What happens to atoms once a bond is made?
It depends on which type of bond. If it is a covalent bond they will share electrons, and if its an ionic bond the atom with the lesser amount of electrons will transfer them to the other atom.
An attraction between two atoms?
Electrostatic forces between the positively charged nucleus and the electron. In a covalent bond if there is a difference of electronegativity between the atoms then the shared electrons are "attracted" to the most electronegative element.
What is octectrule?
The ocect rule deals with Lewis dot structures. Once you have drawn a correct Lewis dot structure, the central atom should have 8 electrons around it including the bonds with the other atoms.
What is the charge on an oxygen atom?
Corrected: All atoms have a neutral charge until they lose or gain electrons. Once they lose/gain electrons then they are considered ions with respectively positive (on loosing) or negative charge (on gaining electrons, as oxygen tends to do).NO: 2-. It's the same as minus 2, but is written as 2- for conventions.
Why is carbon able to form four covalent with other atoms?
Carbon has four electrons in its outer shell. The most stable electron configuration for carbon (as for most elements) is to have eight electrons in the outer shell. So if carbon can form 4 bonds, it has 4 more electrons to share and will effectively have the stable arrangement of 8 electrons. If carbon forms fewer than 4 bonds, the result is not as stable as 4 bonds, but it is still more stable than having only 4 electrons in the outer shell.
What will happen if ions hits atoms at high speed?
When electrons hit atoms at high speed some of the electrons are knocked away or broken off of the atoms. Once this breakage happens after impact, the atom then becomes a positively charged ion.

What happens to the electrons once you touch it?
IF YOU COULD, i think they would explode
What is the charge on an atom in its natural stare?
Atoms by definition are neutral. Once they gain or lose electrons and acquire a charge, they are called ions.
Electrically charged atom?
Most atoms, ideally would be neutral-equal numbers of electrons and protons. However, in real life mast gain or lose some electrons (valence electrons) so they are either positive or negative--but then there is the Noble gases--they are neutral. The charges are why atoms form compounds--when are, once again, neutral.
How the electrons flow in a rod?
There are several models describing how electric charge flows in a metal. Here are a couple: The Drude model: In the Drude model, electrons are modeled as a gas within a sea of heavy ions (the nuclei of the atoms that the electrons come from). To make things less complicated, the Drude model ignores all interactions between electrons and the electrical interactions between electrons and ions. Collision interactions between electrons and ions, hover, is not ignored. In this model, electrons exchange energy only via external forces and collisions with ions. The Fermi Gas model: In this model, electrons are treated once again as a gas, but they are no longer considered to be particles, but quantum mechanical wave functions. Electron - ion interactions are once again ignored, so the electrons are treated as free particle wave functions with periodic boundary conditions.
What is the charge of an atom with more negative charges than positive charges?
it depends on how many negative atoms u have. e.g: Oxygen is -2 it means that your earning 2 more electrons to make a full shell if its +1 it means that your losing one electron. So once u see + your losing electrons and if you see - your gaining electrons (also known as negative atoms)

What happened in the universe once gravity starting condensing multitudes of hydrogen atoms?
If the hydrogen atoms get close enough together, and hot enough, they will eventually fuse into helium. This is what happens inside stars.
Electrons are example of?
Electrons are subatomic particles. The are currently believed to be elementary particles, but that may just be because we haven't figured out how to break them open to look at the (it was once believed that atoms were the smallest particles, but we now know about quarks and other subatomic particles). Electrons are also Fermions.

The ocect rule deals with Lewis dot structures. Once you have drawn a correct Lewis dot structure, the central atom should have 8 electrons around it including the bonds with the other atoms.
If 2 electrons where added to oxygen atom what would be the charge?
All atoms have a neutral charge until they lose or gain electrons. Once they lose/gain electrons then they are considered ions. Gaining electrons- If atoms gain electrons then they are getting negatively charged particles making them have a negative charge. Losing electrons- If atoms lose electrons then they are losing a negative charge and they become a positively charged ion. Oxygen- Oxygen will have a negative charge before a positive charge because it needs only two electrons to have a stable valence level. For example, Oxygen will take the electrons from two Hydrogen atoms and make H20.
