How are bonds formed?

Answer 1

Depends on the type of bond.

For Chemistry, If its an ionic bond, there is a strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. So the compound is created due to powerful attraction. Usually one or more electrons exchange elements and move to the other element such as Na(2)o oxygen gains two electrons and Sodium loses two.

In covalent bonds, There is a shared pair of electrons. This is when both nucleus' exert a strong attraction on a pair of electrons and are shared between the two atoms. However, despite strong attraction between atoms, it has weak intermolecular forces and are generally easier to break than Ionic bonding.

This is not true of giant covalent structures, but thats a question for another day :)

Answer 2

When bonds form, particles lose their ability to move around as will and their Brownian motion slows down. For example, when bond forms between steam molecules, they condense to form liquid H2O.

Bond formation is commonly accompanied by the release of heat. When bonds form, atoms/particles possess less energy and form rigid structure (e.g. freezing). Thus, the excess energy which it used to possess will be released into the environment, most commonly as heat. Thus, this explains why we need to cool to causes liquids to freeze.

Answer 3

Bonds are formed by the sharing or transfer of electrons between atoms. Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons, while ionic bonds are formed when atoms transfer electrons. These interactions help atoms achieve a more stable, lower energy state.

Answer 4

Bonds are formed when atoms lose,gain or share their valence electrons to achieve noble gas configuration or simply ''stability''

Answer 5

A bond is formed.
