What else can I help you with?
Do atoms lose and gain electrons when a new substance is forming?
Some atoms lose electrons, some gain electrons, and some share electrons depending on what elements are involved and what compound is forming.
In a covalent compound some electrons are?
In a covalent compound some electrons are shared between at least two atomic nuclei.
What do some atoms share to become stable?
I do believe the answer is electrons.
Do the chlorine atoms ever return the electrons to the sodium atoms?
No, the chlorine atoms do not return the electrons to the sodium atoms.
Unlike sodium and chlorine some atoms become more stable by sharing what?
Some atoms become more stable by sharing electrons. This type of chemical bonding is known as covalent bonding, where atoms share pairs of electrons to achieve a full outer shell and increased stability.
Does each electron consist of only one type of atom?
Electrons are smaller than atoms. There are electrons in atoms, but no atoms in electrons.
Atoms are split to produce .?
other atoms, some loose protons, electrons, and neutrons (which get attached to other atoms and change them) and energy.
Can atoms of some elements can share three pairs of electrons?
yeap!
Unlike sodium and chlorine some atoms become more stable by sharing electrons forming what?
Unlike the sodium and chlorine, some atoms become more stable by sharing electrons and therefore form the ionic compounds.
Are electrons shared between atoms in a covalent bond?
Yes. To form 8 electrons in their outer shell (or 2, if they only have one shell), some atoms share electrons, instead of gaining or losing them to others.
What electric energy?
All matter is composed of atoms. Atoms are composed of Electrons, neutrons and protons and some other particles. Electricity is the flow of electrons. Electrons orbit around protons and neutrons in every atom.......
Do atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration?
They can do either - and they will. This is the fundamental mechanism behind the science we know as chemistry. Or Yes, they do. Some want to borrow some and some want to loan some out. This is the fundamental mechanism behind the science we know as chemistry.
