What type of molecule forms when two molecules have an unequal sharing of electrons?
When two atoms are bonded together but have an unequal sharing of electrons the newly formed molecule is said to be bound by ionic bonds. This unequal sharing is due to differential attractions of the atoms in the molecule to the electrons.
Why don't atoms lose and gain electrons when covalent bonding occurs?
Because the atoms having covalent bonds "share" the involved electrons equally. This is one of the effects of Quantum Mechanics, the shape of the orbital probability cloud containing the electrons in these bonds changes shape to encompass both atoms valence bands.
How is the valence electrons of an atom related to a chemical bonding?
The valence electrons are the only electrons that are involved in chemical bonding. These electrons can be shared or transferred. A simple rule of thumb is that atoms "strive" to attain the octet either by loss gain or sharing of electrons.
Why do you have electrons in your body?
Your body is made of molecules which are made of atoms. All atoms have electrons.
Do you eat electrons?
Everything is made up of atoms and atoms contain electrons. Therefore I suppose that technically yes you do eat electrons as everything you eat has electrons in it.
What kind of chemical bond occurs by the equal sharing of atoms-?
A covalent bond occurs when atoms are sharing electrons equally.
When atoms combine with other atoms interaction occurs between their?
Interactions occur between their eletrospheres, where their valence electrons are located.
What bond occurs between atoms that do not share electrons equally?
Atoms that do not easily lose electrons form covalent bonds with other atoms. That is, they share electrons.
What is the bound that is formed when there is an equal sharing of electrons between atoms?
A bond in which there is an equal sharing of electrons between atoms is called a nonpolar covalent bond.
Bond formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms?
The bond formed by the sharing of electrons is called a covalent bond.
Is the sharing of electrons in polar covalent bonds equal?
The sharing of electrons in polar covalent bonds is unequal.
The particles that are invloved in the transfer or sharing between atoms are?
Electrons.
What particles are involved in the transfer or sharing between atoms?
electrons
What can a covalent bond be described as?
The sharing of electrons between atoms.
In a covalent bond can atoms become chemically stable by sharing their valence electrons?
Yes, a covalent bond involve sharing of electrons between two atoms.
What is the attraction that holds 2 covalently bonded atoms together?
Covalent Bond. A form of chemical bonding that is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms
Covalent bonds are formed by what?
They are formed by sharing electrons between the atoms.
