What else can I help you with?
What is it called when you have too few electrons in an atom?
Ionization. In the issue an ion (cation) is generated.
What is important about the number of electrons in the outside surface of an atom?
It keeps the atom at a constant charge. Too little electrons means the atom is positively charged, while too many means the atom is negatively charged.
Why does an atom have to be neutral?
It would otherwise be an ion, which is just like an atom in all regards except it is missing electrons or has extras. An ion always tries to get rid of extras or gain when it has too few, because that is just how things are: it is positive and attracts negatives when it has too few, or is negative and has less attraction than one that is positive to its own electrons when it has too many.
Which electrons are the valence electrons of an atom?
The electrons farthest away from the nucleus are the valence electrons of an atom.
How many electrons does an atom of helium have atomic?
Helium atom has 2 electrons.
What is having too many electrons or too few electrons?
I have this question too.... but i have no idea what the answer is sorryyy :*

When atoms bond do they loose or gain electronss?
Both. Atoms bond because one atom has extra electrons and another atom has too few so they meet up and balance out
Having too many or too few electrons?
Too many or too few electrons creates an ion. The standard definition of an ion is any element whose charge is nonzero and there are two types: anion and cation. A cation will have a positive charge, and thus fewer electrons than normal, and an anion will have a negative charge, and thus more electrons than normal.
How do atom form chemical bond?
Around the nucleus of atoms circulate electrons. They are in shells. The electrons in empty shells are called valence shells. Now, if a shell isn't full, only partly, an atom will want to fill it. Hence, it will connect with an atom with too many electrons. Nature in general abhors energy and will always try to minimize it. It is energetically favorable for atoms with too many electrons to bond with atoms with too few in the valence orbit/shell. Sometimes it is more energetically favorable to share electrons. This type of bond is a covalent bond.
What happens when there are too few electrons?
All the atoms in the universe have a tendency to become stable by having 2 or 8 electrons in their outermost cells. So, if an atom has very few electrons i.e 1,2,3 or 4 electrons in it's outermost cell it will tend to loose electrons in order to become stable. hope it helps!
What does an ion have too many or too few of?
Electrons.
What bond forms when one atom with many electrons in its outermost orbital takes an electron from another atom which has few electrons in its outermost orbital?
ionic bond

What happens when there are too many electrons?
When there are too many electrons, an object can become negatively charged. This excess of electrons can cause repulsion between objects with the same charge, or attract objects with a positive charge. In extreme cases, such as lightning, the excess electrons can result in the discharge of electrical energy.
