Ionic bonds form from what electrons?
by the transfer of the valence electrons
What bonds form atoms gaining or giving up electrons?
Ionic bonds
What are bonds that form by atoms gaining or giving up electrons?
Ionic bonds
Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons and ionic bonds are formed when positive and negative ions bond to form an ionic compound.?
Ionic - electron transfer Covalent - electron share (co - share)
Do metals gain electrons in ionic bonds?
No. In ionic bonds metals give away electrons.
Are electrons shared or transfered between a ionic bond?
To form ionic bonds, electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
How many valence electrons are in a fluorine atom Will fluorine atoms form bonds Explain?
Fluorine has seven electrons. Fluorine will form covalent and ionic bonds. Ionic- If it combines with any metal Covalent- If it bonds with a non-metal
How many valence electrons in a fluorine atom will fluorine atoms form bonds Explain.?
Fluorine has seven electrons. Fluorine will form covalent and ionic bonds. Ionic- If it combines with any metal Covalent- If it bonds with a non-metal
Why does sulfur gain electrons when forming ionic bonds?
because nonmetals gain electrons in ionic bonds and metals lose electrons in ionic bonds(oxidize).
What kind of bonds form when atoms steal electrons?
This is an ionic bond.
What kind of bonds form ions?
Ionic bonds form ions. Ionic bonds are bonds between a metal and a non-metal(anion and cation) where each wil transfer electrons with each other.
Why carbon atoms cannot form ionic bonds in its compounds?
carbon atoms cannot form ionic bonds because it can neither gain or loose electrons as it has 4 electrons in its valence shell.so it share its electrons which forms covalent bond.
