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
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
Atoms which form covalent bonds do share electrons. An example would be the atoms in a water molecule. Yes, the electrons are really shared.
No, It would be an ionic bond. For Covalent is the sharing of atoms, ionic is transferring.

Two atoms that have a total of 20 electrons combined could be calcium (Ca) and potassium (K), as calcium has 20 electrons and potassium has 19 electrons. Alternatively, you could have two atoms of calcium, which would also sum up to 20 electrons. Another combination could be a calcium atom (20 electrons) and an oxygen atom (8 electrons) if we consider a different arrangement, but that would exceed the total.
All atoms have electrons. if there were no electrons it would just be a bunch of protons and neutrons
