Transition elements are the major group of elements with this property.

∙ 15y agoTheoretically, any element can be "persuaded" in a laboratory to accept or give up more than one electron, even hydrogen. Most ions are very unstable because the attractive or repulsive force is so strong, so they won't last long once they get close enough to anything. Some text books won't call an atom an "ion" unless it meets some kind of time criteria, or doesn't occur "naturally" (like bombarding an atom with outlandish amounts of high energy radiation, or something else that usually doesn't happen on the surface of the Earth these days) or in specific amounts.

Are there more elements or more non-elements?
All matter is made up of various elements, and most elements are found in the form of compounds. There are far more compounds than there are elements.
What kind of elements can form ions with more than one charge?
Transition elements are the major group of elements with this property.
Which pair of elements will most readily form a compound?
elements that may form a compound, are elements that are different from each other, and they also have to be more than 1 element to combine, and create.
How many covalent bonds can carbon form with other elements?
not more than three !
What is composition?
How the objects in a photograph are positioned
What is different about the noble gases?
They are gases that do not form normal chemical bonds with more than a very few other elements.
Why are there more materials than elements?
Because the elements can combine in many ways to form compounds, and compounds can be mixed in many differed ways. Moreover, some elements occur in different forms. The elements carbon and hydrogen alone combine for form thousands of compounds.
These elements form ions because they have more than?
protons than electrons
Are there more elements or more non-elements?
All matter is made up of various elements, and most elements are found in the form of compounds. There are far more compounds than there are elements.
Atoms and molecules of different elements can do what to form molecules of compounds?
(Two or more than two ) Atoms or molecules of different elements combine to form compounds, like: Hydrogen(atom) and Chlorine combine to form HCL (an acid) Hydrogen(molecule) and oxygen combine to fom H2O (water)
Different compounds can be composed of?
No more than two elements
What kind of elements can form ions with more than one charge?
Transition elements are the major group of elements with this property.
Which pair of elements will most readily form a compound?
elements that may form a compound, are elements that are different from each other, and they also have to be more than 1 element to combine, and create.
Are atoms different elements designed to form compounds?
Atoms are the smallest particle possible of an element. Compounds are made up of molecules which have more than one elemental type of atom; compounds are chemical mixtures of different elements.
Why do bonds form in elements?
Elements bond together to gain more stability than their existance of individual atoms.
The range of half- lives of different radioactive elements is form?
From a tiny fraction of a second (10-18 seconds or so) to more than 1015 years.
Is it true that there are about 100 different molecules that combine to form materials?
There are 100 different elements, but most come in the form of individual atoms rather than molecules..
