What if a large atom bonds with a small atom will the new moecule be the same as a large atom?

Then the large atom bonds with the smaller one, because that's what bond formation is about. It is reversibly true

When an atom bonds the atom joins a 2nd atom to become a what?
a compound.
What is the largest between a molecule and a atom?
Moelcules are made from atoms but a large atom is very many times the size of small molecules.
Shifting of electrons in an atom do what?
Bonds, radiation...
How many single bonds can extend from one carbon atom?
four single bonds
Is a central atom with two bonds a linear shape?
It depends on the hybridization of the central atom.
What accounts for hydrogen bonds for its extraordinary strength?
Bonds that make-up hydrogen bonds are polar, and therefore, very strong. This gives the hydrogen atom a positive charge that is almost half as large as that of a proton. The small size of the hydrogen atom allows the atom to come very close to unshared pair of electrons on an adjacent molecule.
Is an atom large?
An atom is very small the human eye can not see an atom that is what makes it small.

Hydrogen bonds form?
When the atom hydrogen bonds directly to a small atom with a high electronegativity such as nitrogen, oxygen and fluorine. The Hydrogen atom then has a slightly positive charge and the other atom a slightly negative charge. This causes forces of attraction between molecules which is known as hydrogen bonding.
What are O-H Bonds?
Covalent bonds between a hydrogen atom and an oxygen atom.
Compare a very large and a small atom in the large atom the outermost electron is farther away from the nucleus?
yes, if by larger you mean size/volume.
When an atom bonds the atom joins a 2nd atom to become a what?
a compound.
One reason that carbon atoms form large numbers of compounds is that a carbon atom forms?
One reason that carbon atoms can form large numbers of compounds is that a carbon atom forms four bonds in its compounds.
What happens when a hydrogen atom covalently bonds to one oxygen or nitrogen atom is attracted to another oxygen or nitrogen atom?
hyrdrogen bonds.
What is the fundamental difference between covalent and ionic bonding?
The nature of the elements in the bond. Elements with a high difference in electronegativity have ionic bonds, elements with a small difference have nonpolar covalent bonds, and elements with no difference (if an atom binds to an atom of the same element) have nonpolar covalent bonds. The more electronegative eleme
What is the atom as having a small positively charged nucleus surrounded by large region where there are enough electrons to make the atom neutral?
No because the electron are small and don't have enough of energy to make atom neutral
What is the Lewis structure of an atom?
There is none because there are no bonds in an atom.
