What molecule is formed by covalent bonding?
Molecules formed by covalent bonding include water (H₂O), methane (CH₄), and oxygen (O₂), where atoms share electrons to achieve a stable configuration.
How do ionic compound obtain a stable electron configuration?
They achieve stable configuration by sharing their electrons in their outermost shell.
What is the formula of the ion formed when sodium achieves a stable electron of configuration?
Sodium looses one electron to achieve noble gas electronic configuration.The formula of ion formed is Na+
What is the formula of the ion formed when sodium achieves a stable configuration?
Sodium achieves the neon gas onfiguration 1s2 2s2 2p6 and the ion is written as Na+. Sodium can form many stable compounds by ionic bonding.

What is the formula of the ion formed when sodium achieves a stable electron configuration?
Na+ is the formula of the ion formed when sodium achieves a stable electron configuration.
What molecule is formed by covalent bonding?
Molecules formed by covalent bonding include water (H₂O), methane (CH₄), and oxygen (O₂), where atoms share electrons to achieve a stable configuration.
Explain what atoms are trying to achieve in there electron shells when they bond with each outher?
Atoms are trying achieve a stable electronic configuration i.e., stable arrangement of electrons in their electron shells. All configurations are not stable. Mostly stable configuration is attained by forming an octet of electrons in outer most shell. Sometimes octet rule is violated also.
What is the formmula of the ion formed when sodium achieves a stable electron configuration?
Na+ ion.
What is the relationship between the stable ions and the noble gases?
Generally (but not always) stable ions will have the same the electronic configuration as that of noble gases (completely filled valence shells / orbitals)
What is a new molecule created in a chemical reaction?
The product is formed which is stable than reactents.
How many hydrogen atoms are needed for a single bonded - 3 carbon molecule - to form a stable bond configuration?
Eight.
What is the formula of the ion formed when the tin achieves a stable electron configuration?
It could be either Sn2+ ion (stannous ion) or Sn4+ ion (stannic ion)
Why noble gases so stable?
Noble gases are chemically stable because they have completely filled electron orbitals. They generally have 8 valence electrons (helium has only 2) and therefore have a stable electronic configuration.
When an atom of one element combines chemically with an atom of another element both atoms usually attain the stable highest energy level configuration of a?
molecule
How do ionic compound obtain a stable electron configuration?
They achieve stable configuration by sharing their electrons in their outermost shell.
When is a periodic orbit stable?
when the shells have complete electrons they are stable
