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.

Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
Atoms typically do not lose protons because that would change the identity of the element. Instead, atoms can lose or gain electrons to form ions with a different charge. Protons are not generally lost by atoms in chemical reactions.
What give or take electrons?
Atoms can gain or lose electrons to become charged particles called ions. When atoms gain electrons, they become negatively charged ions, while atoms that lose electrons become positively charged ions. This transfer of electrons allows atoms to achieve a more stable state by filling their outer electron shell.
When atoms gain or lose electrons they become negatively or positively charged They are known as?
When atoms gain or lose electrons, they become negatively charged if they gain electrons (anions) or positively charged if they lose electrons (cations). These charged atoms are known as ions.
What do atoms form?
Atoms can form molecules when they bond together. These molecules can be simple, like water (H2O), or more complex, like DNA. Atoms can also combine to form solids, such as metals, or crystalline structures like salt.
If silicon has four electrons in its outer energy level what type of bond will silicon form with?
A Covalent bond, because it takes too much energy to gain/lose more than two electrons, thus leaving the option of sharing electrons forming a covalent bond.
What chemical bond occurs when atoms lose gain or share electrons?
When atoms lose and gain electrons, an ionic bond will form. When atoms share electrons, a covalent bond will form.
Do atoms of a covalent bond lose or gain elecrons?
do atoms of a covalent bond lose r share electrons
Do atoms join by a covalent bond do not gain or lose electrons?
Atoms that join by a covalent bond share electrons but do not gain or lose them. In a covalent bond, the electrons are shared between the atoms, creating a stable electron configuration for both atoms involved.
What forms when atoms gain electrons Lose electrons?
An ionic bond.
Can atoms lose or gain atoms to form elements?
No. Atoms of an element lose or gain electrons to form ions.
What causes a chemical bond to?
Bonding occurs when atoms gain,lose,or share electrons in their outer energy level.
Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
Atoms typically do not lose protons because that would change the identity of the element. Instead, atoms can lose or gain electrons to form ions with a different charge. Protons are not generally lost by atoms in chemical reactions.
When atoms lose or gain electrons they from?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
What is a meaningful sentence for ionic bond?
In the last lesson we saw that atoms can lose or gain electrons to form ionic bonds.
What cause a chemical bond to form?
Bonding occurs when atoms gain,lose,or share electrons in their outer energy level.
Atoms gain or lose?
they can do both
What is the name of the bond that takes place when the atom's electrons give or gain electrons?
Ionic bonding- the transfer of electrons from one atom to another. This results in ions, as the atoms which gain/lose electrons now have a charge.
