It is the valence electrons that are generally involved in bonding.

What is the charge of each atom before forming the ionic bond?

Before the forming of the bond atoms are neutral; after the forming of the bond atoms become cations or anions.

Why a hydrogen atom can become either an ion or a part of a molecule?

Hydrogen only has one proton ,so it can pass that one proton onto another element, making it part of a molecule. It can become an ion if it loses that proton, or gains that proton.


When atoms lose electrons through an ionic bond they become?

Positive ions (or cations) - They are reducers.


Why do atoms take part in bond formation?

Without atoms "bonding" together, there would be no universe. With no universe there would be no Earth. No Earth = No You, and therefore No You = No Question. Atoms bond together to form matter. Without this bond, we simply would not exist.


In a covalent bond can atoms become chemically stable by sharing their valence electrons?

Yes, a covalent bond involve sharing of electrons between two atoms.


When atoms of different elements share electrons they form?

a chemical bond known as a covalent bond. In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration. This sharing of electrons allows atoms to fill their outer electron shells and become more stable.


A bond in which electron pairs are shared between electrons is called what?

A bond in which electron pairs are shared between atoms is called a covalent bond. In a covalent bond, two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This type of bonding is common in molecules and allows atoms to achieve a full outer shell of electrons.


Do atoms always bond to other atoms?

No, not always. Some can exist in what's called a "monatomic state". That is, they exist as a single atom, either due to artificial separation from other atoms, or because they have no need to bond to other atoms. Atoms tend to bond to other atoms to become more stable, but atoms that are already stable tend not to bond. Examples of such are the noble gasses, which rarely bond except through synthesis.
