While protons are located in the nucleus, the electrons are located in the outer shell of an atom. Therefore, the pull on the electron by the nucleus is weaker allowing them to move towards other atoms.

∙ 15y agoThey do not transfer electrons but they do transfer energy. As in gases the more they collide the higher the pressure in the container, but to hit each other with more frequency there would have to be some sort of an energy input to start the collisions. Although the atoms on liquids and solids do collide with each other they of course will not hit each other as often as freely moving gas.

Correct order of events for ionic bonding?
Atoms transfer electrons, then bond.
What is Electron Bombardment?
Electron bombardment is a process where neutral atoms are converted to positive ions by bombarding them with electrons. Electrons are knocked off the atoms when fast moving electrons collide with them, forming positive ions.
What does the transfer or sharing of electrons create?
The transfer or sharing of electrons between atoms is called a bond. Specifically, a shared-electron bond is called a covalent bond. This is as opposed to an ionic bond, which form due to the actual transfer of electrons between certain atoms.
What type of bond is formed when atoms transfer electrons and create atoms with charges?
An ionic bond.
This is when atoms of elements combine by sharing electrons or by the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another.?
chemical bond
Can free electrons collide with atoms?
Yes, free electrons can collide with atoms.
Correct order of events for ionic bonding?
Atoms transfer electrons, then bond.
When electrons of atoms collide what electrons interact?
Good question! I just wish I knew the answer...
When rapidly vibrating atoms collide with slowly vibrating atoms causing a transfer of heat?
Heat
What will atoms transfer to form a bond?
Electrons
How many electrons are in beryllium transfer in atoms?
Only two electrons.
Why can't heat travel from the sun by convection or conduction?
Because there are no atoms to collide with to transfer the heat energy from the sun, thus, there is no conduction. This is also the same reason that there are no convection currents in space; There are no atoms to collide with to transfer heat. Thus, the only possible way to transfer heat is by radiation.
What is Electron Bombardment?
Electron bombardment is a process where neutral atoms are converted to positive ions by bombarding them with electrons. Electrons are knocked off the atoms when fast moving electrons collide with them, forming positive ions.
What does The transfer of electrons from sodium atoms to chlorine atoms results in the formation of?
it quiter difficult to say but the exchanging of electrons is your answer i THINK!
The particles that are invloved in the transfer or sharing between atoms are?
Electrons.
What particles are involved in the transfer or sharing between atoms?
electrons
Why is the transfer of electrons between atoms important?
It creates current!
