What are chemical bonds that steal electrons?
Ionic bond; ionic bonds occur when an element, mainly a metal, loses its electron ( to become positively charged) to an other element, mainly a nonmetal, ( to become negatively charged), to form an ionic compound. For example :- Na + Cl = NaCl
What two elements for example a metal and nonmetal where one gains an electron and the other looses an electron?
for example: metal-potassium nonmetal-fluorine
What is the purpose of electron in an element?
In an atom the electrons are floating around the nucleus in what is called orbitals according the modern Quantum Mechanical Model of the atom. The electrons in an elements are used for bonding with other elements. Ex 1: In an ionic compound (bond between metal & non-metal) The metal donates its electrons to the non-metal to create an ionic bond. (NaCl, table salt) Ex 2: In a molecular compound (bond between two non-metals) The two non-metals share the electrons between each element creating what is called a covalent bond. (C12H22O11, table sugar)
Which chemical acts as both metal and non-metal?
Hydrogen is unique in that it's atoms have a single proton, and typically, a single electron. When hydrogen undergoes a reaction with a metal, it will gain another electron. This makes two in its only energy level, which is therefore its valence shell as well. Hydrogen (an exception to the octet rule) is satisfied with only two electrons in its valence shell, and acts like a non-metal in this fashion. Alternatively, hydrogen can also lose it's only electron. This happens, usually, when it reacts with a non-metal. In this case, hydrogen is acting like a metal by giving up it's electron.
What hold together two non metal elements?
Covalent Bonds holds two non-metals such as Silicon Oxide. Ionic Bonds holds a metal and a non-metal such as Sodium Chloride.
Can two non metal atoms exchange an electron to form ions?
yes.
Can two non-metal atoms exchange an electron to form ions?
yes it can. yes it can.
What type of bond occurs when two atoms share an electron?
Non-polar covalent bond
Is crcl3 ionic or covalent?
In an ionic compound the metal donates electrons to the non-metal. In a molecular compound the two non-metals will share the electrons. In Chromium(III)Chloride, chromium (metal) donates 1 electron to each of the three chlorines(non-metal), so therefore it is an ionic compound. If you have another question like this one just determine what your elements are; metal or non-metal.
What involves the attraction of two oppositely charged ions?
In Ionic bonding, a metal and non - metal become ions and attract each other. The metal will lose an electron and become positively charged and the non-metal will gain an electron and become negatively charged. As opposite charges attract they form an ionic compound.
What types of atoms make up an ionic compound?
a metal and a non metal, provided the electronegativity difference between the two is more than 1.8
Ionic bonds form between what two types of elemtents?
Ionic bonds form between a metal and a non-metal and involve a share of electrons. Metals have positive charges and non-metals have negative charges (based on their valence electrons) so they are ions. i.e. Magnesium Chloride: Mg2+ + Cl- ----> MgCl2
How is a convalent bond between two atoms created?
In its simplest, a covalent is formed when 2 non-metals (this is not always the case; it could be a metal and a non-metal too, although this is rare) share electrons.
Is water is a moloecule?
Yes, water is a polar molecule. Water consists of one oxygen atom which covalently bonded with two hydrogen molecules. Molecule is formed when two or more non-metal atoms share electrons to achieve octet electron arrangements by forming covalent bond.
Explain three differences between ionic and covalent compounds?
Ionic bonds occur between a metal and non metal; electrons are removed or added between elements; and are good conductors of heat and electricity in water. Covalent bonds occur between two non metals; electrons are shared; and not good condctors
Does sharing electrons between atoms indicates an ionic bond?
An ionic bond is formed when a metal and a non-metal combine by the non-metal transferring electrons to the metal so both can have full valence shells. Covalent bonds are formed when two non-metals "share" electrons between them so each non-metal can maintain a full valence shell.
What element has one valence electron but is not a metal?
There is no non-metal with one valence electron. Every element with 1 valence electron belongs to the alkali metals family
