Ions are held close together by a?
The answer depends on if they are atoms or in an ionic bond. In an ionic bond oppositely charged ion are held together by the electronic force of attraction that exists between oppositely charged particles.
What type of bond holds sodium atoms together?
In sodium metal the atoms are held together by metallic bonds.
How is it possible for calcium hydroxide have both ionic and convalent bond?
The Oxygen and the Hydrogen atoms are held together by Covalent bonds and the Calcium is held together with Ionic bonds.
What type of chemical bond forms when atoms that have gained or lost electrons are held together by magnetic attraction?
an ionic bond forms
Type of bond present in rubidium?
Rubidium is a solid metal so its atoms are held together through Metallic bond which is the hybrid form of covalent and ionic bonds and may be explained by conduction bond.
Is an ionic compound held together by an ionic bond?
Yes.
In covalent bond the atoms are held together by?
The atoms are held together by the mutual sharing of electrons between two atoms in a covalent bond.
What is the force that holds compounds together?
Anions and cations are held together by ionic bonds. Metal atoms are held together by metallic bonds. Nonmetals are held together by covalent bonds.
What is an example of a substance held together with ionic bonds?
Most organic matter are held together by covalent bonds. However, a bond shared by two atoms and have different electronegative's, such as a molecule of table salt, are usually ionic.
How are atoms held together in molecules?
Various things. If it is a nonmetal and nonmetal it going to be a covalent bond. If it is a metal and nonmetal it is going to be an ionic bond. If it is a metal and metal then it is a metallic bond.
How do the atoms in a water molecule stick together?
Atoms are held together by bonds. There are different kinds of bonds depending on the atoms involved, such as ionic, covalent, and hydrogen bonds.
