Chemical bonding is the joining of atoms to form new substances. The properties of these new substances are different from the properties of the original elements. An interaction that holds two atoms together is called a chemical bond. When chemical bonds form, electrons are shared, gained, or lost.

What is key in determining whether an atom will form a bond with another atom?
Valence electrons
Which two atoms form 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.
Part of atom that forms a bond?
Atoms form bonds with electrons. When they lose or gain whole electrons, the bond is called an ionic bond, and when two atoms share electrons, the bond is called a covalent bond.
What causes a chemical bond to form between atom?
transferring or sharing electrons
What happens when two nitrogen atom share electrons?
They form a covalent bond.
What kind of chemical bond will be formed between atom a and atom b if atom a loses electrons and atom b gains these electrons?
An ionic bond will form. Covalent bond, however, is when the two atoms share electrons when they bond.
As a bond between a hydrogen atom and a sulfur atom is formed electrons are?
The pair of electrons is shared to form a covalent bond.
When an atom lose electrons in an ionic bond they form what?
they form cations
What is key in determining whether an atom will form a bond with another atom?
Valence electrons
What happens when a sodium atom and chlorine atom exchange electrons?
They form an ionic bond
Does atom give electron to form ionic bond?
Yes, essentially one atom in the bond pulls on the electrons so much harder than the other, that they do share them to form the bond, but the more electronegative atom pretty much owns those electrons.
How are electrons used in atoms?
They allow the atom to form a bond with another atom(s) either covalently or ionicly. This can be achieved by sharing (covalent bond) or giving/loosing (ionic bond) electrons.
When a pair of electrons is shared between two atom what form is the bond called?
covalent bond
Which two atoms form 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.
Part of atom that forms a bond?
Atoms form bonds with electrons. When they lose or gain whole electrons, the bond is called an ionic bond, and when two atoms share electrons, the bond is called a covalent bond.
Which bond forms by sharing electrons in the outermost shell?
The sharing of electrons between atoms forms a covalent bond. If electrons are donated from one atom to another to form a bond this would be an ionic bond.
When an atom completely gives up its valence electrons to another atom they form a bond that is considered to be?
ionic
