Best Answer

An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non metal. The METAL loses an electron (or electrons) and it becomes positively charged.

How are valence electrons important with bonding?

Valence electrons are important because they are the electrons that each atom uses to bond or that can be stripped from the atom to create an ion. Non-valence electrons are not easily removed from the atom and are not used for bonding or transfer.


What charge does as electron have?

Electrons are the negatively charged particles of an atom. Together, all electrons of an atom create a negative charge that balances out the positively charged atoms called protons.


Is H2CS polar?

Yes it is polar. If you draw the Lewis Structure you have the central atom of Carbon single bonding to two hydrogen and double bonding to sulfur. There will be two lone pairs on Sulfur. This will satisfy the octet rule, and create this molecule. To see if it is polar, find if the dipole movements of the molecule cancel each other. In other words, look at the electronegativity and see if an element has more of a tendency to attract electrons. Since Carbon more electronegative than the Hydrogen, the electrons are more attracted to Carbon and therefore the dipole movements do not cancel out and therefore Sulfur has a slightly negative charge while Hydrogen and Carbon also have a slightly positive charge. Also, since the molecule is asymmetrical, it is polar. Hope that helps ! :)


Is gold an ionic or covalent or metallic?

No, Gold as a pure element uses 'metalic bonding'. This basically means that, as gold is a metal, it has free electrons. These electrons can leave the nucleus (making it posative) and create a sea of delocalised (free) electrons around the nuclei. The plus charge from the gold nucleus attracts the negative charge of the electrons creatring strong bonds which hold the metal together in a regular layered strucure. The free electrons also give gold (and any metal) specif characteristics, such as being able to conduct heat and electricity very well. Hope this helps, AndrewT789


An object that is positively charge is called?

A positively charged particle is called a proton. A negatively charged particle is called an electron.

What is meant by a shared or lose pair of electrons in covalent bonding?

This means that when a compound is created, the elements create bonds in order for electrons to be shared equally. Every element wants to have a full octet in order to be stable. To complete this, both elements pull at the electron(s), and it gravitates towards each element.


Does friction create protons or electrons?

nope, but the triboelectric effect create an electrostatic charge


How does a material acquire a positive electrical charge?

By losing electrons.


A shortage of electrons on surfaces create what kind of charge?

A shortage of electrons on the surface create positive charge. Because aall bodies in nature remains electrically neutral. But we know that electrons are negatively charged particles. It means if there is deficiency of electrons at any surface there would be positive charge. Which means electrons are less than protons which are positively charged particles and hence causes positive charge on surface.

Is it possible to create an induced charge separation on an insulator?

No. To get induced charge separation you must have electrons in outer bands that can easily be moved by an electric field. Conductors have these electrons available but insulators do not.


How important are electrons in bonding and in determining shape and chemical composition of a substance?

The outer shell electrons are key. They create the chemical bonds either through sharing in covalent bonds or transfer in ionic bonds. The number of bonds formed is determined by the electrons available and in covalent bonding the rbitals they are in. The repulsion between pairs of electrons on the central atom determines the shape.


Why are there as many electrons as protons in a atom?

Because Electrons have a negative charge (e-) and Protons have a positive charge (p+), so to create a balanced atom you must have the same number of e- as p+

What is ioninc bonding?

It is a chemical process whereby one or more electrons from one atom are removed and attached to another atom. This will create a negative charge in the atom from which the electron(s) have been removed, and a positive charge in the atom to which the electron(s) have become attached, resulting in a positive to negative attraction between the two atoms, which will then bond to form a molecule.
