Family of elements that gain of share three electrons when they react?
nitrogen
When atoms of different elements share electrons they form?
A covalent bond.
Why is it easier for group 14 elements in the periodic table to become stable instead of transferring electrons?
Group-14 elements do not transfer electrons. They share electrons to form covalent bonds.
Do a family of elements share the same number of valence electrons?
Yes they do. Groups/Families tell the number of valence electrons (the number of electrons in the outermost energy level).
What is shared when elements bond covalently?
When elements form covalent bonds, they share electrons with each other. In covalent bonding none of the atoms gains or looses the electrons but share the electrons among them and hence both try to achieve stable electronic configuration.
Who do elements transfer or share to form compounds?
electrons
Is it true that Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons but rather share electrons?
yes
What do elements with in a family tend to share?
similar chemical properties and characteristics
Do Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons?
Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons, but rather share electrons.
What type of bond form when elements share electrons?
covalent bonds
Can atoms of some elements can share three pairs of electrons?
yeap!
What type of bonds are formed when elements share electrons?
covalent bonds
Family of elements that gain of share three electrons when they react?
nitrogen
When atoms of different elements share electrons they form?
A covalent bond.
Why is it easier for group 14 elements in the periodic table to become stable instead of transferring electrons?
Group-14 elements do not transfer electrons. They share electrons to form covalent bonds.
If Compared to metals and nonmetals how do atoms of semimetals behave when combining with elements of other elements?
They can either lose or share electrons when they combine with other elements. So, depending on the conditions , these elements can behave as either metals or nonmetalss. Durr !
Do a family of elements share the same number of valence electrons?
Yes they do. Groups/Families tell the number of valence electrons (the number of electrons in the outermost energy level).
