During glycolysis NADH is formed when hydrogen atoms are transferred to an electron acceptor called?

NAD+ (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) gains two hydrogen atoms and two electrons to form NADH during glycolysis. NAD+ acts as an electron carrier, accepting the hydrogen atoms and becoming reduced to form NADH.


Are atoms positive or negative?

Yes. It has both.The definition of "neutral" is zero net charge. Every atom has positive and negative charges among its components. If the atom is 'neutral', then the numbers of positive and negative charges are equal, and the atom's 'net' charge is zero.


How do convelant bond formed between atoms?

Covalent bonds occur at a potential energy minimum  As two atoms approach one another, the potential energy decreases. When the potential energy is at its minimum value, the two-atom combination is most stable because lower energy means greater stability.


Could an atom ever lose a electron without another atom gaining one?

Yes. An atom can lose an electron without another atom gaining one. It happens quite frequently in atom smashers. Scientists strip off all the electrons and crash the nucleus of one atom into other atoms. And they even get paid to do it!


When one atom loses an electron and another accepts that electron?

It depends on the exact situation. Probably ions Well this answer is vaguely correct. When an atom gains or loses an electron it becomes an ion. Ions with a net positive charge are called cations and ions with a net negative charge are anions. This allows for an ionic bond to occur. An ionic bond occurs when an anion binds with a cation.

An ionic bond.


How are ions formed from atoms?

Ions are the formation of unbalanced atoms due to an attraction caused by a near completion of an electron ring in one atom and extra or valence electrons in the outer ring of another. If an atom gains an extra electron its over all charge is negative and the opposite is true for the atom gaining an electron.

What is formed when a atom gives up a electron?

When an atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom, an ionic bond is formed. Atoms are the basic unit of a chemical element.


How does ionic bonds form?

Ionic bonds are formed when atoms lose or gain electrons in order to have a full outer shell of electrons to make them stable.One atom pulls an electron from another atom.
