What molecule is formed by covalent bonding?
Molecules formed by covalent bonding include water (H₂O), methane (CH₄), and oxygen (O₂), where atoms share electrons to achieve a stable configuration.
Are atoms more stable when combined?
No. They combine when the compound is more stable. Any system will tend to go toward a more stable state. If a molecule is less stable than the individual atoms there is a good chance it will fall apart.
Does oxygen atoms become more stable or less stable when oxygen forms compounds?
Oxygen becomes more stable when it forms compounds.
How many electrons are in the n 2 shell of the oxygen atom before bonding?
There are two electrons in all atoms
What elements are bonding to hydrogen in hydrogen bonding?
flourine oxygen and nitrogen forms hydrogen bonding with hydrogen
Can calcium and oxygen form an ionic bond?
because calcium is a group 2 element which makes it a metal an oxygen is a group 6 element which makes it a a nonmetal. calcium have to lose 2 electrons to become iso-electronic to neon (to become stable) and oxygen need two electron's to become iso-electronic to neon as well (to become stable) calcium transfer its 2 electrons to oxygen its will become stable and so will oxygen. because this type of bonding took place between a metal an a nonmetal its refers to as a ionic bonding and the compound which form as a result of this type of bonding is known as a ionic compound
What prevents glucose from instantly combining with oxygen?
It's a stable molecule; there's nowhere for another oxygen atom to bond to a glucose molecule because all the bonding sites on it are filled.

Oxygen becomes more stable when it forms compounds.
What type of bonding is expected between strontium and oxygen?
covalent bonding
How many electrons are in the n 2 shell of the oxygen atom before bonding?
There are two electrons in all atoms
How can a proton form bond with lone pair of oxygen in water?
A proton or hydrogen ion (H+) is electron deficient and on its own is not stable. To become stable it will bond covalently with a non-bonding electron pair on another atom (such as nitrogen or oxygen) to achieve the electron configuration of helium. This type of bonding is a coordinate covalent bond. It is similar to a normal covalent bond only one atom in the bond contributes both electrons rather than each atom contributing one. This type of bonding is common in polyatomic ions.
What elements are bonding to hydrogen in hydrogen bonding?
flourine oxygen and nitrogen forms hydrogen bonding with hydrogen
What process do atoms undergo to become stable?
Chemical Bonding
The bonding characteristics of oxygen are most similar to the bonding characteristics of?
heliu helium
Which type of bond holds atoms together in an oxygen molecule?
In a molecule of oxygen, the two atoms of oxygen are bonded to each other by covalent bonding. The two atoms of oxygen share their two valence electrons and achieve stable electronic configuration.
