What else can I help you with?
When compounds like to have 8 electrons in their outter shell what does that mean?
There is a general tendency to form an octet, to have a stable structure.
Which elements does not bond easily because it has a full outter shell?
Any noble gas (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, or Rn)
How many electrons does chlorine have on its outter shell?
7
What kind of outer shell is each atom in a covalent bond left with?
In a covalent bond, each atom retains its outer shell of electrons. The atoms share pairs of electrons to achieve a full outer shell, which makes the bond stable.
A chemical bond that occurs when atoms share electrons is a?
This is a covalent bond.
What group has a complete octet and wont bond with other atoms?
Noble gases have a complete octet and are stable because they have a full outer electron shell. They do not chemically bond with other atoms because they are already in a stable configuration.
Is this an inoic or covalent bond O and H?
The bond between O and H is covalent. In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons to fill their outer electron shell and become stable. Oxygen and hydrogen form a covalent bond by sharing electrons to create a stable water molecule.
Is an ionic bond a stable bond?
no it it not stable.
Why is helium such a stable element?
Its outer electron shell is complete, with 2 electrons. Therefore it does not readily bond with other elements.
What type of bond does a oxygen and nitrogen form?
Oxygen and nitrogen typically form a covalent bond when they bond together. In this type of bond, the atoms share electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell and form a stable molecule.
Why does sodium want to bond with chlorine?
Sodium wants to bond with chlorine to achieve a stable electron configuration. Sodium has one electron in its outer shell and can transfer this electron to chlorine, which lacks one electron in its outer shell. By transferring the electron, both sodium and chlorine can attain a full outer shell and achieve a more stable, lower energy state. This results in the formation of an ionic bond between sodium and chlorine to create sodium chloride (table salt).
When two atoms combine by sharing electrons it is a(n) bond?
It is a covalent bond.
