If the chemical bond is ionic, an electron is gained or lost. If it is covalent, the electron is shared equally; if it is polar covalent, the electron is shared unequally. If the bond is intermolecular, no parts of the atom are actually shared, gained, or lost; the atom itself is simply attracted to other atoms.
they gain 3 electrons and lose 1-2 electrons.. sometimes they do..!
They either gain, lose, or share electrons.

Electrons.

No. Atoms can gain and lose electrons but seldom gain or lose protons.
Protons and neutrons When atoms bond, a molecule is formed. When protons and neutrons bond, a nucleus is formed. When a nucleus and the necessary electrons bond, an atom is formed.
Atoms do not always lose electrons. Electrons can be gained too. Atoms always try to have their outer most shell filled, and some atoms such as ones of potassium can easily lose an electron rather than gain an electron. So it would lose an electron to a different atom so that it would have a full outer shell and the other atom would also have a full outer shell.
A Covalent bond, because it takes too much energy to gain/lose more than two electrons, thus leaving the option of sharing electrons forming a covalent bond.
gain
When atoms lose and gain electrons, an ionic bond will form. When atoms share electrons, a covalent bond will form.
do atoms of a covalent bond lose r share electrons
An ionic bond.
they share electrons
Yes, two chlorine atoms can bond, to form Cl2, which is the elemental form of chlorine.. The individual atoms do not gain or lose electrons but share them forming a covalent 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.
No. Atoms can gain and lose electrons but seldom gain or lose protons.
The ways that a chemical bond to form is for the atoms to either lose or gain their valence electrons.
They gain or lose electrons, while the atoms combine.
Bonding occurs when atoms gain,lose,or share electrons in their outer energy level.
No. Atoms of an element lose or gain electrons to form ions.
Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons. Positively charged cations are formed when atoms lose electrons. Negatively charged anions are formed when atoms gain electrons. Ionic bond is the force of attraction between cations and anions.
