Ionic bond.
When atoms share electrons, they form a chemical bond, or covalent bond.
Chemical bonds are formed when atoms share or transfer electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Factors that influence the strength and stability of chemical bonds include the types of atoms involved, the number of shared electrons, and the distance between the atoms.
Ionic bonds are formed when electrons are gained or lost. This is the complete transfer of electrons between the atoms. For e.g sodium(Na) releases its one electron which is transfered to the deserving chlorine atom(Cl). So, chlorine becomes negatively charged and the sodium atom becomes a positive ion(Na+). This is the case when electrons are completely transfered from sodium to chlorine and ionic bond is formed i.e NaCl. Moreover, when electrons are shared between atoms covalent bonds may form.
Atoms in a compound are held together by chemical bonds, which are formed when atoms share or transfer electrons to achieve a stable configuration. These bonds can be covalent, where atoms share electrons, or ionic, where electrons are transferred between atoms.
Valence electrons are the outermost electrons in an atom and may be involved in chemical bonding with other atoms to form compounds. These electrons determine the reactivity and chemical properties of an element.
Ionic bonds are formed between positively charged atoms (lost electrons) and negatively charged atoms (gained electrons).
A covalent bond is formed when electrons are transferred from atom to atom.
of course, ions are formed by loosing (cations) or gaining (anions) electrons. anions have more electrons than the atom from which it is formed.
covalent
Chemical bonds are formed by the sharing or donating of electrons. The electrons that atoms use to make chemical bonds are the outermost electrons, also known as valence electrons.
Chemical bonds are formed by sharing of atoms.
a covalent bond
An ionic bond between the ions (formed from the atoms).
A chemical compound is formed from chemical elements.A chemical element is formed from atoms; atoms contain an atomic nucleus (protons and neutrons), electrons and...vacuum.
When atoms share electrons, they form a chemical bond, or covalent bond.
Ionic bond is formed between the ions.
Most atoms have the ability to lose electrons, given the conditions are favorable, e.g. in a chemical reaction, but the ones that loose their electrons easiest are the ones with only a few electrons in their outer shell, such as the alkali metals and alkaline earth metals which only have 1 and two electrons, respectively.
