Question

what happens to electron when elements combine

Answer 1

Almost everything wesee are the gifts of the electrons. When atoms combine to form a new substance, they are forming chemical bonds that bind them together. It is these bonds that define what is formed. The nature of the bond formed is dependent on the conditions in which the chemical reaction is taking place.For instance both diamond and graphiteare made of carbon atoms. However, due to different types of bonds, they form entirely different types of structures. To form diamond, very high temperatureand high pressure conditions are required.How can graphite and diamond be so different if they are both composed of pure 1carbon?'So when hydrogen (gas) combines with oxygen(gas), the atoms of hydrogen oroxygen is essentially unchanged, however since the nature of the bond it changed itforms water. And most of the properties, including boiling temperature, freezing temperature, color, and structure adirect result of these electron bonds, change consequently.In fact, this is very non-intuitive, hence it took us a long time tofigure out what happens in a chemical reaction.

Answer 2

when elements react their atoms join with other atoms to form compounds
