Can chemical bonds be produced by losing electrons losing nuetrons transferring electrons sharing electrons or gaining electrons?
Chemical bonds can be only produced by gaining, losing or sharing electrons. If a compound is formed by losing or gaining electrons, it is called an ionic bond and if by sharing electrons, it is called a covalent bond.
How does an object become electrically charge?
by gaining or losing electrons.
How does an atom acquire a change?
An atom acquires a charge by losing or gaining electrons.
What is a chemical bond formed by atoms losing or gaining electrons?
metallic bond
What is the charge in a phosphorus ion gaining or losing electrons?
Common valences are 5 or 3.
What is an atom called that has a positive and negative charge as a result of gaining or losing electrons?
Atoms with a charge are called ions.
How does an object becomes charged?
An object becomes positively charged if it loses electrons. This is because electrons have a negative charge, so the less of them there are in an object, the stronger the positive charge is.
What is the process of losing or gaining electrons to become stable?
The process of losing or gaining electrons to become stable is called ionization.
What is a chemical bond formed by atoms losing or gaining electrons called?
This chemical bonding is called ionic bonding.
How does an atom achieve a positive charge?
by loosing one or more electrons then it is an ion
What type of ions positive or negavie are formed by losing electrons?
Positively charged ions are formed by losing electrons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons are equal. If an atom loses an electron, it then contains one more proton than electrons. Since protons have a positive charge, the atom becomes an ion with a 1+ charge.
An atom becomes an ion by losing or gaining what?
electrons
