What else can I help you with?
Can compounds be formed by sharing electrons?
Yes. Compounds formed by sharing electrons are called covalent compounds.
Do compounds have valence electrons?
Yes, compounds have valence electrons. Valence electrons are the outermost electrons of an atom involved in chemical bonding, and they are also involved in forming compounds by interacting with other atoms' valence electrons.
Can a compound be formed by sharing electrons?
Yes. Compounds formed by sharing electrons are called covalent compounds.
Is the sharring of electrons by elements to form compounds?
Sharing or electrons between atoms results in the formation of covalent compounds.
Are all compounds made by sharing electrons?
No, not all compounds are made by sharing electrons. Ionic compounds are formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions that are held together by electrostatic forces.
Why anti aromatic compounds have unpaired electrons?
Not all the anti aromatic compounds have the unpaired electrons, for example cycloocta tetraene
What type of compounds form from nonmetals sharing electrons?
These are covalent compounds.
How do molecular compounds bond?
When molecular compounds bond, they share electrons.
Are all compounds made of sharing electrons?
This is the situation of covalent compounds.
Why do elements form ion?
Both of the elements will have two different electronegativities. When there is a large difference between the two electronegativities, one element will "steal" one or more electrons from the other element. The energy required for this is ionization energy, and increases as an element takes more electrons from another. My answer: Elements are stabilized when they contain a "complete shell" or the noble gas configuration of electrons, which is usually eight electrons. Elements that have a number of electrons close to that of a noble gas, will lose or gain electrons easily. For example, elements in the column just to the left of the noble gases have one fewer electron than the noble gas next to it, and therefore they tend to gain one electron easily. Elements in the column on the far left of the periodic table have one more electron than the noble gas in each row, and they tend to lose one electron easily. Because the protons contribute the positive charge, and the electrons contribute the negative charge, an ion is formed when an element gains or loses one or more electrons.
What is the outermost electrons available to form compounds called?
The valence electrons.
Will a neutral atom react with another atom?
Yes it could by the transfer of electrons (as in ionic compounds) or by sharing electrons (as in covalent compounds).
