Who do elements transfer or share to form compounds?

electrons


Is the sharing of electrons by elements to form compounds a chemical property?

Yes.


What is shared when elements combine to form compounds?

When elements combine to form compounds, they share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This sharing allows them to form strong chemical bonds, resulting in the formation of a new substance with unique properties.


Is the composition of an ionic compound formed by two or more nonmetallic elements?

No, ionic compounds are formed by the transfer of electrons between a metal and a nonmetal. Nonmetallic elements typically form covalent compounds where they share electrons rather than transfer them.


What group share electrons and form covalent compounds with other elements?

Nonmetals typically share electrons to form covalent compounds with other elements. Covalent compounds are formed when two nonmetal atoms share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of electrons. This sharing of electrons results in the formation of a molecule.


What is most likely to form between elements transferring electrons?

These are covalent compounds formed by sharing electrons.


What do metals do when it comes to electrons?

When forming compounds, metal atoms usually donate some of their electrons to atoms of more electronegative elements to form compounds with ionic bonds. some metals can share electrons with other elements to form at least partially covalently bonded compounds. In elemental form, metal atoms share their electrons in what is called a "sea of electrons" that extends throughout the volume of a piece of elemental metal.


How do elements join to from compounds?

YES!!!! Taking Sodium and Chlorine as an example. Sodium metal is an element. Chlorine gas is an element. Put them together in a gas jar and they will react to form the compound sodium chloride. In nature atmospheric nitrogen (an element) will react with atmospheric oxygen (also an element), when a lightning strike discharges, to form nitrogen oxides (compounds).


What elements related in compounds?

Elements in compounds are related through chemical bonds, where atoms are joined together to form molecules. These bonds can be covalent (sharing electrons) or ionic (transferring electrons). The properties of compounds are determined by the types of elements present and the arrangement of atoms within the molecule.


Are the Noble Gases very reactive with other elements and form many compounds?

No. The noble gases are inreactive and don't form compounds with other elements. This is because they have a full outer shell of electrons.


How barium reacts with other elements?

Ba looses its two electrons to form Ba 2+ ion and then it reacts with other elements to form compounds.


What kinds if elements generally form covalent compounds?

Nonmetals typically form covalent compounds by sharing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Examples of elements that commonly form covalent compounds include hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine.
