What else can I help you with?
When a chlorine atom gains an electron and a sodium atom an electron.what type of bond is this?
This type of bond is an ionic bond. In an ionic bond, one atom will lose an electron (becoming a positive ion) and another atom will gain that electron (becoming a negative ion). This creates an attraction between the two ions, forming a bond.
How does ionic bonds form?
Ionic bonds are formed when atoms lose or gain electrons in order to have a full outer shell of electrons to make them stable.One atom pulls an electron from another atom.
What is the name of electrons in the outermost shell that an atom can gain lose or share with another atom?
A Fluorine atom has an atomic number of 9. Draw out the electron shell diagram for Fluorine. Is a Fluorine atom more likely to gain, lose or share electrons to fill its valence shell?
What type of ion forms when atom lose electrons?
Losing an ion creates a positive charge. This forms a positive ion.
What is the name of electrons in the outer most shell that an atom can gain lose or share with another atom?
Electrons in the outer most shell are called Valence Electrons.
When a potassium atom reacts with a bromine atom the potassium atom will?
lose only one electron
What particle of an Atom determines how the Atom will bond with another Atom?
The particle of an atom that determines how it will bond with another atom is the electron, specifically the valence electrons. These are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom and are responsible for chemical bonding. Atoms can share, gain, or lose valence electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, leading to the formation of covalent, ionic, or metallic bonds.
Do charges in an electric circuit flow because of a difference in electrical potential energy?
Yes, charges in an electric circuit flow from areas of higher electrical potential energy to areas of lower electrical potential energy. This creates a potential difference that drives the flow of charges through the circuit.
Could an atom ever lose a electron without another atom gaining one?
Yes. An atom can lose an electron without another atom gaining one. It happens quite frequently in atom smashers. Scientists strip off all the electrons and crash the nucleus of one atom into other atoms. And they even get paid to do it!
What does an atom lose electrons to?
An atom can lose electrons to other atoms during a chemical reaction. This process results in the atom becoming positively charged, forming an ion.
An atom does not easily lose or gain electrons if it has?
A full outer electron shell. Atoms tend to be more stable when they have a full valence shell, which typically contains eight electrons. This stability makes it less likely for the atom to either lose or gain electrons.
How does an ionic bond forms?
Ionic bonds are formed when atoms lose or gain electrons in order to have a full outer shell of electrons to make them stable.One atom pulls an electron from another atom.
