Which of the parts of an atom is the lightest part of the atom why?
Depends, but it is probably electron
Is isonic bonding the same as sharing electrons?
No, Covalent bonds are when electrons are shared. An Ionic bond is when an electron is moved from one atom to another. Thus this is not sharing because the first atom is not using it anymore.
What do you call the region of an atom in which electrons move?
The region of an atom in which the electrons move is called the electron shell, or electron cloud.
What the difference between covalent and ionic bonds?
An ionic bond is in which one atom steals at least one electron from another atom in attempt to fill it's electron shell. A covalent bond is whose electrons are shared between atoms
What is the name of the particles that circles the nucleus of an atom?
Electrons are the particles that circle the nucleus of an atom.
Which electrons are shared in molecules?
In metallic bonding, the valence electrons freely 'jump' from atom to atom, forming kind of an electron sea.
When an atom forms a bond what are the 3 things that its electrons can do?
The electrons can be shared equally (covalent bond). The electrons can be shared but one atom provides those electrons and the other provides none (dative or coordinate covalent bond). The electrons can be donated by one and accepted by the other atom (ionic bond).
The attraction of an atom for a pair of shared electrons is called its?
Electronegativity
What does electron negativity tell about an atom?
It tells when an atom is in a bonded pair that it holds the shared pair of electrons closer
What do atoms gain or lose when they bond?
If the chemical bond is ionic, an electron is gained or lost. If it is covalent, the electron is shared equally; if it is polar covalent, the electron is shared unequally. If the bond is intermolecular, no parts of the atom are actually shared, gained, or lost; the atom itself is simply attracted to other atoms.
What is an orbital that has a shared electron?
Shared electrons are found only in outer shells, and this happens when there is a covalent bond formed with another atom.
When the central atom of a molecule has unshared electrons the bond angles will?
When the central atom of a molecule has unshared electron, the bond angles will be less than when all the central atom's electrons are shared.
How many electrons in covalent bonds are attracted to the nucleus of just one atom?
No electrons are "attached" to the nucleus of either atom. In a covalent bond one electron from each atom is shared with the other atom.
How many electrons are shared in a water molecules?
2 electrons are shared in a water molecule. Duuuhhh.
What bond is formed when a pair of electrons is donated to another atom?
The transfer of an electron from one atom to another results in an ionic bond.
Which of the parts of an atom is the lightest part of the atom why?
Depends, but it is probably electron
What is the overall of an atom?
The overall of an atom is a nucleus (protons and neutrons), and 1 or 2 electrons. The rest are for large atoms: an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons.
