'What involves the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another?
Covalent bonding is the bonding that is required to complete a transfer of an electron from one atom to another.
What is the transfer of charge from one object to another by rubbing one is called?
Friction
Why are redox reaction important in some energy transfer?
Many of the energy conversions that go on in a cell involve reactions in which an electron is transferred from one substance to another. This is because the transfer of an electron also involves the transfer of the energy of that electron. Such an electron transfer is called a redox reaction. Examples are photosynthesis and cellular respiration
What bond forms when an electron is lost?
Generally, the transfer of an electron from one atom to another is known as an Ionic bond. The electron giving up its electron is the 'donor,' while the receiving electron is the 'acceptor.'
What will atoms transfer one or more to another to form a bond?
electrons
What happens to the charge of an atom if you take one electron away?
there would be a plus (+) charge. Electrons have a negative charge so when a neutral atom loses an electron, it becomes positive. Another word for this is a cation.
What would the charge be if an atom gains an electron and why?
Every electron has a charge of minus one. If a neutral atom acquires an additional electron, then it also acquires the charge of that electron, and will have a net charge of minus one.
When one molecule gains an electron from another the molecule that receives the electron has been?
The donor is the one who loses the electron. Donor is the elctron carrier.
Is the charge of a electron always equal to the charge on a neutron?
The charge on an electron is never equal to the charge on a neutron. An electron carries one negative charge and a neutron has no net charge.
What particle builds an electric charge when it is transferred from one object to another?
Electrons, they actually have an electric charge (like protons, but not neutrons), plus they are lighter and spin around the nucleus in the outer shell. This makes it easier to transfer to other atoms.
How are electrons kept in an atom?
a proton in at atom has a positive charge + and an electron has a negative charge - and they attract one another like magnets
What is the transfer of that occurs when molecules bump into one another called?
Do you mean ionic bond? An atom with one extra electron can transfer its electron to an atom that needs an electron so that both atoms will have a full outer shell (valence). Then the two atoms are held together in an ionic bond.
