What types of ions do noble gases tend to form?
They don't form any ion.
Are atoms of nonmetals among the largest atoms?
Atoms of nonmetals tend to be smaller than atoms of metals in the same period.
Why does the elements of family 18 do not tend to form chemical reactions?
Because all the atoms of these elements in Family 18 have filled outermost energy levels.
Do atoms of copper and iron generally form stable bonds with transition elements?
Yes, atoms of copper and iron can generally form stable bonds with transition elements. Copper and iron are both transition elements themselves and can form stable bonds with other transition elements. The stability of the bonds will depend on factors such as the electronegativity and bonding properties of the specific elements involved.
What happens when atoms lose their valence electrons?
When metals lose their valence electrons they form positive ions, or cations.
What bonds does carbon atoms tend to form?
Carbon will almost always form bonds with other carbon atoms, and that is part of what makes it such a useful element.
Carbon atoms tend to form what bonds?
Carbons almost always form covalent bonds.
When atoms of elements on the left side of the periodic table ionize they tend to?
They tend to loose electron. They form cations.
Why do elements tend to form compounds?
it tells how many atoms are in the unit to be stable
Do atoms with low electronegativity values tend to form positive ions?
yes
Why do atoms form convalent and not ionic bonds?
The difference in electronegativity determines the type of chemical bonding between atoms. Metals and nonmetals often have a large difference in electronegativity, and tend to form ionic bonds, while nonmetals bonded to nonmetals tend to have smaller electronegativities and tend to form covalent bonds.
What types of ions do noble gases tend to form?
They don't form any ion.
When forming ionic bonds atoms of elements in group VI tend to form ions with who?
They can form ionic compounds with halogens.
Atoms of metals do what with electrons to become stable while atoms nonmetals tend to do what to electrons to become stable?
Choices: a) eject, retain B) lose, gain c) retain,gain d) gain, lose e) lose, retain
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
Do atoms whose outer elecron shells contain eight electrons tend to form ionic bonds in aqueous solutions?
Atoms with outer electron shells that contain 8 electrons tend to be stable and chemically in reactive, or inert.
What are two types of moltimeter?
The original types of multimeter were of analogpresentation.But modern ones tend to present their measurements in digital form.
