What else can I help you with?
What do you call neutrally charged combinations of atoms?
The name of this combination is - molecule.
What is created when two or more atoms bond together?
A molecule is created when two or more atoms bond together. This bonding can be either through sharing of electrons (covalent bond) or transfer of electrons (ionic bond).
Is the smallest neutral unit of two or more atoms held together by a covalent bond?
The smallest neutral unit of two or more atoms held together by a covalent bond is called a molecule. In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming a molecule with a distinct set of atoms bonded together.
Why does forming bonds release energy?
Forming bonds releases energy because when atoms come together to form a bond, they are able to achieve a more stable and lower energy state than when they are separate. This release of energy is due to the attraction between the positively charged nuclei and the negatively charged electrons in the bond, which results in a more stable configuration for the atoms involved.
What is the relationship between atoms in a ionic bond?
Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bonding that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. These ions represent atoms that have lost one or more electron (known as cations) and atoms that have gained one or more electrons (known as an anions). In the simplest case, the cation is a metal atom and the anion is a nonmetal atom.
When two or more atoms bond together and share electrons they form what?
Two or more atoms that get together and share electrons form a chemical bond.
When two or more atoms bond together and share electrons they form a?
covalent bond
In covalent bond the atoms are held together by?
In a covalent bond, atoms are held together by the sharing of electron pairs between them. This sharing of electrons creates a stable configuration for both atoms, allowing them to achieve a more favorable energy state.
Forces that hold atoms together are called?
They are chemical bonds varying in strength. The strong nuclear force holds atoms together. Electro-static forces hold molecules together. (The positive and negative forces of the electrons and protons create an attraction that keep the atom together.)
What does bonds mean in chemistry?
A chemical bond refers to two or more of the same or different atoms coming together. A bond could be covalent (between two or more non-metals e.g. Cl2 or CH4/methane), ionic (between a charged metal and charged non-metal e.g. KCl) or metallic (between two or more metals e.g. Tin).
The combination of atoms formed by covalent bonds is called an?
A charged group of covalently bonded atoms is called a polyatomic ion.
When two or more atoms bond together they form a unit called what?
A molecule.
