Family of elements that gain of share three electrons when they react?
nitrogen
When atoms of different elements share electrons they form?
A covalent bond.
Why is it easier for group 14 elements in the periodic table to become stable instead of transferring electrons?
Group-14 elements do not transfer electrons. They share electrons to form covalent bonds.
Do a family of elements share the same number of valence electrons?
Yes they do. Groups/Families tell the number of valence electrons (the number of electrons in the outermost energy level).
What is shared when elements bond covalently?
When elements form covalent bonds, they share electrons with each other. In covalent bonding none of the atoms gains or looses the electrons but share the electrons among them and hence both try to achieve stable electronic configuration.
Who do elements transfer or share to form compounds?
electrons
What do elements with in a family tend to share?
similar chemical properties and characteristics
What are the differences between groups and periods?
Groups consist of elements listed in the same column. These elements share similar chemical properties, such as number of valence electrons. Periods are the rows of elements. These elements do not share chemical properties, as periods are organized by increasing atomic number (number of protons).
What type of bond form when elements share electrons?
covalent bonds
Can atoms of some elements can share three pairs of electrons?
yeap!
Family of elements that gain of share three electrons when they react?
nitrogen
What type of bonds are formed when elements share electrons?
covalent bonds
When atoms of different elements share electrons they form?
A covalent bond.
When calcium loses 2 valence electrons to sulfur is it a covalent bond?
no its an ionic bond(where elements lose or gain electrons) since the bond is between a nonmetal(sulfur) and a metal(calcium). Covalent bond is between two nonmetals that share electrons
Why is it easier for group 14 elements in the periodic table to become stable instead of transferring electrons?
Group-14 elements do not transfer electrons. They share electrons to form covalent bonds.
If Compared to metals and nonmetals how do atoms of semimetals behave when combining with elements of other elements?
They can either lose or share electrons when they combine with other elements. So, depending on the conditions , these elements can behave as either metals or nonmetalss. Durr !
Do a family of elements share the same number of valence electrons?
Yes they do. Groups/Families tell the number of valence electrons (the number of electrons in the outermost energy level).
