Atoms join so that each atom will have?
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.
Type of bonding water molecules exhibit?
Within the molecule itself, water exhibits ionic bonding. Between the water molecules, there is hydrogen bonding.
What is the importance of valence electrons in the organization of the periodic table?
The importance of valence electrons is that atoms in the same group ("groups" in the periodic table are the vertical columns- for example, nickel and platinum are in the tenth column; therefore, in the same group). Atoms of elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons, so they have similar properties. Hope that helped with your homework! ;D
Compare the three types of bonds based on what happens to the valence electrons of the atoms?
In covalent bonding the valence electrons are shared across the orbitals, in ionic bonding the electrons move from one atom's orbital to another. In metallic bonding the valence electrons are delocalised and free to move within the lattice.
Look up the term electronegativity and explain how electronegativity can help determine the type of chemical bonds that exist in a compound?
Nonpolar Covalent: This type of bond occurs when there is equal, or near equal sharing (between the two atoms) of the electrons in the bond. Molecules such as Cl2, H2 and F2 are the usual examples. Textbooks typically use a maximum difference of 0.0 - 0.4 to indicate nonpolar covalent bonds.Polar Covalent: This type of bond occurs when there is unequal sharing of the electrons between the atoms. Molecules such as NH3 and H2O are the usual examples. The typical rule is that bonds with an electronegativity difference than between 0.5 and 1.7 are considered polar.III. Ionic: This type of bond occurs when there is complete transfer of the electrons in the bond. This bond does not contain atoms at all, it consists of two ions. Substances such as NaCl and MgCl2 are common examples. Generally, electronegativity differences of 1.8 or greater create ionic bonds. Hope this is of help.Denise (Galway, Irl.)
What type of bonding ivolves the sharing of electrons?
Covalent bonds are bonds formed by the sharing of electrons.
What type of bond involved sharing electrons?
Covalent bonding.
What type of bond shares electrons to fill the outermost energy level?
The sharing of electrons occurs in covalent bonding.
Ammonia (NH3) involves an unequal sharing of electrons between nitrogen and three hydrogen atoms. What type of bonding does ammonia have?
Ammonia (NH3) involves an unequal sharing of electrons between nitrogen and three hydrogen atoms. What type of bonding does ammonia have?
What is the sharing of electrons occurs in what type of bond?
Electrons are shared in a type of bond known as covalent. This type of bond is also considered a chemical bond.
Ammonia involves an unequal sharing of electrons between nitrogen and three hydrogen atoms What type of bonding does ammonia have?
Ammonia's bonding is a polar covalent bond.
Ammonia involves an unequal sharing of electrons between nitrogen and thre hydrogen atoms what type of bonding does ammonia have?
Ammonia's bonding is a polar covalent bond.
A bond formed when atoms share electrons is called?
covalent bond (There is also metallic bonding, which is many, many atoms sharing an electron, not just neighboring electrons.)
What type of bonds form as the result of electron sharing?
When electrons are shared in two or more different atoms, it is known as the scientific term, Convalent Bonding. When electrons and given and taken in, otherwise known as tranferring electrons from one atom or another, is called Ionic Bonding.
What type of bonding involves the sharing of electrons?
Covalent bonding.
What type of electrons are available for bonding?
These are the valence electrons.
What type of bonding involves donation of electrons?
ionic bonding
