The name of what french city on the rhone river describes the ability of an atom to combine with another atom?
Valence is the ability of an atom or a group of atoms to combine with other atoms or groups of atoms. Valence, France is located on the left bank of the Rhone, along the railway line that runs from Paris to Marseilles. Valence citizens are called Valentinois.
Do atoms of nonmetals usually lose electrons when they combine with other atoms?
Yes :)
How does atoms combine to form molecules?
They can combine in lots of ways. Some reactive elements will combine on their own but others need heating to combine. Noble gases (krypton, argon, xenon, helium, neon and radon) do not react (combine) with other atoms.
When metal atoms combine chemically with atoms of other elements what do they usually do?
form covalent bond
What atoms form when they combine together?
They create molecules. If the atoms joined together are from different elements they create polar molecules.

Why do some atoms bond with other atoms?
Atoms combine with other atoms to form compound. It makes the atoms stable.
When atoms combine with other atoms?
They make molecules. Molecules are a bunch of Atoms together.
How do you find valency?
The valency of an element measures its ability to combine with other elements. This valency is determined by the number of electrons in the outer shell of each atom of an element.
Do atoms of different elements combine the same?
they combine with themselves atoms of different elements connot combine with each other wothout making a new molecule
Do atoms of nonmetals usually lose electrons when they combine with other atoms?
Yes :)
Can atoms with no charge combine with other atoms with no charge?
Yes. When atoms with no charge combine with one or more atoms with no charge, it's called a molecule. They may share electrons to complete their octet.
What kinds on atoms do not combine easily?
I'm not sure what you mean by "combine", but if atoms are similarly charged, they will not attract... in fact, they will repel each other.
Do atoms of nonmetals usually gain or share electrons when they combine with other atoms?
Yes.
What happens to most atoms when they combine with other atoms to form compounds?
they share electrons
When atoms combine chemically with atoms of other elements what do they usually do?
form covalent bond
Can molecules combine to form atoms?
No. Atoms bond to each other to form molecules, not the other way round
