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 many electrons are in the outermost energy level of an oxygen atom as it shares electrons with hydrogen atoms as part of water molecule?
In water molecules there are 2 atoms of hydrogen of and 1 atom of oxygen present. each hydrogen atom shares 1 electron with the oxygen atom. So the total number of electrons shared with oxygen are 2,total no. of electrons shared by hydrogen is 2 and the total no. of electrons shared by each hydrogen atom is 1.
Which subatomic particle determines reactivity?
Electrons, for chemical reactions
What is it called when electrons flow through a wire?
When electrons flow through a conductor such as a wire, it is called, "Electricity".
The movement of electrons through a conductor is called?
The motion of electrons is called elecricity. Electricity is used to represent the liberated out put by the movement of electrons.
Does h2o share electrons?
Yes, H20 is a covalent compound, therefore it shares electrons when it bonds.
Does CaCl2 represent a compound that primarily shares electrons?
No, the bonding is ionic- electrons are transferred to form ions Ca2+ and Cl-
When the compound donates electrons what does that compound become?
When it donates electrons, the compound is going through a process called "ionic bonding"
What types of compound is water?
Water is an example of a neutral oxide compound, a compound with simple molecular structure. H2O is a covalent compound. We know that covalent compounds don't gain or loose electrons but they share electrons between the atoms.Hydrogen shares one electron that is in its first shell so 2 hydrogen atoms are required to make a covalent bond with oxygen which shares its 2 electrons each with one hydrogen atom. so the reaction is as follows: H . + ++O++ + . H H2O Here "." are the valence electrons of hydrogen and "+" of oxygen. when oxygen and hydrogen shares its valence electrons with that of oxygen the duplet of hydrogen is complete and octet of oxygen is complete.Note that only one electron of oxygen are shared with each atom of hydrogen. Water is a molecular compound consisting of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Bonds are formed in two ways: Gain or lose an electron from the valence shell; called an ionic attraction. Share one or more electrons in the valence shell; called a covalent bond.
When the number of electrons an atom gains loses or shares is called its?
I suppose that you think to ions.
When the atom of a compound shares electrons it is?
An atom in a compound sharing electrons with another atom or atoms is participating in a bond or could be said to be bonded, or bound. In somewhat simplistic terms it would be considered a covalent bond; in reality, bonds of this kind are on a continuous scale with an ionic-like bond at one end and a covalent at the other, wherein the more it shares electrons the more it is characterized as covalent.
Can a compound be formed by sharing electrons?
Yes. Compounds formed by sharing electrons are called covalent compounds.
What type of bond is ionic and covalent bond?
IONIC BOND: The compound formed by completely transporting an electron or a number of electrons is called an ionic compound, and the bond between the elements of the compound is called the ionic bond. EXAMPLE: NaCl is an ionic compound in which the Na atom donates 1 electron to Cl atom to attain stability and thereby to form the compound NaCl. In ionic bond, generally the metals are the electron donors and the nonmetals are the electron acceptors COVALENT BOND: The bond formed by sharing pair(s) of electrons is called covalent bond. In this type of compound, each of the atom shares equal no. of electrons in order to attain stability. A covalent bond can be of three types: single covalent bond, where 1 pair of electrons is shared between the atoms; double covalent bonds, where 2 pairs of electrons are shared; and triple covalent bond, where 3 pairs of electrons are shared.EXAMPLE:N2 molecule is formed by sharing of 3 pairs of electrons, thereby forming a N-N triple bond
Does ionic compound or molecular compound share electrons?
covalent compound is formed by the sharing of electrons whereas ionic compound is formed by the transfer of electrons.
Is Shares Electrons a ionic or a covalent compounds?
"Shares electrons" is a characteristic of covalent bonds, which form covalent compounds.
A measure of the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to attract electrons from another atom in the compound is called what?
Conductivity
What are the binary compound?
a compound that shares elements with others and is neutral
