What else can I help you with?
What happens when atoms of elements combine to form compounds?
It's valence shell (outermost shell of atom) is full and stable.
What is one way atoms fill their outermost energy level?
Atoms can fill their outermost energy level by either gaining electrons from other atoms or by sharing the outermost electrons with another atom.
When atoms combine what do they gain or lose?
When atoms combine to form molecules, they can gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration. This process allows atoms to fill their outermost electron shell and attain a more stable, lower energy state.
What happens when you combine 2 hydrogen atoms with one oxygen to make water?
The combination of the atoms releases heat energy.
What happens to energy when carbon and oxygen atoms combine?
When carbon and oxygen atoms combine to form carbon dioxide, energy is released. This energy comes from the bonds being formed between the atoms during the chemical reaction.
When atoms combine by sharing electrons in the outermost portion of their electron clouds what does it form?
Molecules.
Which family does not easily combine with other atoms?
Noble gases does not easily combine with other elementsbecause they are stable and have complete outermost shell.
What type of shell is the outermost energy shell of an atoms?
Valence
What happens to the outermost levels of metal atoms in a metallic bond?
They OVERLAP
Atoms combine when .?
The conditions meet the criteria of atomic combination.
What happens when atoms combine in new arrangement?
They change
Why do atom combine?
Atoms can combine only if they are having an incomplete valence shell. They combine to attain an octet structure. They can also share electrons. There are some elements whose atoms do not combine, they are the inert gases.
