What compounds can act as both an electron donor and electron acceptor?
The answer is acids.... "acids are most broadly defined as compounds that are electron pair acceptors."
Does bromine lose or share electrons in compounds?
Both. Bromine gains one electron in ionic compounds. Bromine will share electron in covalent compounds.
What type of compounds form by electron sharing?
These are the covalent compounds.
What is the electron behavior for metallic bond?
electron sea
How many compounds are in gold?
gold is a pure substance = no compounds - Au
Does the element gold has compounds?
It has metallic compounds (metal-metal), and it will also combine with nearly anything that can gain an electron (polyatomic ions, non-metals). It doesn't react very well or often due to its electronegativity.
How does the behavior of the electrons in block of gold differ from the behavior in a block of salt?
gold (Ag) is a pure element, so the electrons just orbit the nucleus in the electron cloud. But salt is a compound of sodium plus chloride (NaCl). these elements are bonded together in an Ionic bond, so Sodium (Na) loses an electron, and that electron is transferred to chloride (Cl), this way both elements have 8 valence electrons. In short, gold's electrons orbit the nucleus, and in salt, sodium gives an electron to chloride so they can both have 8 valence electrons.
What are the common compounds gold forms?
Gold does not form compounds very readily. Most known gold compounds are Gold oxide, chloride, thiosulphate double: Gold potassium cyanide, gold ammonium sulphite. The compounds decompose very readily at low temperatures.
What compounds are gold in?
There is gold oxide, Au2O3 But gold usually does not form compounds
What compounds is gold made of?
Gold is an element, not a compond. It is not made of anything, although many compounds are made from gold.
What are compounds that contain the element gold?
Compounds of Gold are often called Auric compounds and for a list see the related link.
What are organisms called that use organic compounds as electron donors in cellular respiration?
Lithotrophs are organisms that use inorganic compounds as electron donors in cellular respiration.
