In a ionic compound one or more atoms lose electrons and one or more electrons gains electrons?
yes
What do atoms form when they share electrons pairs?
When atoms share electrons in one or more pairs, they form a new compound by covalent bonding.
Does oxygen gain electrons to form anions?
Yes it gains two electrons, because it already has 6 valence electrons..it gains two to make it an even 8 (because of the Octet Rule). Since it gains two electrons it makes it O^-2
Do oxygen gain or lose electrons?
Oxygen is an oxidizer, it will gain electrons in a reaction to complete it's valence shell.
Why should donor atoms donate the electrons?
Donor atom should donate the electrons to get into a stable state... and sometimes to form an ionic compound..
In a ionic compound one or more atoms lose electrons and one or more electrons gains electrons?
yes
What kind of event must occur involving electrons if atoms of two different elements react to form an ionic or molecular compound?
In an ionic compound, the atoms must transfer electrons. In a molecular compound, the atoms must share electrons.
Is it an ionic compound if one or more atoms loses electrons and one or more atoms gain electrons?
possible
What leads to an ionic compound with polyatomic ions?
When a molecular compound gains or loses electrons, it becomes a polyatomic ion.
Which kind of compound generally results when nonmetal atoms chemically combine with metal atoms?
An ionic bond forms between a metal and a nonmetal. Ionic bonding transfers electrons.
Is Cl2O2 an ionic compound?
No, it is not. It is a covalent compound formed by sharing of electrons between Chlorine and Oxygen atoms
When a bond is formed using electrons from two different atoms?
This can be either an ionic bond forming an ionic compound, or a covalent bond, forming a molecular compound. Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, and covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between atoms.
Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons and ionic bonds are formed when positive and negative ions bond to form an ionic compound.?
Ionic - electron transfer Covalent - electron share (co - share)
Is ammonia an ionic or molecular compound?
Ammonia is a molecular compound. The hydrogen atoms share electrons with the nitrogen atom.
Atoms share electrons in this type of compound?
Covalent compounds occur when atoms share the electrons. Another type of compound is an ionic compound in which electrons are donated from one atom to another. An example of a covalent compound is hydrogen chloride.
Type of compound?
There are ionic compounds which is a compound formed by a positive metal ion and a negative nonmetal ion. And there are convalent compounds which is a compound formed in which atoms share electrons.
What do atoms form when they share electrons pairs?
When atoms share electrons in one or more pairs, they form a new compound by covalent bonding.
