Four electrons reduce one molecule of oxygen gas to form water
The atmospheric molecule is the diatomic Oxygen molecule, O2.
Carbon = 4 valance electronsNitrogen = 5 valance electrons4 + 5 = 9 and 2 valance electrons used for the single bond, 9 - 2 = 73 hydrogens can attach to the carbon and 4 hydrogens can attach to the nitrogen, so.......7 hydrogen atoms would complete this molecule===================================
Covalent bonding is the bonding that is required to complete a transfer of an electron from one atom to another.
The conditions given in the question describe a molecule of either acetone or propionaldehyde. In either instance, 6 hydrogen atoms are required to complete the molecule: H3C-C(O)-CH3 or H3C-CH2-CHO.
4 electrons are required to fill the outer shell of a carbon atom. This, the second shell of carbon, can contain two 2s electrons and six 2p electrons, but in a neutral carbon atom it actually contains only two 2s electrons and two 2p electrons. Therefore, four more electrons are required to fill the outer shell.
The type of chemical reaction required for electrons to flow from one molecule to the next and provide energy for metabolism is a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction. In this reaction, one molecule acts as a reducing agent, donating electrons, while the other molecule acts as an oxidizing agent, accepting the electrons. This transfer of electrons generates energy that can be used by the body for various metabolic processes.

One.
Phosphorous has 5 valence electrons. So, you need 3 more to complete it.

Water is a molecule made of three atoms (one oxygen and two hydrogen) and the concept of the electron octet applies to atoms, not to molecules. Oxygen, with six valance electrons, can acquire an octet by sharing the electrons of two hydrogen atoms, each of which have one electron. So the water molecule is self contained, it does not need any more electrons.
it indicates how many electrons are required to complete a full valence shell
It indicates how many electrons are required to complete a full valence shell.
If there is no complete path, excess electrons will very quickly build up at some place, and repel further electrons - no more current will thus flow.
