What bond is formed when a pair of electrons is donated to another atom?
The transfer of an electron from one atom to another results in an ionic bond.
What is a chemical bond that occurs when an atom transfers electron?
an ionic bond
An ionic bond is one in which what shell electrons have been what?
an ionic bond is a bond formed when the electron in the outermost layer of an atom is given to another atom to "complete" the octet electron configuration of the receiving atom
What type of atom is formed when an electron is gained or lost by a neutral atom?
That would be an ion.
What type of bond is formed when an atom of potassium loses an electron to an atom of chlorine?
ionic
How are the ions formed .?
Ions are formed in the environment by the transfer of electrons. This occurs in the atom when one electron transfers to another.
What is the atom that loses or transfers an electron to another atom is called?
an isotope
When is an ionic bond formed?
An ionic bond forms when two oppositely charged ions combine.
How does ionic bonds form?
Ionic bonds are formed when atoms lose or gain electrons in order to have a full outer shell of electrons to make them stable.One atom pulls an electron from another atom.
What kind of bond is formed when atoms steal an electron from another atom?
An ionic bond.
What is formed when an atom loses an electron to another atom?
Ions formed when a atom gains or loses electrons. An atom that has either a positive or negative charge is known as an ion.
What is formed when a atom gives up a electron?
When an atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom, an ionic bond is formed. Atoms are the basic unit of a chemical element.
What kind of bond is formed when one atoms steals an electron from another atom?
An ionic bond.
If one element give an electron to another atom what kind of bond is formed?
This is an ionic bond.
What kind of bond is formed when one atoms steals one electron from another atom?
An ionic bond.
How are ions formed from atoms?
Ions are the formation of unbalanced atoms due to an attraction caused by a near completion of an electron ring in one atom and extra or valence electrons in the outer ring of another. If an atom gains an extra electron its over all charge is negative and the opposite is true for the atom gaining an electron.
What happens when an atom that looses an electron comes in contact with an atom that has gained an electron?
An ionic molecule is formed.
