioxide is dissolved in water
What are covalent bond considered if the atoms share electons equally?
A covalent bond where atoms share electrons equally is considered nonpolar. This occurs when the electronegativities of the atoms are similar and they attract the shared electrons equally, resulting in a balanced distribution of charge.
