Question
true or false: the behavior of an atom is mostly determined by the number of electrons in its valence shell.
options: true, false.
question 9: when an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged select. when it gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged select.
question 10: chemical bonds can either be select (forming between ions of opposite charge) or select (resulting from the sharing of electrons).
question 11: covalent bonds are non - polar if the electrons are shared select and polar if the electrons are shared select. hydrogen bonds can form between the partial charges in select molecules.
Question (True/False):
The valence shell electrons determine an atom's chemical behavior (like bonding). So the statement is true.
- When an atom loses an electron, it has more protons (positive charge) than electrons, so it becomes a cation (positively charged ion).
- When an atom gains an electron, it has more electrons (negative charge) than protons, so it becomes an anion (negatively charged ion).
- Ionic bonds form between ions of opposite charge (transfer of electrons).
- Covalent bonds form from sharing electrons between atoms.
