iconic bonds
What else can I help you with?
What two atoms would typically would form a covalent bond?
2 nonmetals would form a covalent bond. Nonmetals are on the right side of the Periodic Table (except for hydrogen).
The atoms in one group can form compounds with the atoms in the other group but not with atoms in their own group which atoms are in each group?
Metals can form ionic bonds with non-metals. Non-metals can form bonds with each other covalently. Two metals cannot form compounds with each other.AnswerIf you mean group x can form compounds with group y but not with atoms in group x. Then group x is the metals and group y is the non-metals.The question is a little confusing as group one and group two mean somthing in chemistry. The chemistry generally group one and two is used to refer to two different types of metals called the alkali metalg and the alkaline earths. They are in these groups on the periodic table.
Covalent compounds form between?
Covalent compounds form between nonmetals by sharing electron pairs to achieve a stable electron configuration. This sharing of electrons allows both atoms to fill their outer electron shells and form a stable molecule.
Do you expect ionic compounds to form between two non metals?
No, ionic compounds typically form between a metal and a nonmetal. When two nonmetals combine, they are more likely to form covalent compounds, where electrons are shared between atoms rather than transferred.
Which characterizas the bond formed between two indentical atoms?
Depends. Metal atoms form metallic bonds. nonmetals form nonpolar covalent bonds.
Do atoms of nonmetals usually lose electrons when they combine with other atoms?
No, atoms of nonmetals usually gain electrons when they combine with other atoms. Nonmetals have a tendency to attract electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, typically by forming covalent bonds with other nonmetals or by gaining electrons to form anions.
What atoms generally form covalent bonds?
Covalent bonds form between non-metal molecules. Covalent bonds come in 2 kinds: polar and nonpolar. If the two atoms bonding have an electronegativity difference of less than .5, then the bond is usually considered nonpolar covalent. If the difference is greater than .5 but less than 2 the bond is usually considered polar covalent.
Do atoms of nonmetals lose protons when they form ionic bonds?
No, atoms of nonmetals do not lose protons when they form ionic bonds. Nonmetals tend to gain electrons to achieve a full outer shell, becoming negatively charged ions (anions) in ionic bonds.
What happens when two nonmetals atoms are bonded together?
valence
What elements commonly form covalent bonds?
Only nonmetals can form covalent bonds. Mainly because in a covalent bond the atoms are sharing electrons, as in an ionic bond the two atoms are taking electrons.
What two atoms make up a covalent bond?
Two atoms, typically nonmetals, share electrons to form a covalent bond. These atoms can be the same element or different elements, but they share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
What do atoms of two nonmetals usually form?
They often form a diatomic molecule.
