When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals tend to lose electrons. This is because metals have few electrons in their outermost shell and losing those electrons allows them to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Negative ions form when atoms GAIN valence electrons.
A blank is a neutral group of atoms held together by covalent bonds.
Chemical bonds are the force of attraction between two atoms. when they combine and form a molecule, they become a new substance with properties similar to that of the "parent" substances. Different amounts of different elements form different substances. You see, when a boy atom likes a girl atom.... just kidding.
There were 3 blank spaces in mendeleev's Periodic Table. He left it for the elements which were not discovered at that time.
Mendeleev left blank spaces because certain elements on the Periodic Table were not known at that time. He knew that in the future, those elements would be found and placed on the periodic table.
occurs in gas molecules; also known as diatomic elements.
Polar bond
Negative ions form when atoms GAIN valence electrons.
The happy atoms are the noble gases. They don't react because their valence electron shells are full. The goal of every element is to have the most outer shell of electrons full. The first shell holds 2 electrons, and every shell after that holds 8 electrons. So helium and hydrogen both want to have 2 electrons in their outer shells. Elements like neon and argon have 8 electrons in their outer shells. Atoms like chlorine and fluorine have 7 electrons in their outer shells. This means that aren't "happy" because they want to have 8. This is why they ionically bond with atoms like sodium that have 1 electron in their outer shells. Sodium gives that electron to chlorine and now both have 8 electrons in their outer shells.
When two pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms, a double bond is formed. Each pair of shared electrons represents a bond, so a double bond consists of two pairs of electrons shared between the atoms.
All inorganic compounds have atoms in them. Very few inorganic compounds have carbon atoms in them. (Depending on who you ask, "Very few" might be "No".) It looks like this was a fill-in-the-blank but the blank got eaten.
If there are more protons than electrons there is a positive charge. If there is more electrons than protons there is a negative charge.
Blank has different properties from the elements that formed it, is a pure substance made of 2 or more elements and can be represented by a chemical formula
A blank is a neutral group of atoms held together by covalent bonds.
the blank is shell
yes
atoms are made of subatomic particles.
