How is a covalent formed between atoms?
the atoms share electrons
When two different types of atoms share electrons to complete an octet what type of bond is formed?
covalent - which means "sharing of valence electrons"
Is it true that in a covalent bond atoms share electrons?
False
What are charged particles when atoms gain or lose electrons?
An atom that has lost or gained electrons is known generally as an ion. More specifically, an atom that has lost electrons becomes a cation. It has a positive charge. An atom that has gained electrons becomes an anion. An anion has a negative charge.
What are ions and ionic bonds?
Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons. Positively charged cations are formed when atoms lose electrons. Negatively charged anions are formed when atoms gain electrons. Ionic bond is the force of attraction between cations and anions.
How do atoms join to together to make different substances?
There are two different types of bonds when atoms join together. Covalent bonds are formed when atoms "share" electrons. Ionic bonds are formed when an atom gives up its electrons to another to form a bond.
A product of the combination of atoms during chemical reactions?
A chemical compound is formed when atoms combine through a chemical reaction. This combination involves the rearrangement of atoms' electrons, resulting in the formation of new chemical bonds. The resulting product can be a solid, liquid, or gas with distinct properties different from the starting materials.
When electrons are shared between atoms of two different elements what compounds are formed?
Covalent
What is formed when atoms share stabilizing electrons?
Bonds are formed on sharing electrons. Covalent bonds are formed.
What kind of chemical bond is formed when electrons are transferred from atoms to atoms?
A covalent bond is formed when electrons are transferred from atom to atom.
How is a covalent formed between atoms?
the atoms share electrons
When electrons are shared between Atoms what kind of bond is formed?
Covalent bonds and dative (coordinate) bonds are formed are formed by sharing electrons between the bonding atoms.
When different atoms share their utter most electrons?
A covalent (polar or non-polar) bond is formed
When two different types of atoms share electrons to complete an octet what type of bond is formed?
covalent - which means "sharing of valence electrons"
When molecules are formed atoms?
share electrons
Is it true that in a covalent bond atoms share electrons?
False
