No - one atom provides both electrons for the covalent bond. eg when ammonia (NH3) forms an ammonium ion, the nitrogen in ammonia provides 2 unbonded valence electrons. These form the covalent bond between the hydrogen ion (H+) and the nitrogen which becomes an ammonium ion - NH4+
What else can I help you with?
What is a combination of atoms that are bonded together either by sharing or transferring electrons?
compound
Are electrons in ionic crystals tightly bound?
Atoms are bonded in ionic crystals.
Are monatomic ions covalently bonded atoms that have either gained or lost electrons?
No. Monatomic means there is only a single atom, this cannot be covalently bonded as this implies there are two or more atoms. Yes they have either gained or lost electrons.
What holds covalently bonded atoms together and what are the properties of molecular compounds?
In a covalent bond the electrons are shared between atoms.
How are bonded compounds similar?
Bonded compounds of the same molecule are for most purposes identical. Bonded compounds of different molecules in that they share or trade electrons of their constituant atoms.
What are donated or shared when two atoms form a bond?
When two atoms form a bond, electrons are donated or shared. In an ionic bond, one atom donates electrons to the other, while in a covalent bond, electrons are shared between the atoms.
When atoms share electrons how are they bonded?
covalent bonds share electrons
Are the atoms in one water molecule covalently bonded to atoms in a neighbouring water molecule?
No, the atoms within a given water molecule are covalently bonded to each other, but the molecules are not covalently bonded to other water molecules. Instead they have what is called a coordinate covalent bond. In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons. In a coordinate covalent bond, there is no sharing of electrons but there are regions of electric charge (water molecules have a positive and a negative end to them due to the pattern in which the electrons are distributed) and that causes an electrostatic attraction.
Definition of bonded atom?
A bonded atom is an atom that is linked to another atom or atoms through the sharing or transfer of electrons, forming a chemical bond. These bonds can be covalent, where electrons are shared, or ionic, where electrons are transferred from one atom to another. Bonded atoms together form molecules or compounds.
What is a coordinate covalent bond?
A coordinate covalent bond is when two atoms have a covalent bond where the two electrons that are shared by the atoms in the bond come from only one of the atoms. This bond does not have any different properties than a polar covalent bond it is just named differently to show that the electrons came from an atom with a lone pair. This occurs when a Lewis base donates electrons to a Lewis acid.
How are molecules bonded?
Molecules are bonded through the sharing or transfer of electrons between atoms. Covalent bonding occurs when atoms share electrons, while ionic bonding happens when electrons are transferred from one atom to another. These bonds create stable arrangements of atoms, forming the molecules we observe in nature.
What is the structure of coordinate covalent bond in nitric acid?
It would've been easier if I could draw the structure or paste, but since it is not supported, I shall explain. One of the oxygen atoms is bonded to the nitrogen by a double bond. The second oxygen is bonded to the nitrogen and a hydrogen by single bonds. The last oxygen is bonded to the nitrogen by a coordinate bond.
What happends to electrons in a colvalent bond?
In a covalent bond, electrons are shared between atoms to form a stable molecule. These shared electrons move between the nuclei of the bonded atoms, creating a strong bond that holds the atoms together. The shared electrons are attracted to both nuclei, thus keeping the atoms in close proximity to each other.
What is a combination of atoms that are bonded together either by sharing or transferring electrons?
compound
When compounds form what is one result for the atoms that bonded?
It Has An Stable Arrangements Of Electrons
Are electrons in ionic crystals tightly bound?
Atoms are bonded in ionic crystals.
What term is used to describe the sharing of valence electrons between two or more atoms?
When atoms share electrons as opposed to transferring them, the atoms are covalently bonded.
