The electrons are shared between the two chemicals. Each chemical (element) wants a stable octet, so you must make sure both chemicals in the compound have eight valence electrons. Each chemical is connected by a line (bond) which represents two electrons, and you must draw the remaining electrons needed as either lone pairs or more bonds. You determine how many electrons you need in the entire diagram by finding the number of valence electrons for the first chemical and adding it to the number of valence electrons for the second chemical, and so on. If there is a sub number next to the chemical, you need to multiply the number of electrons for that one element times the sub number before adding it to the number of valence electrons for the other chemicals. You must make sure that your diagram has that number of dots/lines in it exactly, no more or no less.

What happens to the valance electrons when two nonmetal atoms bond?
Generally a covalent bond is formed by the sharing of the electrons.
What happens to an electron when ionic bond forms?
Electrons are transferred from one element to another. when electrons are shared this is a covalent bond.
What happens to atoms once a bond is made?
It depends on which type of bond. If it is a covalent bond they will share electrons, and if its an ionic bond the atom with the lesser amount of electrons will transfer them to the other atom.
What happens to the valence electrons in a covalent bond?
alot of chet
What happens with electrons in a non polar covalent bond?
Electrons are shared equally by two atoms.
What happens to electrons after a covalent bond is formed?
The electrons are shared
What happens to the valance electrons when two nonmetal atoms bond?
Generally a covalent bond is formed by the sharing of the electrons.
What happens to the electrons in a polar bond?
all in + sd
What happens to an electron when ionic bond forms?
Electrons are transferred from one element to another. when electrons are shared this is a covalent bond.
What happens when 1 pair of electrons are shared?
When one pair of electrons is shared, a single covalent bond exists. This bond can be either polar or nonpolar. If the electrons are equally shared, the bond is nonpolar. If the electrons are unequally shared, the bond is polar.
What happens to atoms once a bond is made?
It depends on which type of bond. If it is a covalent bond they will share electrons, and if its an ionic bond the atom with the lesser amount of electrons will transfer them to the other atom.
What happens to the valence electrons in a covalent bond?
alot of chet
What happens with electrons in a molecular compound?
depends on whether you are taking about a covalent bond or an ionic bond
What happens with electrons in a non polar covalent bond?
Electrons are shared equally by two atoms.
When two or more atoms bond and share electrons what do they form a compound?
A new form of chemicals
What happens to electrons when elements combine?
The electrons get shared between the two elements, from the covalent bonds.
What happens in an ionic bond?
One atom has lost electrons . And the other atom has gained electrons.
