This is called a redox reaction, where one molecule gains electrons and one molecule loses electrons. Reduction is the gain of electrons and oxidation the gain of electrons. It can be remembered as OILRIG (Oxidation Is Loss Reduction Is Gain).

What is determined by weather or not electrons are shared or transferred between two atoms?

Whether electrons are shared or transferred between two atoms is determined by the difference in electronegativity between the atoms. If the electronegativity difference is small, electrons are shared covalently, while if the difference is large, electrons are transferred to form an ionic bond.


Can a covalent bond from when electrons are transferred between 2 atoms?

No, It would be an ionic bond. For Covalent is the sharing of atoms, ionic is transferring.

Which of the following are transferred or shared when two atoms react chemically Protons neutrons electrons photons?

Protons, electrons, and photons can be transferred or shared when two atoms react chemically. Neutrons are typically not involved in chemical reactions as they are located in the nucleus and are not directly involved in forming chemical bonds.


Ions form when what is transferred between atoms?

Ions form when electrons are transferred between atoms, resulting in a difference in the number of protons and electrons. This creates ions with either a positive charge (cation) or a negative charge (anion) based on the imbalance of electrons.
