What is shared when elements combine to form compounds?
Electrons are shared when elements combine to form molecules.
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 most likely to form between elements transferring electrons?
These are covalent compounds formed by sharing electrons.
What group share electrons and form covalent compounds with other elements?
The Nitrogen Group.
Why do elements form ionic and or covalent bonds?
Covalent or molecular compounds form when elements share electrons in a covalent bond to create molecules.
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.
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.
Does group 2 on the periodic table gain or lose electrons?
they will lose electron to form mono positive cation
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).
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 compounds form the element gadolinium and how are they used?
Compounds do not form elements. Elements form compounds.
