In general, electrons do not stick together well at all. In fact each electron repels every other electron. Electrons pack into high densities in atoms because each electron is attracted to the positive charge of the atom's nucleus more strongly than it is repelled by the other electrons in the atom.

Why does wood not have any free electrons?

Wood does not have any free electrons. wood is made by organic molecules (Compensation of carbon, Hydrogen and oxygen...etc). Their electrons are well bonded with their molecule's protons. So wood does not have any free electronics. Selvendra +91 9601293378


How do two atoms of oxygen bind together?

Two atoms of oxygen bind together through a covalent bond, where they share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Each oxygen atom has six outer electrons in its valence shell and needs to gain two more electrons to have a full octet, so they share two electrons with each other, forming a double bond.


How many electrons does Ne2 plus have?

Ne2+ has a total of 8 electrons. Each Ne atom contributes 5 electrons (Ne's atomic number is 10), and the +2 charge on the ion means it has lost 2 electrons. So, 2 Ne atoms together as Ne2+ would have a total of 8 electrons.


What is Group of two or more atoms held together from a covalent bond?

The question is worded badly so I'll give the answer to two difrent questions. A group of two or more atoms bonded together to form a covalent bond is a molecule. But if there are far more, where the molecule gets ectremely complex, it's called a polymer. The reason WHY they form a covalent bond would be because they're a metal & a nonmetal. Metals have less than 5 valence electrons so therefor they want to lose electrons. Whereas a non-metal has more then 5 valence electrons so it wants to GAIN electrons. So for them to both have full outer shells the metal(s) will give the non-metal(s) their valence electrons, createing a covalent bond.


What are two ways electrons can be gained or lost from an atom?

An electron can be gained or lost from an atom for two reasons: 1. A random number of atoms can be close together will have electrons bumping into each other. Since all electrons have a negative charge, they will have magnetic effects on one another, and will push eachother of the outer shell of their atoms and into different ones. 2.Two or more atoms can bond together so that both atoms in turn have a balanced number of electrons.

How does water stick together so well?

The property of surface tension causes water to occupy the least possible surface area, or to put it simply, "stick together".


Is a stick a conductor or a insulators?

An insulator for heat and (less so) for electricity. A conductor for sound and vibration.


Does cotton felt?

No, not in the same way that wool felts. Cotton lacks the 'hooks' that wool contains, so cotton doesn't 'stick together' as well as does wool.


Why is O2 bonded together?

Because each O has 6 valence electrons and they each want 2 more. So, they get together and they share the 2 electrons making it O2, i.e. two oxygen atoms bonded together by sharing 2 electrons.

When a shirt and a sock from the dryer stick together what does this tell you about them?

When clothes are in the dryer and they tumble they create friction causing the electrons of an atom to build up on the sock , creating static electricity which creates a negative charge. The shirt is still uncharged, so when they come out of the dryer the socks negative charge attracts the protons in the shirt making them stick together. It is also known as induction.


Does north stick to north for magnets?

No. The north sides of two magnets do not stick together because they have the same polarity. The north and south sides of a magnet, however, do stick together because they are on opposite poles and, pertaining to magnets, opposites attract. actually if you push two repelling magnets together so they touch they will stick, without flipping, not entirely sure why they don't repel but it seems that the magnetic fields somehow overlap, so that within the repelling field there is a small of the attracting field, i know this isn't true of the attracting side because the magnets stick together regardless, but on the repelling side when they touch they will stick
