What does joined mean?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Atoms form bonds by sharing electrons or gaining or losing electrons to other atoms.

For example:

Carbon forms bonds by sharing four electrons with other atoms.

Sodium forms bonds by losing an electron to another atom - that makes sodium positive and the atom such as chlorine that gains the electron positive - so a bond is formed.

Chemically joined means that bonds are formed between atoms.

Who city is the capital of Belgium and the seat of the European Union?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The capital of Belgium of course is Brussels. To be more precise, it is actually called "Brussel" in its Flemish name, which is its rightful name. Note that the French derivative name "Bruxelles" reflects its origin : Bruxelles was derived from the Dutch name "Broekzele". "Broek" in Dutch means, loosely, "swamp". This is because the oldest part of Brussel originally was built on a swamp.
