Ionic bond; ionic bonds occur when an element, mainly a metal, loses its electron ( to become positively charged) to an other element, mainly a nonmetal, ( to become negatively charged), to form an ionic compound.

For example :-

Na + Cl = NaCl

How do atoms interact and create chemical bonds?

Chemical bonds are formed by the sharing or donating of electrons. The electrons that atoms use to make chemical bonds are the outermost electrons, also known as valence electrons.


What chemical changes involve breaking and making chemical bonds?

Breaking of bonds but also formation of new bonds.


What kind of bonds form when atoms steal electrons?

This is an ionic bond.


What part of an atom forms a chemical bond?

The electrons (especially the valence electrons)


What can be shared in chemical bonds?

Electrons are shared in chemical bonding.


What particles play roles in creating chemical bonds?

Electrons are the particles involved in chemical bonds.


The three main types of chemical bonds are?

The three main types of chemical bonds are ionic bonds, covalent bonds, and metallic bonds. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between atoms, covalent bonds involve sharing electrons between atoms, and metallic bonds occur in metals where electrons are delocalized.


Can chemical bonds be produced by losing electrons losing nuetrons transferring electrons sharing electrons or gaining electrons?

Chemical bonds can be only produced by gaining, losing or sharing electrons. If a compound is formed by losing or gaining electrons, it is called an ionic bond and if by sharing electrons, it is called a covalent bond.


What electrons are used to make bonds?

Valence electrons are used to make bonds. These are the outermost electrons of an atom, which are involved in the formation of chemical bonds with other atoms.


When atoms transfer or share electrons they form a chemical?

What are chemical bonds that share electrons between atoms?

Covalent bonds are chemical bonds where atoms share electrons. This sharing of electrons allows atoms to achieve a more stable electron configuration. Covalent bonds can form between two nonmetals or a nonmetal and a metalloid.


Which electrons in an atom make a chemical bonds?

Valence electrons are the electrons in an atom that are involved in chemical bonding. These electrons are located in the outermost energy level of the atom and determine the atom's reactivity and ability to form bonds with other atoms.
