When molecules are formed atoms share or loose electrons?
To form a molecule, atoms can share, lose, and gain electrons
What happens to the metal and nonmetal atoms after the electrons have been transferred?
After electrons are transferred from metal atoms to nonmetal atoms, the metal atoms become positively charged cations due to the loss of electrons, while the nonmetal atoms become negatively charged anions because of the gain of electrons. This transfer leads to the formation of ionic bonds, resulting in the creation of ionic compounds. The newly formed cations and anions are held together by strong electrostatic forces, creating a stable structure.
Do in ionic bonding atoms loose or gain electrons?
Actually both. Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions whereas when atoms lose electrons positively charged cations are formed. Ionic bond is the force of attraction between cations and anions
The type of ion that forms when atoms gain electrons?
Atoms that gain electrons are called anions, and atoms that loose electrons are called cations
When metals react with other elements do the atoms of the metals gain or lose?
Metals are likely to make anions. So they lose electrons to get a positive charge. The other elements gain electrons and get negatively charged.
When metals react with other elements the atoms of the metals loose or gain electrons?
They will loose electrons.
When molecules are formed atoms share or loose electrons?
To form a molecule, atoms can share, lose, and gain electrons
What is a chemical bond where atoms either gain or loose electrons?
ionic bonding :]
What type of bonds are formed when metal atoms combine with nonmetal Atoms?
Ionic bonds are formed when metal atoms combine with nonmetal atoms. Metal atoms tend to lose electrons to form positive ions, while nonmetal atoms tend to gain electrons to form negative ions, resulting in the attraction between the oppositely charged ions forming the ionic bond.
Why do atoms gain loose or share electrons?
Atom loose or gain electron to make its octet complete. It is done to achieve inert state.
What happens to the metal and nonmetal atoms after the electrons have been transferred?
After electrons are transferred from metal atoms to nonmetal atoms, the metal atoms become positively charged cations due to the loss of electrons, while the nonmetal atoms become negatively charged anions because of the gain of electrons. This transfer leads to the formation of ionic bonds, resulting in the creation of ionic compounds. The newly formed cations and anions are held together by strong electrostatic forces, creating a stable structure.
How may valence electrons atoms of can nonmetals have?
Variable; a correct answer is possible only for a specified nonmetal.
Do in ionic bonding atoms loose or gain electrons?
Actually both. Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions whereas when atoms lose electrons positively charged cations are formed. Ionic bond is the force of attraction between cations and anions
Do isolated atoms form ions spontaneously?
No, the atom would have to be in an environment where it could gain or loose electrons.
What is the rule?
atoms either loose or gain a maximum of 2 valence electrons like hydrogen
The type of ion that forms when atoms gain electrons?
Atoms that gain electrons are called anions, and atoms that loose electrons are called cations
What type of atoms would typically form an ionic bond?
Atoms with a large difference in electronegativity, such as a metal and a nonmetal, typically form ionic bonds. This is because the metal atoms readily lose electrons to form positive ions, while the nonmetal atoms readily gain electrons to form negative ions, resulting in strong electrostatic attractions between the oppositely charged ions.
