A hybrid is created when two atomic orbitals overlap.
Further, "hybridization is a theoretical process involving the combination of atomic orbitals to create a new set of orbitals that take part in covalent bonding."

∙ 10y agoFirstly of the shells are full the atoms repel each other- this is an effect due ultimately to the Pauli exclusion principle.
If the shells are only part full there is the possibility of a chemical bond being formed.
The mechanism for this is often described as being due to the "overlap" of orbitals - the overlap "forms " two new orbitals one (the "bonding" orbital energetically lower than the lowest energy atomic orbital and one (anti-bonding) higher in energy than the highest energy atomic orbital. The electrons populate the bonding and then if there are more than two electrons they populate the anti-bonding orbitals. This process may allow a chemical bond to form- generally only two electrons are involved in the formation of a stable bond because adding a third puts it into a destabilising anti-bonding orbital.

Atoms with many electron shells will let go of their electrons more easily than those with fewer shells.?
true
Do atoms whose outer elecron shells contain eight electrons tend to form ionic bonds in aqueous solutions?
Atoms with outer electron shells that contain 8 electrons tend to be stable and chemically in reactive, or inert.
Which type of bond is strongest and why?
A covalent bond is the strongest of the four types of chemical bonds, as it requires two atoms to share at least one electron each to form full electron shells.
What is involved in an covalent bond?
there are two types of bonds, ionic and covalent. In an ionic bond, which is a compound, one of the atoms donates one or more electron(s) to another atom to make both of their valence shells full. In a covalent bond, when two or more atoms pair up, they share (an) electron(s) to make their valence shells full.Refrenced: My notes
What happens when a chlorine atoms gains an electron in its outer energy shell?
It becomes a negative ion.

What happens to the electron cloud with increasing periods number?
The electron cloud increases the amount of valence shells it has with the increase of electrons in the atoms
Atoms unite into compounds?
by sharing their electron shells
What is the electron whiz around the center of atoms called?
one answer i know is shell the electron whiz around the centre of atoms are shells
How many atoms are in an atom of beryllium?
Only two electron shells.
What two thing surround every moving electron?
Shells and atoms
How many shielding atoms does magnesium have?
Magnesium has 3 electron shells.
What happens when two atoms are too close?
If they can bond, they will, and form a molecule. If they can't, then they bounce away.
