What does an element that forms an anion do?
When the element bonds with another element it accepts electrons (it does not give them away) and becomes negatively charged.
Why doesn't helium combine with other elements?
The element, Helium (He) is one of the "Noble Gas" elements. They are by definition, Inert. Its Valence Electron Shell is full, and it has no 'desire' to combine with another.
Does sodium combine with another element to make another?
Sodium can be combined with the majority of other elements to form compounds; another chemical element cannot be obtained by chemical reactions.
What elements combine to produce carbon in an organic compound?
No elements combine to produce carbon. Carbon is an element in and of itself.
How do two elements combine together?
It would form a compund. For example, the most famous coumpoud is H2O. This compound is made out of two Hydrogen molecules and one oxygen.
Why are electrons in the outermost shell are important?
Because they determine how the element will combine with other elements
How and why element combine?
elements combine to attain more stability, generally by attaining the electronic configuration of the nearest noble gases. they do so by donating electrons, accepting electrons or by sharing electrons
How does the elements reacts to each other?
An element reacts with another element by sharing electrons. The elements keep sharing electrons until both elements have a full outer shell.
What part of an element determines its ability to combine with other elements?
The number of valence electrons an element atom contains will determine its chemical properties.
How do you find valency?
The valency of an element measures its ability to combine with other elements. This valency is determined by the number of electrons in the outer shell of each atom of an element.
How element combine?
elements combine because no body noes :DBecause elements become ions then combine
What does an element that forms an anion do?
When the element bonds with another element it accepts electrons (it does not give them away) and becomes negatively charged.
What element does neon tend to join with?
Neon, an element, is a noble gas and is stable as it has it correct number of electrons in its outermost shell (8). It does not combine readily with other elements.
Why doesn't helium combine with other elements?
The element, Helium (He) is one of the "Noble Gas" elements. They are by definition, Inert. Its Valence Electron Shell is full, and it has no 'desire' to combine with another.
Does sodium combine with another element to make another?
Sodium can be combined with the majority of other elements to form compounds; another chemical element cannot be obtained by chemical reactions.
When elements form compounds what do the elements do?
When an element enters into a compound, a chemical reaction occurs. This means that the elements chemically combine and sub-atomic particles transfer between the elements involved. An Example of a Compound: Sodium Chloride (Table Salt): Sodium + Chlorine --> Sodium Chloride
What part of an atom can move to another object?
When an atom of one element is brought in contact with an atom of another element, electrons get transferred from one element to another. However, if the atoms of same element come together then electrons are shared and not transferred. Exception to this is elements in noble gases.
