In a ionic compound one or more atoms lose electrons and one or more electrons gains electrons?
yes
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.
What is the name of the bond that takes place when the atom's electrons give or gain electrons?
Ionic bonding- the transfer of electrons from one atom to another. This results in ions, as the atoms which gain/lose electrons now have a charge.
What tend to lose electrons in order to become stable?
In chemistry, metals are the elements that tend to lose electrons when they react to form compounds; Non-metals tend to gain electrons when they form compounds. When metals and non-metals react and exchange electrons with one another they form an ionic bond.
Do in ionic bonding atoms loose or gain electrons?
Actually both. Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions whereas when atoms lose electrons positively charged cations are formed. Ionic bond is the force of attraction between cations and anions
In forming a chemical compound does an atom of an element gain or lose electrons?
Electrons are both gained and lost in the formation of an ionic compound. The metal atom loses one or more electrons to the nonmetal with which it bonds. So the metal atom becomes a positively charged ion and the nonmetal atom becomes a negatively charged ion, and the ionic bond is formed by the electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions, forming the ionic compound.
Is ionic compound a solid?
An Ionic compound is any compound in which some of the atoms gain or lose electrons to form Ions, and it has no specific state (solid, liquid, gas). So, the short answer is no, not necessarily.
Why does sulfur gain electrons when forming ionic bonds?
because nonmetals gain electrons in ionic bonds and metals lose electrons in ionic bonds(oxidize).
What forms when atoms gain electrons Lose electrons?
An ionic bond.
What types of bonding gain or lose electrons?
Ionic
Does chlorine want to gain or lose electrons?
As fluorine is a halogen (the group in which the elements are more reactive as they are one electron lesser than that of the octet configuration)and hence it can only gain electrons.
When do element lose or gain electrons?
Ionic Bond is the answer SGT John
How are ions joined to form ionic compound?
ions are formed by the transfer of electrons. Cations are formed when atoms lose electrons, anions are formed when atoms gain electrons. Ionic bond is the electrostatic force of attraction between the oppositely charged ions.
Does an oxygen molecule gain or lose electrons?
Oxygen molecules tend to prefer covalent bonding when forming compounds. This means that they will share electrons more readily. However, when forming an ionic compound, they will usually gain electrons rather than losing them.
In a ionic compound one or more atoms lose electrons and one or more electrons gains electrons?
yes
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.
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.
