What are two things that can happen when an atom forms a chemical bond?

∙ 12y ago
A chemical bond is formed when two elements combine.They could form chemical bond via an ionic bond by exchange of electrons or by covalent bond i.e. by sharing electrons.
When they are chemically bonded, a new substance is formed whose properties may or may not be similar to the constituent elements. For example :- H2 is a gas which burns and O2 is a gas which causes combustion but they combine to form water which extinguishes fire.
Also, when a chemical bond is formed, some energy might be released to the surroundings showing the reaction is exothermic or some energy might be absorbed showing that it is an endothermic reaction.
Also,a decrease in the concentration of reactants is observed and an increase in conc. of products is observed.

∙ 13y agoIt depends which atoms are bonding because the type of atoms determine the type of bond they form.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoIonic bonding involves the transfer of electrons between atoms; covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons between atoms.

∙ 11y agoThe atom can become an ion and form an ionic bond with another ion of opposite charge, or the atom can share electrons and form a covalent bond.

What part of an atom forms a chemical bond?
The electrons (especially the valence electrons)
Can an atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons form chemical bonds with other atoms?
The atom that has 6 protons is carbon, and carbon forms lots of chemical bonds with other atoms.
What is the most versatile atom on earth?
The most versatile atom is carbon. Because it forms four chemical bonds, the greatest number that any element can form, and because it does so with a lower bond strength than silicon, carbon forms the greatest variety of chemical compounds and does the greatest variety of things. It is generally believed that life is impossible without carbon (which is why, on Star Trek, human beings are often referred to as "carbon based life forms").
What chemical bonds would you find in pure water?
In each water molecule each hydrogen atom forms a polar covalent bond with the hydrogen atom.
What is the formula of the compound formed by the condensation of two disachorides?
the chemical reaction of the amino acid forms when two atom are created to become a carbohydrates which forms a nuclear reactant
How is the chemical stability of a mineral is related to the temperature at which the mineral forms?
The strength of the minerals chemical bond between its atom determines its chemical stability .
A chemical bond forms when electrons are transferred from one atom to another is a an?
Ionic Bond

The atom that has 6 protons is carbon, and carbon forms lots of chemical bonds with other atoms.
What is the importance of the electrons?
The valence electrons of an atom determine how the element forms chemical bonds with other elements to form chemical compounds.
What is a chemical bond that forms when electrons are transfered from one atom to another is called?
ionic bond
What do argon electrons do when argon forms a chemical bond?
they share electrons with the other atom they're combining with

How did Einstein split the atom?
Albert Einstein did not split the atom. He did work that predicted what would happen when an atom was split, among many other things.

the chemical reaction of the amino acid forms when two atom are created to become a carbohydrates which forms a nuclear reactant
How does an atom of oxygen get converted into oxide ion when any carbon atom is close to it and vice verse?
This does not happen. Carbon forms covalent bonds with oxygen, not ionic bonds.
