One way for an electron to be formed is by pair-production. Pair-production is when a high energy photon ( 1.2 MeV or more) interacts with the nucleus of an atom and turns into an electron and a positron.

It can be formed by sharing electrons?

Covalent bonds are formed when non-metals share electrons. Ionic bonds are formed when metals and non-metals lose and gain electrons.


When are ions formed?

Ions are formed when an atom gains or loses electrons. When an atom loses electrons the Ion that is formed has a positive charge.


Do ions have more electrons than the atoms from which they were formed?

of course, ions are formed by loosing (cations) or gaining (anions) electrons. anions have more electrons than the atom from which it is formed.


Are Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are?

Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are shared between atoms.


What is formed when atoms lose electrons?
