What is an atom stable?
An atom is stable when it has a full outer electron shell, which typically consists of 8 electrons. Atoms can achieve stability by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons through chemical bonds. Stable atoms do not easily react with other atoms or lose their structure.
What is an atom that has given up or taken on electrons?
I believe you mean an ion, which is an atom or a group of atoms that has acquired a net electric charge by gaining or losing one or more electrons. atoms that lose electrons are metals that become positively charged cations. atoms that gain electrons are non-metals that become negatively charged anions.
The likelihood that an atom will bind with another depends on the number and arrangement of its?
The likelihood that an atom will bind with another depends on the number and arrangement of its electrons in the outermost energy level. Atoms are more stable when their outermost energy level is filled with electrons, so they will often form bonds to achieve a full outer shell. This can involve sharing, gaining, or losing electrons to achieve stability.
The names of negative ions that form when atoms gain electrons have the ending .?
-ide, as in: chlorine -> chloride fluorine -> fluoride oxygen -> oxide etc.
What happens When two molecules combine?
When two molecules combine, they can form a new compound by sharing, gaining, or losing electrons. This process is called a chemical reaction, where the atoms in the molecules rearrange to create the new compound with different properties than the original molecules.
What structure will atoms have after losing of gaining electrons?
If atoms lose electrons they will have a positively charged ion called a cation. If they gain electrons, they will have a negatively charged ion called an anion.
When forming compounds atoms try to gain or lose what?
In forming compounds, atoms are engaged in either gaining or losing electrons. They may also share electrons, but that is also a form of gaining or losing electrons.
How do some atoms gain or lose electrons to form ions?
Oxidation: losing electrons Reduction: gaining electrons OIL RIG (oxidation is losing-reduction is gaining) ^ helpful memory tool.
What is a chemical bond formed by atoms losing or gaining electrons?
metallic bond
How can atoms achieve octet rule?
by losing or gaining electrons to become stable
Can chemical bonds be produced by losing electrons losing nuetrons transferring electrons sharing electrons or gaining electrons?
Chemical bonds can be only produced by gaining, losing or sharing electrons. If a compound is formed by losing or gaining electrons, it is called an ionic bond and if by sharing electrons, it is called a covalent bond.
What is an atom called that has a positive and negative charge as a result of gaining or losing electrons?
Atoms with a charge are called ions.
What is a chemical bond formed by atoms losing or gaining electrons called?
This chemical bonding is called ionic bonding.
What is the process of losing or gaining electrons to become stable?
Losing or gaining electrons is known as ionization, a process that occurs when an atom gains or loses electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Atoms tend to lose or gain electrons to achieve a full outer shell, following the octet rule. This process forms ions, which are electrically charged particles.
How can atoms with fewer than 8 valence electrons fill their outmost energy level?
They ca fill their outmost energy level by gaining or losing electrons.
What chemical bond holds oxygen atoms to phosphors atoms?
They are held together by covalent bonds (they share the electrons in the outer shells, instead of losing or gaining them)
When atoms or molecules gain or lose electrons they can be best described as what?
When atoms or molecules gain or lose electrons, they are best described as becoming ions. Ions are charged particles that are formed through the process of gaining or losing electrons.
