What Is formed when electrons are shared by two atoms?
A covalent bond is formed. As opposed to an Ionic bond where electrons are transferred between the two.
An atom having a net electrical charge is?
Atoms are always without charge because this is the 'ground' state of any atomic element. The number of electrons equals the number of protons, so there is NO net charge. When electrons are gained (eg. by Cl2) or donated (eg. by Na) the compound can be formed by the newly formed ions (Cl- and Na+ will combine to NaCl)
How are monatomic anions formed from atoms in terms of protons and electrons?
Elements form monoatomic anions by gaining an electron.
Is the nuclei of atoms electrically positive?
The nucleus of an atom is positively charged.
What are atoms respective charges?
The nucleolus of an atom is positively charged while it's "shell" (the electron cloud surrounding the protons) are negatively charged.
Which type of bond are electrostatic between oppositely charged atoms?
Ionic bonds
What type of bonds electrostatic attraction between opposite charged atoms?
The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged atoms (ions) is termed an ionic bond
Is a compound formed by two positive elements?
No, two positives are repelling, not attracting. No. Compounds are formed by two or more different elements. An ionic compound is formed by the attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Molecular compounds are formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms, which is called a covalent bond.
What formed an ionic bond?
It is a bond formed by the attraction between two oppositely charged ions. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When atoms of different elements exchange an electron (ie one donates one or more electrons to the other), then an Ionic bond between the atoms is made
How are ions joined to form ionic compound?
ions are formed by the transfer of electrons. Cations are formed when atoms lose electrons, anions are formed when atoms gain electrons. Ionic bond is the electrostatic force of attraction between the oppositely charged ions.
The atoms in salt are held together by?
Electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions.
The formation of an ionic bond involves?
An ionic bond is formed by the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
A compound composed of two oppositely charged atoms is?
A salt
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.
When oppositely charged atoms stick together?
When oppositely charged atoms stick together, they are chemically bonded. Incidentally, when an atom becomes charged it is called an ion, rather than an atom, so the wording of your question is not entirely correct.
What is an ionic condition?
A chemical link between two atoms caused by the electrostatic force between oppositely-charged ions in an ionic compound.
What forms ionic bond?
Ionic bonds are bonds formed by a nonmetal and a metal atom. On the contrary, covalent bonds are molecules formed by two or more nonmetal atoms.
