How many electrons does phosphorus give or take?
phosphorus will accept 3 electrons or share 3 electrons
Do molecules bond together to form electrons?
No, atoms do not bond to form electrons because electrons cannot be "formed" in this manner. Instead, bonds are formed when atoms share the electrons they possesses. Each atom wants to gain a full octet of electrons in its outermost shell. Until the atom has eight, it cannot be happy and remains "unstable." So, through the process of bonding, an atom will share its valence electrons (electrons in the outer shell) with another atom. This way, each atom can satisfy its octet and be happy.
Why don't atoms lose and gain electrons when covalent bonding occurs?
Because the atoms having covalent bonds "share" the involved electrons equally. This is one of the effects of Quantum Mechanics, the shape of the orbital probability cloud containing the electrons in these bonds changes shape to encompass both atoms valence bands.
Inner-shell electrons are electrons that?
inner shell electrons : the electrons that are not in the the highest occupied energy level .
How many electrons do hydrogen gains or lost?
Hydrogen shares its electrons to complete the octate so it gains 1 electrons. it can also its electrons.
What will oxygen do with its electrons to gain stability?
Oxygen will bond (share electrons) with other atoms to produce stable compounds ex. H2O ,O2
What is a covalent bond that electrons are share unequally?
H2o, thus dictated by each atom's electronegativity rating.
How many bond pair electrons in H2O?
There r 4 bonded electrons in h2o and 4 unpaired electrons
What Type Of Bond Does H2O Have?
H2O has a covalent bond between Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms. They share electrons and hence achieve noble gas configuration. The covalent bond present is a polar bond.
What does water do in radiation shielding and does it work as an absorber of electrons?
H2O provides an energy transfer for radiant energy. The volume of H2O per radiant energy is proportional. The visual energy transfer may be measured by H2O's "change of state" rate. Regarding H20 as an absorber of electrons, oxygen has a larger share of electrons. This is how one Oxygen atom and two Hydrogen atoms bond to create H2O. See "polar covalent bond" and "electronegativity" for greater depth. If a flux of electrons bombard H2O, the molecular compound will change in composition -OR- reform in an entirely different molecular compound.
When atoms share electrons how are they bonded?
covalent bonds share electrons
What is a bond which atoms share electrons?
Covalent bonds share electrons.

"atoms share electrons"?
Atoms share electrons when they form covalent bonds.
Which 2 elements share electrons to form a molecule of water?
Water is H2O that 2 Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom per molecule.
When 2 atoms share electrons what is that called?
They share electrons to form a chemical bond.
When atoms share electrons what forms?
A covalent bond forms when atoms share electrons.
