An atom that has lost or gained electrons is known as an ion. What compound is it made up of?
Atoms (and ions) are not made of compounds. Compounds are made of two or more different atoms.
Which type of bond forms when two or more atoms share electrons?
The bond is covalent. If the bond is made by transferring electrons then it is an ionic bond, but if they are sharing the it is covalent.
Organic compounds are the basis for all life Explain this statement?
Organic compounds are the basis for all life forms because they are all made of mostly carbon-based compounds and not synthetic materials. Carbon is able to bond with elements easily due to having four valence electrons.
Are the eyes made up of atoms and molecules?
Yes…all matter is composed of particles (electrons, nuclei, protons). Together, these particles create atoms. Atoms create molecules and compounds. Since molecules and compounds are matter and eyes are matter, eyes are made up of atoms and molecules.
What are example of basic compound?
There are two basic types of compounds. They are distinguished by by the manner in which the atoms bind to one another in the compound. These two types are called "molecular" compounds and "salts" (or equivalently "ionic" compounds): Molecular compounds: These compounds are made up of molecules whose atoms bind to one another through "covalent" bonds. Salts: The atoms in salts are held together with "ionic" bonds. Unlike molecules, salts always form solids in a regular array called a "crystalline solid". A bond is the "glue" that holds atoms together. In compounds this glue can either be covalent or ionic. Covalent bonds: The electrons are shared between atoms. Therefore this sharing of electrons provides the glue. Ionic bonds: Ionic bonds occur due to the mutual attraction between atoms with positive and negative charges i.e., ions.

Are all compounds made by sharing electrons?
Only covalent compounds are made by sharing electrons.
Which qualities can be used to identify binary covalent compounds?
apex Compounds made from two nonmetals Sharing of electrons
Are all compounds made of sharing electrons?
This is the situation of covalent compounds.
When forming a compound the chemical formula or compound is made stable with a net charge of zero by changing or adding?
When forming a compound the chemical formula or compound is made stable with a net charge of zero by the sharing of electrons (covalent compounds/molecules) or the transfer of electrons (ionic compounds).
Is an ionic bond is a shared pair of electrons?
No. Ionic compounds are not made by sharing electrons. Those would be covalent compounds. Ionic compounds are made when one atom donates an electron(s), and the other atoms takes the electron(s).
How do you characterize covalent?
The bond itself involve the sharing of electrons. Typical covalently bonded compounds are made up of molecules which may be small e.g. H2 or large, e.g. proteins.
what kind of bond is made up of sharing electrons?
covalent bond
What is the result of electron sharing in covalent bonds?
In fact, the covalent bonds are made by sharing of two electrons in two atoms.
What kind of bond is made by two elements sharing electrons?
Covalent bonds
What is located in the outer shell of an atom?
Electrons. Electrons are also made up of quarks but you dont have to go that far if you arent in an advanced class.
An atom that has lost or gained electrons is known as an ion. What compound is it made up of?
Atoms (and ions) are not made of compounds. Compounds are made of two or more different atoms.
Which compound is made of atoms joined by covalent bonds?
There are millions of covalently combined compounds. However, the two simplest are water and carbon dioxide. Often represented by Water (H2O) ; H-O-H , and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) ; O=C=O The lines between each atoms indicate the number of COVALENT bonds formed between atoms.
