How are covalent bonds and atoms related?

If an atom reacts with another atom, one electron from the first atom is shared with the second atom. Since this electron is being shared, it spends some of its time orbiting the first atom and some of its time orbiting the second atom. At the same time, one electron from the second oxygen atom is shared with the first oxygen atom and spends time orbiting each atom. This pairing of the electrons forms covalent bonds. Covalent bonding forms covalent compounds. Water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen atoms,which bond together in covalent bonds to form water molecules.

How many protons are on the first shell of an atom?

The first shell of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. Since the number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom, there can be a maximum of 2 protons in the first shell.


Who first invented the concept of the atom?

The concept of the atom can be traced back to ancient Greek philosophers such as Democritus and Leucippus in the 5th century BC. They proposed the idea that all matter is made up of tiny indivisible particles called atoms.


What was the first model of the atom was developed through?

The first model of the atom was developed through the discovery of subatomic particles such as electrons, protons, and neutrons. This led to the development of the planetary model of the atom proposed by Niels Bohr in 1913.


The first energy level of an atom can hold a maximum of how many electrons?

The first energy level of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
