The name of what french city on the rhone river describes the ability of an atom to combine with another atom?

Valence is the ability of an atom or a group of atoms to combine with other atoms or groups of atoms. Valence, France is located on the left bank of the Rhone, along the railway line that runs from Paris to Marseilles. Valence citizens are called Valentinois.


How many electrons are in a completed valence shell of most second period atoms when they combine with other atoms to become molecules?

Most second period atoms have four valence electrons when they combine with other atoms to form molecules.


Do atoms of nonmetals usually lose electrons when they combine with other atoms?

No, atoms of nonmetals usually gain electrons when they combine with other atoms. Nonmetals have a tendency to attract electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, typically by forming covalent bonds with other nonmetals or by gaining electrons to form anions.


What atoms form when they combine together?

When atoms combine, they form molecules. The type of molecule formed depends on the atoms involved and how they bond with each other. Bonding can occur through ionic bonds (transfer of electrons) or covalent bonds (sharing of electrons).


When metal atoms combine chemically with atoms of other elements what do they usually do?

Metal atoms usually lose electrons to form positive ions when they combine chemically with atoms of other elements. This allows them to achieve a more stable electron configuration by attaining a full outer shell.

Why do some atoms bond with other atoms?

Atoms combine with other atoms to form compound. It makes the atoms stable.


When atoms combine with other atoms?

They make molecules. Molecules are a bunch of Atoms together.


How do you find valency?

The valency of an element measures its ability to combine with other elements. This valency is determined by the number of electrons in the outer shell of each atom of an element.


Do atoms of different elements combine the same?

they combine with themselves atoms of different elements connot combine with each other wothout making a new molecule


Can atoms with no charge combine with other atoms with no charge?

Yes. When atoms with no charge combine with one or more atoms with no charge, it's called a molecule. They may share electrons to complete their octet.


What kinds on atoms do not combine easily?

I'm not sure what you mean by "combine", but if atoms are similarly charged, they will not attract... in fact, they will repel each other.


When atoms combine chemically with atoms of other elements what do they usually do?

What happens to most atoms when they combine with other atoms to form compounds?

they share electrons


Do atoms of nonmetals usually gain or share electrons when they combine with other atoms?

Yes.

Can molecules combine to form atoms?

No. Atoms bond to each other to form molecules, not the other way round
