What do the electrons of one bond do to the electrons of the other?

Assuming you mean the bonds around a central atom attaching it to other atoms. The electron pairs in one bond (or lone pair) repel the electrons in the other bonds (this is due to Pauli exclusion principle). This is the basis for VSEPR theory (Gillespie- Nyholm theory)

What kind of bond is formed when one atom looses electrons and the other gains electrons?
An ionic bond is formed.
How many carbon atoms can bond to a single hydrogen atom?
Atoms of elements have a fixed number of electrons that can bond with other atoms. Carbon has 4 electrons that can bond with other atoms. So 4 hydrogen atoms can bond with one carbon atom.
When one atom has a stronger attraction for shared electrons in a bond than the other atom a----------------- bond is?
The missing word is 'ionic'.
A chemical bond with unequal electrons?
A chemical bond with unequal sharing of electrons is called a covalent bond. This results to a slightly negative charge on one end and a slightly positive charge on the other end.
What bond occurs between atoms that do not share electrons equally?
Atoms that do not easily lose electrons form covalent bonds with other atoms. That is, they share electrons.
When an atom forms a bond what are the 3 things that its electrons can do?
The electrons can be shared equally (covalent bond). The electrons can be shared but one atom provides those electrons and the other provides none (dative or coordinate covalent bond). The electrons can be donated by one and accepted by the other atom (ionic bond).
What kind of bond is formed when one atom looses electrons and the other gains electrons?
An ionic bond is formed.
When one atom has a stronger attraction for shared electrons in a bond than the other atom?
If one atom exerts a stronger pull on the electrons than the other, then we have a polar bond.
What term is used to describe a bond formed when one atom gains electrons while the other atom loses electrons?
A type of bond in which one atom gains electrons and one atom loses electrons is an ionic bond.
What happens in an ionic bond?
One atom has lost electrons . And the other atom has gained electrons.
Why tin fluoride is ionic while tin chloride is covalent?
An ionic bond is where electrons are transferred from one to the other, but a covalent bond is where the electrons are 'shared'.
What is a coavalent bond?
A bond where electrons are shared between atoms. These atoms usually have similar electronegativities, so one atom doesn't take all of the electrons from the other. The opposite of covalent would be ionic, where one atom does take electrons from the other.
What happens when one or more valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another?
This is the loaning (by one atom) and the borrowing (by another atom) of a valence electron or electrons that creates a chemical bond. This type of bond is the ionic bond where one atom loans (or gives up) and the other borrows (or takes) an electron or electrons. In the other bond type, the covalent bond, the two atoms involved share electrons.
What do you call a bond that forms when electrons are transferred from one atom to another?
ionic bond
How many carbon atoms can bond to a single hydrogen atom?
Atoms of elements have a fixed number of electrons that can bond with other atoms. Carbon has 4 electrons that can bond with other atoms. So 4 hydrogen atoms can bond with one carbon atom.
What is thedifferents between ionic bond and covalent bond?
In an ionic bond one atom completely pulls one or more electrons away from another, forming positive and negative ions that are attracted by their opposite charges. In a covalent bond two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons, neither one of the atoms completely pulls these electrons away from the other.
When one atom has a stronger attraction for shared electrons in a bond than the other atom a----------------- bond is?
The missing word is 'ionic'.
