yse it is one kind of electron bond. Superoxide (O-)2 radical is formed by the electrron sharing between two O- each contains lack of one electron to complete their octate of final shell........so this is covalent bond.

What do atoms gain or lose when they bond?

If the chemical bond is ionic, an electron is gained or lost. If it is covalent, the electron is shared equally; if it is polar covalent, the electron is shared unequally. If the bond is intermolecular, no parts of the atom are actually shared, gained, or lost; the atom itself is simply attracted to other atoms.


Does hexane have any unshared electrons?

A hydrogen atom can lose its only electron in an ionic bond. The atom would have no electrons. Actually the correct answer is No.


What is the electron pair geometry for so3?

The molecular geometry of the AsO2- ion is bent (because of the lone electron pair with the central arsenic atom, making the O-As-O bond angle very obtuse) but its electron domain geometry is trigonal planar because there are three domains, with a 120 deg. angle between them.


What subatomic particles determine the charge of an atom?

The electron. The electron is has a negative charge. The more electrons that are in a valence shell of the atom the more negative the atom will be.


A picometer pm is equal to 1 multiplied by 10 to the negative 12 power m. OH bond lengths in water are 95.8 pm while S-H bond lengths in dihydrogen sulfide are 135 pm. Why are S-H bond lengths longer?

A picometer (pm) is equal to 1 x 10^-12 m. The O-H bond lengths in water are 95.8 pm,while S-H bond lengths in dihydrogen sulfide are 135 pm. Why are S-H bonds longer than O-H bonds? Is it because Sulfurs mass is greater than Oxygens mass? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Oxygen = 15.99 Sulfur = 32.06

What bond forms when an electron is lost?

Generally, the transfer of an electron from one atom to another is known as an Ionic bond. The electron giving up its electron is the 'donor,' while the receiving electron is the 'acceptor.'

The difference between bonded and lone pair is that a bond pair is composed of two electron that are in a bond whereas lone pair is composed of two electron that is not a bond.


Why is K2O2 possible and KO not?

Potassium peroxide is an inorganic compound with the molecular formula K2O2. It is formed as potassium reacts with oxygen in the air, along with potassium oxide (K2O) and potassium superoxide (KO2). O^- does not exist; O^2- is the monoatomic form of the oxide ion; peroxide is [O-O]^2- (O-O) single bond, superoxide [O-O]^- (bond order =1.5) both are formed by adding two and one electron to O=O, respectively. Bonding best described using MO theory so not suitable at your level.
