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.
The covalent bond is formed by sharing electrons.
An ion is formed by losing one or more electrons. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged and is called a cation.
An ion is an atom which is not neutral i.e. it has excess of charge on it. There are two types of ions:Cation:- These have positive charge on them. They are formed when an loses electrons and protons exceed their number.Anion:- These have negative charge in them. They are formed when an atom gains electrons and no. of electrons exceed the no. of protons.
Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons. Positively charged cations are formed when atoms lose electrons. Negatively charged anions are formed when atoms gain electrons. Ionic bond is the force of attraction between cations and anions.
Ionic bonds are formed when electrons are transferred between atoms, resulting in the attraction between oppositely charged ions.
Ionic bonds are formed by transferring electrons, while covalent (molecular) are formed by sharing electrons.
Bonds are formed on sharing electrons. Covalent bonds are formed.
Cations are formed if electrons are less. Anions are formed if electrons are more.
Covalent bonds are formed when non-metals share electrons. Ionic bonds are formed when metals and non-metals lose and gain electrons.
Ions are formed when an atom gains or loses electrons. When an atom loses electrons the Ion that is formed has a positive charge.
of course, ions are formed by loosing (cations) or gaining (anions) electrons. anions have more electrons than the atom from which it is formed.
Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are shared between atoms.
A cation, which is a positively charged ion, is formed when an atom loses electrons.
Yes. Compounds formed by sharing electrons are called covalent compounds.
Yes. Compounds formed by sharing electrons are called covalent compounds.
covalent compound is formed by the sharing of electrons whereas ionic compound is formed by the transfer of electrons.
Electrons are shared.
