What else can I help you with?
When an atom bonds the atom joins a 2nd atom to become a what?
a compound.
What is the largest between a molecule and a atom?
Moelcules are made from atoms but a large atom is very many times the size of small molecules.
Why are hydrogen bonds the strongest of the intermolecular forces?
Hydrogen bonds are the strongest intermolecular forces because they involve a hydrogen atom bonded to a highly electronegative element (such as oxygen or nitrogen). This creates a large electronegativity difference that leads to a strong attraction between the hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom on another molecule.
How many single bonds can extend from one carbon atom?
One carbon atom can form a maximum of four single bonds with other atoms.
What is the largest number of atoms a carbon atom can bond to with all triple bonds?
Carbon can only make a triple bond with 1 atom.
What accounts for hydrogen bonds for its extraordinary strength?
Bonds that make-up hydrogen bonds are polar, and therefore, very strong. This gives the hydrogen atom a positive charge that is almost half as large as that of a proton. The small size of the hydrogen atom allows the atom to come very close to unshared pair of electrons on an adjacent molecule.
Is an atom large?
An atom is very small the human eye can not see an atom that is what makes it small.
Hydrogen bonds form?
When the atom hydrogen bonds directly to a small atom with a high electronegativity such as nitrogen, oxygen and fluorine. The Hydrogen atom then has a slightly positive charge and the other atom a slightly negative charge. This causes forces of attraction between molecules which is known as hydrogen bonding.
When do ionic bonds happen?
Ionic bonds form when one atom transfers electrons to another atom to achieve a stable electron configuration. This usually happens between a metal and a nonmetal atom. Ionic bonds occur when there is a large difference in electronegativity between the atoms involved.
What are weak bonds that are not strong enough to hold atoms together to form molecules but are strong enough to form bonds within and around large molecules?
Hydrogen bonds are weak bonds that form between a hydrogen atom and a highly electronegative atom (such as oxygen or nitrogen) in a different molecule. While individually weak, hydrogen bonds collectively play important roles in stabilizing large molecules like proteins and nucleic acids.
Compare a very large and a small atom in the large atom the outermost electron is farther away from the nucleus?
yes, if by larger you mean size/volume.
How are Ionic bonds are formed between atoms that have large differences in?
Ionic bonds are formed between atoms with large differences in electronegativity, where one atom has a strong tendency to attract electrons from the other atom. This results in the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, creating positively charged cations and negatively charged anions that are then attracted to each other by electrostatic forces, forming an ionic bond.
What are O-H Bonds?
Covalent bonds between a hydrogen atom and an oxygen atom.
What is the atom as having a small positively charged nucleus surrounded by large region where there are enough electrons to make the atom neutral?
No because the electron are small and don't have enough of energy to make atom neutral
When an atom bonds the atom joins a 2nd atom to become a what?
a compound.
What is the maximum number of bonds that a carbon atom can form?
A carbon atom can form a maximum of four bonds.
What are the four types of chemical bonds?
Ionic Bonds-form when two atoms have a large difference in electronegativity. Covalent Bonds-form when two atoms have a very small difference in electronegativity. Polar Covalent Bonds- form when two elements bond with a moderate difference in electronegativity. Fall between ionic and covalent. Metallic Bonds-form in and between metals
