When 2 atoms of the same nonmetal element react they form what?
You think probable to diatomic molecules but these are not formed by a reaction.
What atoms do not easily react with or form bonds with other atoms?
Atoms of elements in group 18 (noble gases) do not easily combine with other elements to form compounds.
What is the role of electrons in the formation of covalent bonds?
The outer shell electrons of the atom form covalent bonds.
How do you predict the type of bond between two atoms?
Some general rules are:- the difference between the electronegativities of two atoms is over 2: ionic bond- the difference between the electronegativities of two atoms is in the range 0 -2: covalent bond- the difference between the electronegativities of two atoms is approx. zero: polar covalent bond
What happens When metals react with other elements the atoms of the metal?
it basiclly has sex and gets high
When two atoms of the same nonmetal react the often form an?
Diatom via a covalent bond
When 2 atoms of the same nonmetal element react they form what?
You think probable to diatomic molecules but these are not formed by a reaction.
Which pair of atoms will form an ionic bond apex?
metal and nonmetal
Sodium metal can react with the nonmetal chlorine to form what?
NaCl, which is table salt.
When atoms react they form a chemical bond which is defined?
atoms
What elements do nonmetals react with?
Nonmetals may react with metal to form ionic compounds (salts) or other nonmetal elements to form organic compounds.
What type of atoms form a covalent bond?
Nonmetal atom create covalent bond
What do atoms do when they react with other atoms?
They form a molecule by the intermediate of chemical bonds.
Why do atoms react with one another and form chemical bonds?
Atoms react with one another in order to become stable.
What is the basic rule for predicting how the ions of a metal and a nonmetal will react to form a compound?
This depends on the value of electronegativity.
Why do nonmetal atoms form anions when they react to form compounds?
This happens when nonmetals react with metals. It is easier to gain 2 or 3 electrons than to lose 5 or 6 from their valence shell anion - negatively charged
Because carbon has four electrons in its outer energy level it can do what?
it can react with up to four other atoms to form covalent bonds(:
