Do ionic bonds share electrons?
No, the bond electrons are weighted towards the element with the higher electronegativity, while forming the ionic bond.
Do ionic bonds equally share electrons?
No, the bond electrons are weighted towards the element with the higher electronegativity, while forming the ionic bond.
Why is the bondbetween an electropositive and electronegative atom ionic in nature?
an electropositive element gives electrons to electronegative elements and this complete transfer of electrons creates an ionic bond
When do element lose or gain electrons?
Ionic Bond is the answer SGT John
What happens to an electron when ionic bond forms?
Electrons are transferred from one element to another. when electrons are shared this is a covalent bond.
What bond involves the gain and loss of electrons?
Ionic bonds involve an element gaining an electron and an element losing an electron.Ionic bonds differ from covalent bonds in that covalent bonds cause elements to "share" electrons, while in ionic bonds there is a distinct transfer of electrons.Ionic Bond.
Which type of bond are electrons gained or lost?
ionic bond is formed by the complete transfer of electrons
What is one way atoms can complete their set of electrons?
Atoms can complete their set of valence electrons by either taking some from another element (ionic bond), or by sharing valence electrons with another element (covalent bond). An ionic bond is usually between a non-metal and a metal, and a covalent bond is usually between two non-metals.
Can a bond be a covalent and ionic bond?
No. A bond cannot be both covalent and ionic. A bond can be covalent, ionic or metallic. In covalent bonding electrons are shared, electrons are transferred in ionic bonding and electrons move about in a sea of electrons in metallic bonds.
When does an ionic bond happen?
when an element donate it's electrons and another element acceps it,in order to complete the octet electronic configuration,ionic bonds are formed
What is difference between ionic bond and polar bond?
In an ionic bond the lectrons are transfwrred and NOT shared. The bond is electrostatic in nature. In a polar covalent bond the electrons are shared, the more electronegative element attracts the shared electrons creating a build up of charge which forms a bond dipole.
A type of bond in which electrons are transferred?
An ionic bond results when there is a transfer of one or more electrons from atom to another atom.
