Heat is a form of energy that can be absorbed by electrons, which use the extra energy to move into higher energy orbits. If they absorb enough energy, they can escape the nucleus completely. A hot gas whose electrons have been stripped off is referred to as "plasma," and a great example is a simple flame.
The chlorine atoms would become negatively charged because they would gain electrons from the calcium atoms, resulting in an excess of electrons and a net negative charge.
negatively
Let's see. 1 mole K atoms = 6.022 X 1023 atoms * 19 electrons = 1.144 X 1025 electrons in one mole potassium ------------------------------------------------------------- 1 mole Au atoms = 6.022 X 1023 atoms * 79 electrons = 4.757 X 1025 electrons in one mole gold ------------------------------------------------------ A mole of gold, Au, atoms contains more electrons than a mole of potassium, K, atoms.
negatively
Atoms which form covalent bonds do share electrons. An example would be the atoms in a water molecule. Yes, the electrons are really shared.
my best guess is that its absorbing enough energy to move it up to the next energy level and when it absorbs enough its far enough away to not be attracted anymore
No, It would be an ionic bond. For Covalent is the sharing of atoms, ionic is transferring.
Atoms which form covalent bonds do share electrons. An example would be the atoms in a water molecule. Yes, the electrons are really shared.

All atoms have electrons. if there were no electrons it would just be a bunch of protons and neutrons
a covalent bond is when two atoms share a pair of electrons
