a net charge of zero between the nucleus and the electrons in each atom. This process is either achieved by ionic bonding or covalent bonding. ionic bonding is when the electrons are taken from one atom and given to another. Covalent bonds happen when electrons are shared between the atoms.

How many atoms are in each element of NaOH?

In a molecule of NaOH, there is 1 atom of sodium (Na), 1 atom of oxygen (O), and 1 atom of hydrogen (H). So there are a total of 3 atoms in each element of NaOH.


Is it true A double bond is a bond between two atoms where each atom donates a pair of electrons.?

Each atom only donates ONE atom, so they form a pair together.


How many number of bonded atoms does H20 have?

There are two bonds but all three atoms are bonded so the answer is three.


In what type of bond are electrons shared between two atom so that each atom has full valence shell?

Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are shared between two atoms so that each atom can have a full valence shell. This sharing of electrons allows both atoms to achieve greater stability.


How many atoms is there in copper?

Copper is an element it has only one type of atom


Is iron heavier than gold?

Gold has many more protons and neutrons in the nucleus of each atom than iron does. So each gold atom weighs almost four times as much as each iron atom. The extra electrons in the gold atoms do make the atom a little bigger than an iron atom, but not a whole lot. So there are nearly as many gold atoms as iron atoms per volume, but each gold atom weighs a lot more. So gold ends up denser.


What is the ratio of atoms in table salt?

It is Sodium Chloride, so has the chemical symbol NaCl. This means that for each atom of Sodium, there is one atom of Chlorine.


What occurs during During The Dark Reactions Of Photosynthesis?

Hydrogen atoms released from water are added to carbon dioxide molecules so that carbon oxygen bonds are broken and carbon atoms can join together. Carbon dioxide consists of a carbon atom attached to two oxygen atoms. That way, a carbon atom joins two other carbon atoms. One of the hydrogen atoms joins the carbon atom and one of the hydrogen atoms joins with the oxygen atom. You end up with the carbon atom attached to four different atoms.


Do the subscripts in a chemical formula represent the relative mass of each atom in a chemical compound?

It usually represent the amount of atoms in a molecule, i.e. Na2CO3 + 2HCl --> 2NaCl + CO2 +H2O So, in the first compound, there are 2 sodium atoms, one carbon atom and 3 oxygen atoms. In water, there is one hydrogen atom and 2 oxygen atoms..


How many atoms are in halite?

Halite is sodium chloride, NaCl; NaCl has in the molecule two atoms: 1 Na atom and 1 chlorine atom.


What happens to electrons in covalent bonds?

A polar covalent bond is created when one atom in a bond is more electronegative than the other. What this means is that the electrons from that bond have a greater draw to the more electronegative atom than the other. Since electrons tend to move around quite a bit within the molecular orbitals that are formed between two atoms, what is happening to the electrons is that over time they are spending more time on the electronegative atom than on the less electronegative atom.


How many atoms present in 3MgO?

There are a total of 6 atoms present in 3MgO. This is because each formula unit of MgO consists of one magnesium atom and one oxygen atom, so for 3MgO, you would have 3 magnesium atoms and 3 oxygen atoms, totaling 6 atoms overall.
