What else can I help you with?
Electrons can bond with other elements using what shell?
The outer or valence shell
Is chemical bond and valence electron similar?
No, they arent. Valence electrons are the amount of electrons the element has in its outermost shell. Electrons dont bond, they can either be shared or transferred. An ionic bond transfers electrons and a covalent bond shares electrons.
A compound composed of two elements that share valence electrons?
A compound composed of two elements that share valence electrons is called a covalent compound. In covalent compounds, atoms share valence electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Examples include water (H2O) and methane (CH4).
What kind of bond shares valence electrons?
Covalent bond :)
Why does carbon bond with so many different elements?
Carbon has the unique ability to form four strong covalent bonds due to its four valence electrons. This allows it to bond with a variety of other elements, creating a wide range of organic compounds with diverse structures and properties. Additionally, carbon's small size and intermediate electronegativity make it compatible with many different elements.
Why does carbon bond with so many elements?
it has 4 valence electrons
Do valence electrons hold atoms together?
no, chemical bond does
Electrons can bond with other elements using what shell?
The outer or valence shell
What attracions holds together in a covalent bond?
A covalent bond occurs when atoms share valence electrons.
How does the number of valence electrons affect an element?
The number of valence electrons determines an element's reactivity and ability to form chemical bonds. Elements with a full valence shell are stable and less likely to react, while elements with incomplete valence shells are more reactive and tend to form bonds to achieve stability.
Why do atoms of different elements bond together?
They like to have full valence shells.
How do elements combine together?
Two elements combine together by sharing electrons to form a bond.
How are atoms in molecules and compounds joined together?
By a Chemical Bond, Bonded at the Valence electrons
Why do scientists group elements with similar amounts of neutrons?
They don'tThey group elements with the same number of valence electrons.The valence electrons of an element determine how that element bond and how many bonds it forms.So elements with the same number of valence electrons tend to have similar chemical properties.
Is an electron a type of chemical bond?
No. Electrons are part of the atom. For example, when two atoms come together and one has 6 valence electrons and the other has 2 valence electrons, the atom with the 2 valence electrons might get bonded to the other atom with 6 valence electrons because the atom with 6 valence electrons wants to have 8 valence electrons to fill its outer shell. You might think electrons are bonds, they are not. They are what cause atoms to bond but are not bonds.
What electrons are in a chemical bond?
Valence electrons.
When a covalent bond is formed what kind of electrons is used in the bond?
In a covalent bond, the electrons used are typically the valence electrons of the atoms involved. These are the outermost electrons. Each atom contributes one or more valence electrons to form a shared pair in the bond.
