No. However, covalent bonds share electrons between two atoms. In an ionic bond, electrons are either gained or lost forming ions.

Which is the only subatomic particle that is directly involved in the chemical reactions between atoms?

An electron, it plays a part in forming/breaking all proper chemical bonds (there are other types of bonds but they don't really cause chemical reactions and as such are rather boring)


Difference between physical change and chemical change?

First let me define covalent and non-covalent bonds.Covalent bonds are bonds BETWEEN the atoms of a chemical - the atoms share electrons.Noncovalent bonds are the interactions between atoms (and chemicals) that do NOT involve sharing of electrons. (hydrophobic, hydrophilic, and ionic bonds are non-covalent bonds)Physical Change: breaking wood in half, melting ice, deflating a balloon, heating/cooling something (burning NOT included), dissolving something (as long as it does not react with solvent). Physical changes do not make or break covalent bonds. Physical changes only break/make non-covalent bonds (such as hydrophobic, ionic or hydrogen bonds).Chemical Change: burning something, changing the actual chemical makeup in any way - usually by reactions like redox (reduction-oxidation reactions), decomposition and combustion reactions among others. Chemical changes do make and/or break covalent bonds. If the breaking and/or making of covalent bonds occurs - the change is chemical - since you are actually changing the chemical into something new.


How the chemical stability of a mineral is affected by the bonding of the atoms in a mineral?

the chemical stability of minerals is depedent on the strength of the chemical bonds between atoms in the mineral.


What holds atoms together in molecules?

Chemical bonds. For example, with ionic bonds it is the attraction of opposite charges. With covalent bonds it is the sharing of electrons.

How are atoms held together in molecules?

Atoms are held together in molecules by chemical bonds, which are formed when atoms share or transfer electrons to achieve a stable configuration. The most common types of chemical bonds are covalent bonds, where atoms share electrons, and ionic bonds, where atoms transfer electrons. These bonds create a strong attraction between the atoms, holding them together in a stable structure.


What are chemical bonds that share electrons between atoms?

Covalent bonds are chemical bonds where atoms share electrons. This sharing of electrons allows atoms to achieve a more stable electron configuration. Covalent bonds can form between two nonmetals or a nonmetal and a metalloid.


A chemical bond that forms when atoms share electrons is an?

covalent bonds always share electrons.


What hold combinations of atoms together in molecules?

Chemical bonds hold combinations of atoms together in molecules. These bonds form when atoms share, donate, or receive electrons to achieve a stable arrangement. The most common types of chemical bonds are covalent bonds, ionic bonds, and metallic bonds.

How are atoms in a compound held together?

Atoms in a compound are held together by chemical bonds, which are formed when atoms share or transfer electrons to achieve a stable configuration. These bonds can be covalent, where atoms share electrons, or ionic, where electrons are transferred between atoms.

What is a group of atoms that are held together by the energy of chemical bonds?

Molecule is a group of atoms. They are held by chemical bonds.


How does chemical energy hold molecules together?

Chemical energy is stored in the bonds between atoms in molecules. These bonds form when atoms share or transfer electrons, which results in a stable configuration for the atoms involved. This stored chemical energy holds the atoms together in the molecule.


Most chemical bonds are what?

Most chemical bonds are either ionic bonds, where atoms transfer electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, or covalent bonds, where atoms share electrons to achieve stability.
