The covalent bond between a hydrogen atom and the oxygen atom in water is formed when?
The covalent bond between a hydrogen atom and and an oxygen atom when the two atoms share electrons. They form a water molecule when there are two hydrogen atoms sharing electrons with one oxygen atom.
What kind of chemical bond will be formed between atom a and atom b if atom a loses electrons and atom b gains these electrons?
An ionic bond will form. Covalent bond, however, is when the two atoms share electrons when they bond.
What bonds does water form between hydrogen and oxygen?
Covalent bonds hold the atoms together in a water molecule. In covalent bonds atoms share electrons.
What happens when a sodium atom and chlorine atom exchange electrons?
They form an ionic bond
Does atom give electron to form ionic bond?
Yes, essentially one atom in the bond pulls on the electrons so much harder than the other, that they do share them to form the bond, but the more electronegative atom pretty much owns those electrons.
Does mangnesium and oxygen form an ionic bond?
Yes: Each magnesium atom transfers its two valence electrons to an oxygen atom to form the ionic compound magnesium oxide.
How can a magnesium atom bond with oxygen atom?
The magnesium has 2 valence electron while the oxygen misses 2 electron to complete its octet. An atom is always more stable when it has 8 valence electrons. The magnesium will create an ionic bond with the oxygen by giving its 2 electrons to form Magnesium Oxide, MgO.
The covalent bond between a hydrogen atom and the oxygen atom in water is formed when?
The covalent bond between a hydrogen atom and and an oxygen atom when the two atoms share electrons. They form a water molecule when there are two hydrogen atoms sharing electrons with one oxygen atom.
What kind of bond forms O2?
An oxygen atom is located in the 16th period of the periodic table so its outermost level of electrons(level 2) contains 6 electrons which is two less then eight. So, in order for oxygen to fill its outermost level it needs to gain two electrons, or in this case, form a covalent bond with another oxygen atoms this is why an oxygen atom has a subscript of 2.
How many covalent bonds can oxygen form with another oxygen atom?
Because oxygen contains six valence electrons, it can allow two other oxygen (or other elements) atoms to covalently bond with it.
Can a atom form as many bonds as there are protons?
it is not right to say that " an atom form as many bonds as there are protons?" because an atom of any elemant can form bond to become stable let us take a example of oxygen it have 6 electrons in the outermost shell and to become stable it forms double covalent bond with another oxygen atom or with two hydrogen to form water it means that it forms bond with 2 electrons so in any case of any atom of any element to have 8 electrons it forms the number of bonds of the remaining electrons to form atoms.
What kind of chemical bond will be formed between atom a and atom b if atom a loses electrons and atom b gains these electrons?
An ionic bond will form. Covalent bond, however, is when the two atoms share electrons when they bond.
As a bond between a hydrogen atom and a sulfur atom is formed electrons are?
The pair of electrons is shared to form a covalent bond.
What are two atoms that bond with a oxygen atom to form a water molecule?
two atoms that bond with a oxygen atom to form a water molecule
How is bond formation between chloride-oxygen in perchloric acid in perchlorate?
One chlorine-oxygen bond can be considered "Normal" with the oxygen donating one electron and the chlorine donating the other to form a covalent bond. Bonded to an oxygen atom in this manner, the chlorine atom has three nonbonding pairs of electrons. In order to achieve a stable, full outer shell, an oxygen atom needs to gain two electrons. So the chlorine donates its three pairs of electrons for bonding with three additional oxygen atoms.
What bonds does water form between hydrogen and oxygen?
Covalent bonds hold the atoms together in a water molecule. In covalent bonds atoms share electrons.
When an atom lose electrons in an ionic bond they form what?
they form cations
