Due to the difference in the electronegativities of the bonded atoms, the more electronegative atom attracts the shared pair of electrons towards itself, which increases the negative charge density around the attracting atom, consequently the other atom has less negative charge density and thus a positive charge density (relatively positive) gets generated at the donor atom.

When oppositely charged atoms stick together?

When oppositely charged atoms stick together, they are chemically bonded. Incidentally, when an atom becomes charged it is called an ion, rather than an atom, so the wording of your question is not entirely correct.


What happens to the energy level and stability of two bonded atoms when they are separated and become individual atoms?

When two atoms are bonded, they have lower energy and higher stability compared to when they are separated as individual atoms. Breaking the bond requires energy input, leading to higher energy levels and lower stability for the individual atoms.


What is the attraction that holds two nonviolently bonded atoms together?

The attraction that holds two nonviolently bonded atoms together is primarily due to electromagnetic forces. Specifically, it arises from the interactions between the positively charged nuclei of the atoms and the negatively charged electrons surrounding them. In covalent bonds, atoms share electrons, while in ionic bonds, one atom donates electrons to another, creating charged ions that attract each other. These interactions result in a stable bond that keeps the atoms together.


How do you charge atoms?

Atoms cannot be charged directly. However, they can become charged by gaining or losing electrons. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged (anion), and when it loses electrons, it becomes positively charged (cation).


What do atoms become when they lose or gain an electron?

When atoms lose or gain an electron, they become ions. If an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and is called a cation. If an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged and is called an anion.

Hydrogen bonds can form between regions of polar molecules that are?

Hydrogen bonds can form between regions of polar molecules that are partially positive and partially negative. This occurs when hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to highly electronegative atoms such as oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine interact with neighboring atoms with a partial negative charge.


A ion that contains a covalently bonded group of atoms?

An ion that contains a covalently bonded group of atoms is called a polyatomic ion. It is formed when two or more atoms are covalently bonded together and then gain or lose electrons to become charged. Polyatomic ions can have a positive or negative charge, depending on the number of electrons gained or lost.


When atoms gain or lose electrons the charged particles that result are called molecules?

Atoms that gain or lose electrons become ions, not molecules. Ions are charged particles due to an imbalance of protons and electrons. Molecules are formed when atoms are bonded together by sharing electrons.


When is a bond formed?

When a hydrogen bond is formedWhen a partially charged hydrogen atom attracts a partially negatively charged electronegative atom.Not all partially negatively charged electronegative atoms but those having high electronegativity like oxygen (O), Fluorine (F)


Can CH3COCH3 form a hydrogen bonds?

No, acetone (CH3COCH3) cannot form hydrogen bonds with itself because it does not contain any hydrogen atoms bonded directly to highly electronegative atoms such as nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine. Hydrogen bonds are formed between hydrogen atoms attached to these electronegative atoms and partially negatively charged atoms in other molecules.

How does matter become chaged?

Matter becomes charged by gaining or losing electrons. When an atom gains or loses electrons, it becomes charged and is referred to as an ion. Atoms with an excess of electrons become negatively charged, while atoms with a deficit of electrons become positively charged.

What is a polyatomic number?

There is no such thing. There are polyatomic ions, which are positively or negatively charged, covelantly bonded groups of atoms, though.


What is a polyatomic icon?

An ion is a charged particle. A polyatomic ion is a group of covalently bonded atoms that, as a whole, have a charge.
