Do chemical bonds share atoms?
No. However, covalent bonds share electrons between two atoms. In an ionic bond, electrons are either gained or lost forming ions.
What an atom that has gained or lost electrons causing an electric charge?
alphalpha
Why electrons move from anode to cathode?
The words are all arbitrary - - - BUT electrons have a "negative" charge and are attracted to a positive voltage. (Opposites attract.)
How many electrons will be gained or lost in carbon?
Carbon is the "utility player" of chemistry, and can bond in many different ways with other elements. It generally shares electrons covalently with other non-metals, usually hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. It doesn't typically lose or gain them (but can in certain situations.)
Cations and anions similar?
No, cations have a positive charge and have lost electrons. Anions have a negative charge and have gained electrons. In an ionic compound anions and cations attract each other due to opposite charges.
Which type of bond are electrons gained or lost?
ionic bond is formed by the complete transfer of electrons
What is formed if electrons are gained or lost?
An ionic bond between the ions (formed from the atoms).
What is a bond between atoms in which electrons are lost or gained?
Ionic bond is formed between the ions.
Which Bond is formed when electrons have been lost by one atom and gained by another atom?
Polyatomic This is for you A+ users
What is a oxidation bond?
the bond in which electrons are lost or oxygen atoms are gained or hydrogen atoms are lost.
What is the type of atomic bond that exists when valence electrons are lost or gained?
covalent bond
When a bond is formed is energy lost or gained?
give out energy
What is characteristic of an ionic bond?
Electrons are lost from one atom and gained by another
What characteristic is an ionic bond?
Electrons are lost from one atom and gained by another
What is a type of chemical bond where atoms gain or lose electrons?
Ionic bonds are formed when electrons are gained or lost. This is the complete transfer of electrons between the atoms. For e.g sodium(Na) releases its one electron which is transfered to the deserving chlorine atom(Cl). So, chlorine becomes negatively charged and the sodium atom becomes a positive ion(Na+). This is the case when electrons are completely transfered from sodium to chlorine and ionic bond is formed i.e NaCl. Moreover, when electrons are shared between atoms covalent bonds may form.
Which two atoms an iconic bond?
Atoms that have lost one or more electrons form an ionic bond with an atom that has gained one of more electrons.
What happens in an ionic bond?
One atom has lost electrons . And the other atom has gained electrons.
