What aspects of an atom determine how an atom will bond to another atom?

the outermost electrons of an atom. these are called valence electrons. atoms are also grouped in the periodic table based on their valence electrons. to complete a full outermost shell there must be 8 electrons. hydrogen has 1 valence electron. and oxygen has 7. they are able to bond together because of how many valence electrons they have.


How many valence electrons take part in a triple bond between two atoms?

A total of 6 electrons.


What constitutes an electrons group?

lone pair of electrons & bonded pairs of electrons


How do you use electron configurations to predict formulas of ionic compounds?

They show how many bonds an atom can create, and whether it gains or loses electrons. (Atoms with 5-7 valence electrons tend to gain electrons, atoms with 1-3 valence electrons tend to lose electrons, atoms with 4 valence electrons can do either, and atoms with 8 valence electrons don't naturally bond)


Carbon is able to bond with atoms of other elements in many different ways because it has how many electrons?

Because it has four Valence electrons


How many of the valence electrons are used to make sigma bonds in the ethyl acetate?

26 Count every sigma bond (13), double it to get number of valence electrons (26).


How many valence electrons does an atom of nitrogen have?

Nitrogen can have either 3 or 5 valence electrons. The number changes because the 2 electrons from the 2s shell can bond as well as the 3 electrons in the outer 2p shell.
