What else can I help you with?
How can you determine whether a molecule is ionic or covalent?
You can determine if a molecule is ionic or covalent based on the type of bond it has. Ionic bonds form between a metal and a nonmetal, where electrons are transferred. Covalent bonds form between two nonmetals, where electrons are shared.
What determines whether or not an atom will form bonds?
The number of electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom, known as valence electrons, determines its ability to form bonds. Atoms are more likely to form bonds if doing so allows them to achieve a stable electron configuration, such as a full outer energy level (octet rule). Factors like electronegativity and bonding preferences also influence whether an atom will form bonds.
What is the primary factor that determines whether an element Is a nonmetal?
The primary factor that determines whether an element is a nonmetal is its electron configuration, specifically the number of valence electrons. Nonmetals typically have high electronegativity and tend to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. They are located on the right side of the periodic table.
The number of what identifies whether an atom carries a charge ion or is neutral?
Electrons An atom that becomes stripped of any given number electrons becomes an ion. That is my understanding. :-)
What property determines whether an atom forms an ionic polar covelant or nonpolar covelant bond?
You have to now the VSERP theory. The number of valence electrons determine the polarity of the molecule as well of the electronegativities of the elements involved. The less symmetric the molecule the more polar it is.
What subatomic particle determines how element will bond to form new substance?
The subatomic particle that primarily determines how an element will bond to form new substances is the electron, specifically the valence electrons. These are the outermost electrons in an atom and are involved in chemical bonding, allowing atoms to share, lose, or gain electrons to achieve stability. The arrangement of these valence electrons influences the type of bonds an element can form, whether ionic, covalent, or metallic.
What happens with electrons in a molecular compound?
depends on whether you are taking about a covalent bond or an ionic bond
Does the intensity of light determine whether radiation will eject electrons?
No. The wavelength of the light determines whether an electron will be ejected from an atom.
How can you determine whether a molecule is ionic or covalent?
You can determine if a molecule is ionic or covalent based on the type of bond it has. Ionic bonds form between a metal and a nonmetal, where electrons are transferred. Covalent bonds form between two nonmetals, where electrons are shared.
What determines whether a charged object gains or loses electrons?
Peanuts are AMAZING! Especially when they are boiled.
How are the electrons of atoms involved when a chemical change takes place?
The Valence electrons of an atom are shared or swapped (depending on whether it is a ionic or covalent bond)
What can atoms form that double or triple that depend on whether they share two or three pairs of electrons?
covalent bonds

What is determined by weather or not electrons are shared or transferred between two atoms?
Whether electrons are shared or transferred between two atoms is determined by the difference in electronegativity between the atoms. If the electronegativity difference is small, electrons are shared covalently, while if the difference is large, electrons are transferred to form an ionic bond.
A bond between atoms in which the atoms share electrons rather transfer them is called what bond?
it's either an ion or a molecule. The correct answer is, Covalent Bond.
