If those two atoms were put next to each other which way would the electons go?

To figure out what would happen to the electrons when two atoms are placed together, details to electronic configuration of both the participating atoms will be required. For example if interacting atoms are of inert gas then no electrons will be shared or transferred. Refer to the Periodic Table of elements to get the idea about the electronic configuration of different elements.

Would the latest elements to be discovered have heavier atoms or lighter atoms than the other elements?
because some atoms are bigger than others
Which element consists of atoms that's most strongly attract electrons of other atoms?
The element that attracts electrons the most would be Fluorine
Would there be any atoms left over after 10 Mg atoms and 10 Cl atoms combined?
You would wind up with 5 moles of Magnesium Chloride MgCl2 and 5 atoms of Magnesium just chilling around. Depending on where they bumped into each other, the excess Magnesium might form Magnesium Hydroxide or just bind to itself.
When atoms combine their outer energy levels lose or acquire?
When atoms participate in a bond, their outer energy levels may seem to acquire or lose one or more electrons that ordinarily would have occupied those orbitals. One view of ionic bonds is that one atom loses an electron and the other atom gains it - and thus the atoms acquire opposite charges and attract each other causing them to combine into a molecule; in covalent bonds two atoms will share one or more electrons from their outer orbitals.
Refers to the nucleus and inner electrons of an atom?
If you remove the outer electrons of an atom, the remaining nucleus and inner electons would be called an ion.
How would you know if an equation is balanced?
all of the atoms on one side equal the atoms on the other
How does covalent bond hold hydrogen and chlorine together?
There are unpaired elecrons in the outer shells of all atoms ( except the nobel gases ). When two atoms come together the electrons on the outer shells are electrostatically attracted to the positive nucleus of the neighboring atom ( due to the presence of protons ), but are also attracted to the nucleus of the atom which it is part of. As a result the atoms come together and share a pair of electons which gives both atoms a full outer shell each and the shared electons are held in place by the electrostatic attractions between the protons in the nucleus and the negative electrons.H - (ee) - H .... (ee) being the shared electrons.I used Hydrogen because it only has one shell with one electron in each atom. Any other molecule would be too complicated to draw using a keyboard.Sorry if thats a bit confusing.Source(s):Higher Chemistry

What is the elemental symbol for an atom with 13 protons 17 neutrons and 12 electons?
It does not exist If it did exist it would be 30Al+
What would be more reactive fluorine or carbon?
Carbon because it has a lesser amount of valence electons compared to fluorine
Which element consists of atoms that's most strongly attract electrons of other atoms?
The element that attracts electrons the most would be Fluorine
What would happpen if only gravity were operating on earth?
Well, everything would be stable gravitationally, but if there were no other forces, like electromagnetism for instance, then our atoms might not hold together, or they would get mixed into the atoms where we sit or walk, etc. We need other forces.
Can a light saber ever be made?
yes, because we have the force and the laser atoms. And you just have to stick that stuff in metal tube. But if you press that button the force would have to push those atoms out.
How many hydrogen atoms are present in a hydrocarbon chain of five carbons joined to each other by single covalent bonds?
This compound would be pentane and would have 12 hydrogen atoms.
