Question

multiple choice question
the neutral particle that forms as a result of electron sharing is called a(n)_________

cation
molecule
nucleus
ion

Explanation:

• A cation is a positively - charged ion formed by losing electrons, not by electron sharing.
• A molecule is formed when atoms share electrons (covalent bonding), and it is a neutral particle.
• The nucleus is the central part of an atom containing protons and neutrons, not related to electron - sharing in this context.
• An ion is a charged particle (either positive or negative) formed by gaining or losing electrons, not by sharing.

Answer:

molecule
