Ions and Ionic bonds When these two types of atoms combine,electrons are transferred from one type of atom to the other.

The transfer make both types of atoms more stable

What are the two ways nuclear energy can be released?

Fusion (combining light atoms into heavier atoms), and fission (splitting heavy atoms).


Does whether or not charges will move in a material depend partly on how tightly they are held in the atoms of the material?

It depends on whether the charges are free to move. There are two ways in which charge can move through a substance. Ionic substances are made of positive and negative ions. In a solid they have fixed positions, but in liquids and gases they can move around. Ions are atoms (or groups of atoms) which have gained or lost electrons. How tightly their electrons are held has no effect here as it's the whole ion which moves. The second situation where charges can move is when electrons are in delocalized bonds. In most substances the electrons are in orbitals associated with one atom or a small group of atoms. In metals, some electrons are in large orbitals which are shared by all the atoms, so the electrons (which are charged) can move freely through the whole metal. In this situation, the delocalized electrons can be thought of as not held by individual atoms, but they are still held by the assemblage of atoms. So the assertion in the question has elements of being right, but it's not the degree to which the electrons are held, but whether or not they are delocalized.

What are the three ways that atoms can bond with each other describe how each of these happen?

Ionic bond where electrons are transferred to form ions that attract by electrostatic charge Covalent bond where electrons are shared by both atoms Metallic bond where electrons are free to move around a lattice of metal atoms


How can you predict how atoms will combine to form a molecule?

You can predict how atoms will combine to form a molecule because molecules always arrange their atoms in the same proportions because atoms bond together in predictable ways. :)


What are the two ways that a chemical bond may form?

The ways that a chemical bond to form is for the atoms to either lose or gain their valence electrons.


Why do some atoms form positive ions and others form negative ions?

It is a matter of how full an atom's outer or valence shell of electrons is. For most atoms, the most stable setup is one with a full shell of 8 valence electrons, and an atom will gain or lose electrons to achieve this. For atoms with close to 8 valence electrons, such a chlorine (7 valence electrons, it is generally easier to gain electrons and thus become negatively charged. For atoms with few valence electrons, such as sodium (1 valence electron), it is easier to lose electrons and go down to the next lowest shell, which is already full.

What are two ways that's electrons form chemical bonds between atoms?

1. ionic bonding. An atom either takes an electron making it an anion or gives away an electron forming a cation. Either way, the atom becomes an ion. 2. Covalent bonding. Atoms share electrons. Ions are normally not formed.


Does the acid increase the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution?

The pH increases. There are two ways to think about this. First, adding hydroxide ions is the same as adding a base, and a base will cause the pH of a solution to become more basic, i.e. increase. Second, hydroxide ions will react with hydrogen ions in the solution to neutralize them, decreasing the concentration of hydrogen ions. Since the pH scale is a negative logarithmic scale, a decrease in the concentration of hydrogen ions means an increase in pH.


How are ionic bond and covalent bond similar?

They all bond atoms together. They all do it in different ways. Metallic bonds involve ions in a sea of electrons, Ionic bonds are between ions of opposite charges and covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons
