What bond occurs between atoms that do not share electrons equally?
Atoms that do not easily lose electrons form covalent bonds with other atoms. That is, they share electrons.
How does a cation form?
Cations form when atoms lose electrons, they gain a positive charge as a result.
What chemical bond occurs when atoms lose gain or share electrons?
When atoms lose and gain electrons, an ionic bond will form. When atoms share electrons, a covalent bond will form.
Why do you think atoms lose electrons to or gain electrons from other atoms?
to become stable
When atoms combine what do they gain or lose?
They gain or lose electrons, while the atoms combine.
Do atoms of most metals lose electrons easily?
No
What atoms tend to gain two electrons to form a anion?
se and sometimes gain electrons. Atoms with eight valence electrons do not easily lose electrons
What bond occurs between atoms that do not share electrons equally?
Atoms that do not easily lose electrons form covalent bonds with other atoms. That is, they share electrons.
What atoms tend to gain two electrons to form a 2- anion?
se and sometimes gain electrons. Atoms with eight valence electrons do not easily lose electrons
What type of bonding occurs between atoms that don't easily lose electrons?
Covalent bonding
When atoms that do not easily lose electrons form what?
You didn't quite manage to phrase a coherent question.
Why can an atom lose electrons easily?
Atoms do not always lose electrons. Electrons can be gained too. Atoms always try to have their outer most shell filled, and some atoms such as ones of potassium can easily lose an electron rather than gain an electron. So it would lose an electron to a different atom so that it would have a full outer shell and the other atom would also have a full outer shell.
Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
No. Atoms can gain and lose electrons but seldom gain or lose protons.
Are radioactive isotopes produced when atoms lose electrons?
When atoms lose electrons cations are produced.
When atoms lose or gain electrons they from?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
What kind of atoms tend to lose atoms?
Metals lose electrons.
Which of the following statements are true about whether atoms tend to gain or lose electrons?
Atoms with eight valence electrons usually do not gain or lose electrons. Atoms with one, two, or three valence electrons will lose electrons.
