What is an atom with too few Electrons?
Electronegative.
What is important about the number of electrons in the outside surface of an atom?
It keeps the atom at a constant charge. Too little electrons means the atom is positively charged, while too many means the atom is negatively charged.
A molecule results from?
A molecule results from the coupling of two or more atoms who share a valence electrons, this is called a covalent bond. Electrons circle around the nucleus of an atom in concentric orbits that allow only so many electrons per orbit. The outermost orbit sometimes is incomplete as it has too few electrons. This would cause the atom to have a charge and then become attracted to another atom of opposite charge that would allow the atom the share an electron and allow both atoms to have a neutral net charge. This is what occurs in the bond of hydrogen and oxygen in water.
Why does an atom have to be neutral?
It would otherwise be an ion, which is just like an atom in all regards except it is missing electrons or has extras. An ion always tries to get rid of extras or gain when it has too few, because that is just how things are: it is positive and attracts negatives when it has too few, or is negative and has less attraction than one that is positive to its own electrons when it has too many.
Fluorine does not form oxiacids- why?
Fluorine is too strongly electronegative to donate electrons to any other atom.
What is an atom with too few Electrons?
Electronegative.
What happens when there are too many electrons?
If there are excess electrons in an atom, the atom is likely to be ionized; that is, the stom will emit the electrons.
How do atom form chemical bond?
Around the nucleus of atoms circulate electrons. They are in shells. The electrons in empty shells are called valence shells. Now, if a shell isn't full, only partly, an atom will want to fill it. Hence, it will connect with an atom with too many electrons. Nature in general abhors energy and will always try to minimize it. It is energetically favorable for atoms with too many electrons to bond with atoms with too few in the valence orbit/shell. Sometimes it is more energetically favorable to share electrons. This type of bond is a covalent bond.

When atoms bond do they loose or gain electronss?
Both. Atoms bond because one atom has extra electrons and another atom has too few so they meet up and balance out
Having too many or too few electrons?
Too many or too few electrons creates an ion. The standard definition of an ion is any element whose charge is nonzero and there are two types: anion and cation. A cation will have a positive charge, and thus fewer electrons than normal, and an anion will have a negative charge, and thus more electrons than normal.
What happens when there are too few electrons?
All the atoms in the universe have a tendency to become stable by having 2 or 8 electrons in their outermost cells. So, if an atom has very few electrons i.e 1,2,3 or 4 electrons in it's outermost cell it will tend to loose electrons in order to become stable. hope it helps!
What is having too many electrons or too few electrons?
I have this question too.... but i have no idea what the answer is sorryyy :*
What causes an atom to be stable and unstable?
If an atom has more protons then electrons the atom will have a negative charge.If the atom has more electrons then protons the atom will have a positive charge.If the atom has equal numbers of electrons and protons then the atom becomes neutral.However if you're wondering why an atom is stable then that means that it has all the electrons inside of it paired. If the atom is unstable it has unpaired electrons.
