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.
Will radium share lose or gain electrons?
Radium lose two electrons, the cation is Ra2+.
When molecules are formed atoms share or loose electrons?
To form a molecule, atoms can share, lose, and gain electrons
What is a reason for atoms to not gain lose or share electrons?
This depends on the electronegativity of atoms.
What does atoms tend to gain lose or share electrons so as to have 8 electrons?
A completely filled shell of electrons has 8 electrons.
Do Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons?
Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons, but rather share electrons.
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.
Does silicon gain lose or share electrons?
It gains
Will radium share lose or gain electrons?

Do atoms join by a covalent bond do not gain or lose electrons?
they share electrons
When molecules are formed atoms share or loose electrons?
To form a molecule, atoms can share, lose, and gain electrons
Is it true that Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons but rather share electrons?
yes
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.
Why do atoms share gain or lose electrons?
Atoms gain, share, or lose electrons to try and become more stable. Atoms will gain, share, or lose electrons until they have a stable 8 valence electrons in their outer shell which is called an octet, which is stated in the octet rule. See the attached links for information on the octet rule.
Does silicon lose or gain electrons?
silicon prefers to share electrons forming covalent bonds
