the outermost electrons of an atom. these are called valence electrons. atoms are also grouped in the Periodic Table based on their valence electrons. to complete a full outermost shell there must be 8 electrons. hydrogen has 1 valence electron. and oxygen has 7. they are able to bond together because of how many valence electrons they have.

What happens to the properties of the atom when it forms an ionic bond with another atom?
Charge is decreased in one, and increased in another.
What kind of bond is formed when atoms steal an electron from another atom?
An ionic bond.
What is key in determining whether an atom will form a bond with another atom?
Valence electrons
Can an atom bond to another atom under the right conditions?
Yes, Atoms bond to each other all the time. That is how molecules form.
When an atom combines with another what kind of configuration do they have?
They have a covalent bond
What bond results from the transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.?
ionic bond
What type of bond is formed when one atom transfers an electron to another atom?
An Ionic Bond
What bond is formed when a pair of electrons is donated to another atom?
The transfer of an electron from one atom to another results in an ionic bond.
What do you call a bond that forms when electrons are transferred from one atom to another?
ionic bond
What holds atom in covalent compound?
Each atom in a covalent bond shares at least one electron with another electron of another atom to maintain the covalent bond.
What is the name given to the bond that is formed when electrons are transferred from one atom to another atom?
an ionic bond
A(n) bond results from the transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom?
That would be ... an ionic bond....
When one atom has a stronger attraction for shared electrons in a bond than another atom what type of bond is formed?
covalent bond
What is bonds that forms when electrons are transferred from one atom to another?
A electron bond is a bond that forms when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, When a electron bond forms the electrons are transferred to one atom back.
What is the bond that forms when electrons from one atom to another?
ionic bond
What part of an atom is used to tell how one atom will bond with another atom?
Electron
A type of bond in which electrons are transferred?
An ionic bond results when there is a transfer of one or more electrons from atom to another atom.
