What else can I help you with?
Why do you think atoms lose electrons to or gain electrons from other atoms?
to become stable
How many other pairs of atoms can carbon share its electrons with?
a carbon atom can share electrons with up to four other atoms.
Which part of an atom determines how it will react with other atoms?
The outermost electrons, located in the atom's electron cloud, determine how it will react with other atoms. These electrons are involved in chemical reactions as they interact with electrons from other atoms to form chemical bonds.
What determines whether or not an atom reacts with other atoms is it the electrons on the first shell or the second?
It is predominantly the electrons on the outermost shell (valence electrons) of an atom that determine its reactivity with other atoms. These valence electrons are involved in forming chemical bonds with other atoms.
How can atoms combine with other atoms?
By sharing electrons in covalent bonds or by transferring electrons in ionic bonds

How many electrons must the atoms of S share with other atoms in covalent bonding to achieve an octet of electrons?
two electrons
Do atoms of nonmetals usually lose electrons when they combine with other atoms?
No, atoms of nonmetals usually gain electrons when they combine with other atoms. Nonmetals have a tendency to attract electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, typically by forming covalent bonds with other nonmetals or by gaining electrons to form anions.
What part of atom are responsible for how they interact with other atoms?
The electrons in an atom are responsible for how they interact with other atoms. Electrons are negatively charged particles that determine the chemical behavior of an atom as they are involved in forming chemical bonds with other atoms.
What type of electron is available to form bonds?
Valence electrons, which are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom, are available to form bonds with other atoms. These electrons are involved in the formation of chemical bonds.
Do ion share electrons with other atoms?
Ions do not share electrons with other atoms. Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Positive ions (cations) lose electrons, while negative ions (anions) gain electrons.
What happen to carbon atoms valence electrons when it bonds with other atoms?
When carbon atoms bond with other atoms, they share or transfer valence electrons to complete their outer electron shell. This sharing or transferring of electrons creates chemical bonds with other atoms, allowing carbon to form various compounds essential for life.
What electrons are the reactive particles of the atoms?
The Outermost Electrons are the reactive particles of the atoms.
