When a compound donates electrons the compound becomes what?
if a neutral atom donates an electron it will gain a positive charge. This is due to electrons having a negative charge.
Ammonium nitrate polarity?
It is considered an Ionic bond. Ammonium donates an electron and nitrate accepts an electron. By itself, ammonium ion is a molecular compound and the nitrate ion is a molecular compound, but when combined they are considered to be ionic. Only molecular compounds can be covalent bonded and are designated: covalent, polar, or nonpolar. The difference between polar and nonpolar depends on the difference of electronegativities of the atoms present.
Lithium has one valence electron Bromine has seven valence electrons How might they form a chemical bond?
lithium donates an electron to bromine
Does sodium chloride share electrons?
Actually, sodium almost donates an electron to chlorine in NaCl.
When sodium forms an ionic bond with chlorine the sodium atom donates an electron to chlorine and becomes a 19 charged ion?
No! A sodium atom is initially electrically neutral. When it donates one electron to a chlorine atom, the sodium atom becomes a singly charged cation.
Scientists described a base as a compound that donates an electron pair?
The Lewis Theory describes a base as a compound that donates an electron pair. By donating the electron pair there is a covalent bond.
Is cations the same thing as covalent bonds?
No. A cation is the element becoming ion that donates an electron to an ionic bond( generally metals ). Covalent bonds are shared electron bonds.
How many covalent bonds between carbon and hydrogen?
There is only one covalent bond exists between carbon and hydrogen.carbon donates only one electron to hydrogen and even hydrogen has capacity to accept only one electron.
How many covalent bond does carbon form?
Carbon can form 4 covalent bonds as in methane. A covalent bond is formed by sharing of 2 electrons. as in methane 4 electron from carbon forms abond with 4hydrogen atom which donates 4 electron to form 4 covalent bonds
Does NaCl have an ionic or covalent bond?
Ionic. The sodium donates and electron to the chlorine so they both end up with outer shells that are full.
If an atom donates or accepts an electron what is it considered?
If an atom donates or accepts an electron it is considered an ion.
What is involved in an covalent bond?
there are two types of bonds, ionic and covalent. In an ionic bond, which is a compound, one of the atoms donates one or more electron(s) to another atom to make both of their valence shells full. In a covalent bond, when two or more atoms pair up, they share (an) electron(s) to make their valence shells full.Refrenced: My notes
What is the difference between the electron arrangement of ionic bonds and covalent bond?
With an ionic bond, one type of atom, a metal, donates one or more electrons to another type of atom, a nonmetal. With covalent bonding, atoms share electrons.
Is BF4- a coordinate covalent?
Yes, F- donates a pair of lone e- to BF3
In ionic bonding the metal donates its valence electron to the?
The metal gives its electron(s) to a nonmetal.
What is the meaning of electrophilic?
electrophilic addition reaction
What makes acid an acid?
There are a few ways to define an acid: 1- It increases the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration to a solution 2- It donates a proton 3- It accepts an electron pair to form a covalent bond.
