Which subatomic particle determines reactivity?
Electrons, for chemical reactions
What are the electrons in the outer shell?
Those electrons are the valence electrons. They are the electrons which mostly take part in exchange of electrons or sharing of electrons. Hence, valence shell electrons are a very important part of chemistry since all the reactions due to them only.
The electrons that occupy the outermost filled shell are called?
Outer energy level electrons, or valence electron.
Why light is characterized by electric vector although it also possesses the magnetic vector?
It can probably be characterized by any of the two - the electric vector, or the magnetic vector.
How many valence electrons are found in a krypton atom?
There are 8 Valence Electrons.
Which type of bond is characterized by transferring valence electrons?
ionic bonding
Is it possible to have a reaction in which oxidation takes place but reduction does not?
Oxidation is characterized by the loss of electrons, and reduction is characterized by the gain of electrons. Since there must be an electron loser and an electron receiver, oxidation and reduction are always complimentary.
A material that is characterized four valence electrons in its atomic structure is called?
A conductor
What identification bond characterized by the sharing of electrons between atoms?
This is the covalent bond.
What type of element is characterized by the presence of electrons in the d orbitals?
All transition metals have valence electrons in a d-orbital.
The elements that are characterized by having only five electrons in the p sublevel belong to which family of elements?
The halogens have 5 electrons in the p sublevel.
When electrons are shared this type of bond is characterized as?
A covalent bond when they are shared unequally. There is another one but i do not recall it roght now
What do electrons do during covalent bonding?
A covalent bond is characterized by atoms sharing pairs of electrons. For example: CH4 is a covalent bond. Carbon has 4 valance electrons and hydrogen has 1. Therefore, the electrons will be shared as seen in the Lewis structure of CH4 . Unfortunately, I cannot draw it here, but you can look it up online.
What is the attraction that holds 2 covalently bonded atoms together?
Covalent Bond. A form of chemical bonding that is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms
What is a covalent band?
I believe your question is: 'What is a covalent bond?'A covalent bond is a form of chemical bonding that is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms.
What bonds are formed when atoms shair a pair of electrons?
The form of chemical bonding that is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms is a Covalent Bond.
Do ionic bonds exist between atoms or molecules?
Yes, for example in the reaction between a metal and a non-metal, metals loose electrons to form cations, and non-metals gain electrons to form anions. The resulting ionic solid is held together by ionic bonds formed due to the electrostatic forces acting between charged ions.
