If atoms of a halogen nonmetal gain one electron the atoms the have?
They become anions, with negative electrical charge.
In chemical compounds covalent bonds form when -?
when.... 1- a metal forms bond with metals. 2- a nonmetal with nonmetal nonmetal. 3- or atoms having electronegativities difference less than 1.7 (with exeption of HF having E.N diff. 1.9)...... or Jefferson lab says: when pairs of electrons are shared between two nonmetal atoms or when pairs of electrons are shared between two nonmetl atoms
How are atoms held together in molecules?
Various things. If it is a nonmetal and nonmetal it going to be a covalent bond. If it is a metal and nonmetal it is going to be an ionic bond. If it is a metal and metal then it is a metallic bond.
What compound develops when nonmetal atoms chemically combine?
These are covalent compounds.
