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 octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to have a full outer shell of 8 electrons to achieve stability. This leads to the formation of chemical bonds between atoms. Exceptions to the octet rule can occur for elements with fewer valence electrons.
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.
What happens to atoms during ionic bonding?
During ionic bonding, atoms either lose electrons (if they are metals), or gain electrons (non-metals). The atoms now become charged ions, as there is an imbalance of protons and electrons. For example, sodium and chlorine are very, very reactive on their own, but when brought together, the sodium loses one valence electron, whilst the chlorine gains this single electron. The resulting compound is sodium chloride, which is stable, now that the ions have a full outer electron shell. For more detail, see accompanying link.
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 process do atoms undergo to become stable?
Atoms become stable by gaining or losing electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell. This involves forming bonds with other atoms to share or transfer electrons. Once the outer shell is full, the atom is more stable and less likely to react with other atoms.
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.
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 an atom becomes when it has a complete set of electrons?
An atom becomes stable when it has a complete set of electrons in its outermost energy level, known as a full valence shell. Atoms achieve stability by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons to reach this state. Once achieved, the atom is less likely to react with other atoms to form chemical bonds.
What is octectrule?
The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to have a full outer shell of 8 electrons to achieve stability. This leads to the formation of chemical bonds between atoms. Exceptions to the octet rule can occur for elements with fewer valence electrons.
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 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.
