Cations donate atoms to form an ionic bond.
Compounds are formed when elements of matter are chemically combined.
The result will have new and different properties.
These are covalent compounds formed by sharing electrons.
Compound is formed by the chemical combination of two or more substances.
Cations are formed by the loss of electrons, anions are formed by the gain of electrons. The force of attraction between cations and anions results in ionic bond.
Cations donate atoms to form an ionic bond.
Compounds are formed when elements of matter are chemically combined.
Hydrogen and helium were formed shortly after the creation of the universe (when the protons and alpha particles combined with electrons). Everything else was formed within the core of stars (by fusion reactions).
Compounds are formed when elements of matter are chemically combined.
Compounds are formed when elements of matter are chemically combined.
Ionic bonding
Elements are formed from atoms. Atoms are formed of protons, neutrons, and electrons (sub-atomic particles).
ions
The result will have new and different properties.
covalent bonds
A compound. Depending on the elements combined, the compound may or may not have the same characteristics as the original elements.
These are covalent compounds formed by sharing electrons.
