If calcium is most happy with a charge of 2 how many electrons would it have?
The neutral atom of calcium has 20 electrons; the cation Ca2+ has 18 electrons.
Does covalent bond shares a pair of electons?
They share eelctrons based on how many electrons they both need in their outer shell to form 8 electrons which will make them happy. Hope this helps
What does a happy atom have to do with bonding?
A happy atom has a full outer electron shell, which makes it stable. When atoms bond with other atoms, they do so to achieve a full outer shell through sharing, gaining, or losing electrons. This bonding process allows atoms to become more stable and form molecules.
When atoms share valence electrons to form a chemical bond what kind of bond is formed?
Chemical bonds don't form electrons; an element has valance electrons. Covalent bonds are formed when elements share their valance electrons. An element wants to have 8 valance electrons. That is when it is an "happy atom". For example, carbon has has four valance electons, so it typically bonds with hydrogen and oxygen to get those four valance electrons.
Would an atom with 3 electrons in level M tend to gain or lose electrons?
That depends on the element. Any such atom with more than four protons will gain electrons to become electrically neutral. If that atoms has four protons (beryllium) then it will be able to form a stable ion with two electrons. If it is left with three electrons it will either gain an electron to form a neutral atom or, if in the presence of an oxidizing substance, lose an electron to form an ion. If the atom has three protons (lithium) it will form a stable, neutral atom with three electrons but will lose one electron when it reacts to form a stable ion. If that atom has two protons (helium) then it will only be stable with two electrons and will gain or lose electrons accordingly to maintain that number. If the atom has one proton (hydrogen) then it will tend to share electrons rather than gaining or losing them. It forms a neutral atom with one electron but can form an ion with two. It has no stable configuration with three electrons.
Where are the happy atoms located?
Happy atoms refer to positive ions that have gained electrons, thus achieving stability and a neutral charge. In general, happy atoms can be found in stable compounds where atoms have achieved a full outer electron shell through bonding with other atoms.
Do neutral atoms have a positive or negative charge?
No..... They are called neutral for a reason. But neutral atoms can have electrons added and removed making the atom positive or negative. And neutral atoms are still affected by charged atoms due to reason in depth but to sum up the long explanation of the affect neutral atoms are attracted to charged atoms. Just a side note.... how many of you love Leo Howard? Am I right?
What does a neutral charge have?
It depends. Neutral atoms have numerous types and classifications. There are happy, sad, angry, and indifferent atoms in the neutral group. Also, isotonic and philanthropic atoms will always have positive charges. The contrapositives and monolithics always are negative.
Is the number of protons equal to the number of ions in a neutral atom?
No, the number of protons in an atom is equal to the atomic number, which represents its identity on the periodic table. In a neutral atom, the number of protons (positively charged) is balanced by the number of electrons (negatively charged), resulting in an overall neutral charge. Ions are atoms with unequal numbers of protons and electrons, leading to a net positive or negative charge.
How many valence electrons do most atoms need to have a complete outer Shell and be happy?
Most atoms need eight valence electrons to have a complete outer shell and achieve a stable, "happy" state, a concept known as the octet rule. However, there are exceptions, such as hydrogen and helium, which are stable with just two valence electrons. Atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to reach this stable configuration.
The happy atoms are the blank gases They dont react because blank?
The happy atoms are the noble gases. They don't react because their valence electron shells are full. The goal of every element is to have the most outer shell of electrons full. The first shell holds 2 electrons, and every shell after that holds 8 electrons. So helium and hydrogen both want to have 2 electrons in their outer shells. Elements like neon and argon have 8 electrons in their outer shells. Atoms like chlorine and fluorine have 7 electrons in their outer shells. This means that aren't "happy" because they want to have 8. This is why they ionically bond with atoms like sodium that have 1 electron in their outer shells. Sodium gives that electron to chlorine and now both have 8 electrons in their outer shells.
If calcium is most happy with a charge of 2 how many electrons would it have?
The neutral atom of calcium has 20 electrons; the cation Ca2+ has 18 electrons.
Do molecules bond together to form electrons?
No, atoms do not bond to form electrons because electrons cannot be "formed" in this manner. Instead, bonds are formed when atoms share the electrons they possesses. Each atom wants to gain a full octet of electrons in its outermost shell. Until the atom has eight, it cannot be happy and remains "unstable." So, through the process of bonding, an atom will share its valence electrons (electrons in the outer shell) with another atom. This way, each atom can satisfy its octet and be happy.
Transferring or sharing electrons between atoms form?
Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons. Let's take hydrogen for example. To be the most "happy" atoms want their outermost orbital full of electrons. Hydrogen has only one electron in its 1s orbital, but the 1s orbital can hold two electrons. Hydrogen wants two electrons to be "happy" so it will do what it takes to get them. If a hydrogen atom bumps into another hydrogen atom they can both become "happy" as each atom will share its electron with the other atom, giving each a full outermost orbital with the help of the other atom's electron. This is what creates the bond in covalent bond as the hydrogen atoms are "happier" together with a full orbital than they would be with a half-full orbital apart.
Do all atoms have valence electrons?
It depends on the atom. An atom is made of 3 subatomic particles- a negatively charged electron, a positively charged proton, and a neutral neutron. If the number of electrons and the number of protons are different, then the atom has a net charge. If the number of electrons and the number of protons are the same, then the atom is said to be neutrally charged. Changing the number of neutrons affects the mass and therefore important traits of each atom, but does not affect its charge. Atoms that have a net charge are called 'ions.'
Does covalent bond shares a pair of electons?
They share eelctrons based on how many electrons they both need in their outer shell to form 8 electrons which will make them happy. Hope this helps
How many valence electrons do stable atoms have?
Oh, dude, stable atoms typically have 8 valence electrons because they want to be all balanced and happy. It's like they're throwing a party and they need 8 cool electrons to join in on the fun. So yeah, 8 valence electrons is the magic number for stable atoms.
