When the bond is formed than the electron stop moving or not?

The electrons never stop moving. The bond is formed when the moving electrons of one atom overlap with the moving electrons of another atom (covalent bond), or are donated to the other atom (ionic bond), but they keep moving all the time.


What happens to valence electrons as an ionic bond is formed between a metal and a nonmetal?

At least one, and usually all, of the valence electrons of the metal atom is donated to the valence shell of the nonmetal atom.


How coordinate bond is formed?

A coordinate bond, also known as a dative bond, is formed when one atom donates both electrons to another atom to form a shared pair. The donating atom is typically a Lewis base, which has a lone pair of electrons to donate, while the receiving atom is a Lewis acid, which can accept the electrons. This results in a stronger bond compared to a normal covalent bond.


What forms when electrons are donated and accepted?

When electrons are donated and accepted, an ionic bond is formed between two atoms. The donating atom loses an electron (becoming a positively charged ion) while the accepting atom gains an electron (becoming a negatively charged ion), resulting in an attractive force between the ions.


What is the name given to the bond that is formed when electrons are transferred from one atom to another atom?

an ionic bond


What is formed in a metallic when atoms give up electrons?

When an atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom, an ionic bond is formed. Atoms are the basic unit of a chemical element.


How are the ions formed .?

Ions are formed in the environment by the transfer of electrons. This occurs in the atom when one electron transfers to another.


What particles is the atom formed of?

Atom is formed of electrons, protons and neutrons.


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.


Which bond forms by sharing electrons in the outermost shell?

The sharing of electrons between atoms forms a covalent bond. If electrons are donated from one atom to another to form a bond this would be an ionic bond.


How does ionic bonds form?

Ionic bonds are formed when atoms lose or gain electrons in order to have a full outer shell of electrons to make them stable.One atom pulls an electron from another atom.


What is formed when a atom gives up a electron?

When an atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom, an ionic bond is formed. Atoms are the basic unit of a chemical element.
