What else can I help you with?
When molecules are formed atoms share or loose electrons?
To form a molecule, atoms can share, lose, and gain electrons
What chemical bond occurs when atoms lose gain or share electrons?
When atoms lose and gain electrons, an ionic bond will form. When atoms share electrons, a covalent bond will form.
When metals react with other elements the atoms of the metals loose or gain electrons?
They will loose electrons.
Do non-metal atoms need to gain electrons or loose them?
They need to gain them.
Do atoms join by a covalent bond do not gain or lose electrons?
Atoms that join by a covalent bond share electrons but do not gain or lose them. In a covalent bond, the electrons are shared between the atoms, creating a stable electron configuration for both atoms involved.
What is a reason for atoms to not gain lose or share electrons?
This depends on the electronegativity of atoms.
What happens when atoms gain loose or share electrons?
When atoms gain, lose, or share electrons, they form chemical bonds, leading to the creation of ions or molecules. Gaining or losing electrons results in the formation of ions: atoms that are positively charged (cations) when they lose electrons, or negatively charged (anions) when they gain electrons. Sharing electrons typically occurs in covalent bonds, where two or more atoms form a stable molecule by overlapping their electron clouds. These interactions are fundamental to the formation of compounds and the chemical behavior of substances.
How many electrons that an atom in the oxygen family gain or share?
Atoms in the oxygen family can gain or share two electrons in order to achieve an octet of electrons.
Do ion share electrons with other atoms?
Ions do not share electrons with other atoms. Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Positive ions (cations) lose electrons, while negative ions (anions) gain electrons.
Do atoms of nonmetals usually gain or share electrons when they combine with other atoms?
Yes.
Do atoms lose and gain electrons when a new substance is forming?
Some atoms lose electrons, some gain electrons, and some share electrons depending on what elements are involved and what compound is forming.
What is a chemical bond where atoms either gain or loose electrons?
ionic bonding :]
