I think you mean IONS. Elements that form IONS by losing or gaining electrons, form IONIC bonds. These form when a metal reacts with a non-metal.

Which holds large numbers of different molecules together?

Chemical bonds hold large numbers of different molecules together by forming attractive forces between atoms. These bonds can be covalent, where atoms share electrons, or ionic, where electrons are transferred between atoms to create charged particles that attract each other. These interactions contribute to the stability and structure of molecules and materials.


What two elements are always involved in forming ionic bonds?

There are no two chemical elements that are alwaysinvolved in forming ionic bonds. If the questioner meant something else, a rephrasing of the question is needed.


What kind of bonds can mineral crystal contain?

Mineral crystals can contain ionic bonds, covalent bonds, or metallic bonds depending on the specific elements involved in the mineral composition. These bonds help give minerals their distinctive properties such as hardness, cleavage, and color.


Name a much weaker but important bond in living things?

the weakest bond between molecules is H-bonding. but H-bonding don't exist between atoms,it's an intermolecure force.


Water dissolves ionic compounds because water molecules?

So basically an atom of water or (H2O) is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom that are covalently bonded together to make a compound. A covalent bond is when two nonmetal elements, most commonly, two gases come together to make a compound. So water is a covalent bond because it is hydrogen bonded with oxygen which are both nonmetal elements being bonded together to form a covalent bond. There is a difference between ionic bonds and covalent bonds. The difference between an ionic bond and a covalent bond is that in a covalent bond the two or more elements that are being bonded together share electrons rather than take them like in an ionic compound. So with the fact that covalently bonded compounds share electrons in mind, electrons are not evenly distributed or shared throughout a water molecule because oxygen atoms strongly attract electrons. Because the oxygen atoms do this they pull electrons away from the hydrogen atoms giving them a partial positive charge. Now that the oxygen atom has the electrons closer to it than the other two hydrogen atoms it gives the oxygen atom a partially negative charge. This act of atoms not evenly sharing electrons is called a polar compound. What is special about compounds that are polar is that is attracts both positive and negative ions of an ionic commpund. Thats why water can dissolve ionic compounds because its polar structure.

What types of elements bond with each other?

Elements can bond with each other through ionic, covalent, or metallic bonds. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between a metal and a nonmetal, covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between two nonmetals, and metallic bonds involve the delocalization of electrons in a sea of electrons among metal atoms.


Is made two or more substances that are together in the same place but are not chemically combined?

Are you thinking of covalent bonds? Covalent bonds work to share electrons between two elements so that each may fill their valence shells/orbitals.

What are shared to form bonds when elements are combined?

Electrons, specifically valence electrons are shared when elements form bonds.


What is a substance containing two or more elements in a fixed ratio?

What are composed of 2 or more elements that have been chemically combined?

Compounds are composed of two or more elements that are chemically combined in definite proportions. The elements in a compound are held together by chemical bonds, which result in a unique set of properties different from the elements that make up the compound.


What does mean when you say bonding between elements?

In a molecule, atoms are joined together by bonds. When we say bonding, we are referring to these bonds.


What two elements combined together in propene?

Propene formula CH3-CH=CH2 in which 2 elements Carbon and Hydrogen are combined, sharing 9 covalent electron bonds


Elements that bond together?

Elements bond together through interactions between their electrons. This can happen through sharing electrons in covalent bonds, transferring electrons in ionic bonds, or through electrostatic attractions in metallic bonds. These bonding interactions help elements achieve a stable electron configuration.
