How do atoms join to together to make different substances?

There are two different types of bonds when atoms join together. Covalent bonds are formed when atoms "share" electrons. Ionic bonds are formed when an atom gives up its electrons to another to form a bond.


When electrons are shared between atoms of two different elements what compounds are formed?

Covalent


How do different types of atoms bond together to form molecules?

Atoms bond together to form molecules through the sharing or transfer of electrons. Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons, while ionic bonds are formed when atoms transfer electrons. These bonds create stable structures known as molecules.


Do ions have more electrons than the atoms from which they were formed?

of course, ions are formed by loosing (cations) or gaining (anions) electrons. anions have more electrons than the atom from which it is formed.


How is covalent bonding differant to ionic bonding?

ionic bond is formed by the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to the other covalent bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between two atoms


Is it true when electrons are transferred between two atoms a covalent bond is formed.?

The covalent bond is formed by sharing electrons.


What type of bond formed by a transfer of electrons?

This is called an ionic bond.


What is formed when atoms share stabilizing electrons?

Bonds are formed on sharing electrons. Covalent bonds are formed.


What kind of chemical bond is formed when electrons are transferred from atoms to atoms?

A covalent bond is formed when electrons are transferred from atom to atom.


When electrons are shared between Atoms what kind of bond is formed?

Covalent bonds and dative (coordinate) bonds are formed are formed by sharing electrons between the bonding atoms.


When different atoms share their utter most electrons?

A covalent (polar or non-polar) bond is formed


When a bond is formed using electrons from two different atoms?

This can be either an ionic bond forming an ionic compound, or a covalent bond, forming a molecular compound. Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, and covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between atoms.
