Which answer helps to explain why carbon atoms tend to make 4 covalent bonds?
Carbon has 4 electrons in its outer shell - making four bonds would give it the octet.
What ion would a calcium atom turn into if it was obeying the octet rule?
if you simply want to test out wheehtr or not you can make money online, then you could try gpt sites like cashcrate and use that money to buy from the people you don't trust ..none of your money is lost
What would happen for boron to have a full octet?
Boron has 3 valence electrons, which allows it to covalently bond to three other atoms. Each of the 3 covalent bonds has a pair of valence electrons, which means boron is sharing a total of six valence electrons in a compound. Boron still prefers an octet. Therefore, Boron can share a fourth bond which means boron will share 8 valence electrons, a full octet. But in this case, boron will have a formal charge: 3 valence - 4 bonds = -1 charge. The structure with 4 covalent bonds is similar to carbon (think CH4), but because boron has one less proton than carbon, boron carries a negative formal charge when boron fills its octet by covalently bondingto 4 atoms.An example of this would be the acid-base reaction:BF3 + diethyl ether (C2H5)2OThe oxygen will use one of its lone pair of electrons to form a covalent bond with boron.This means boron has a minus one formal charge and has 3 bonds (with 3 fluorines)and one bond to oxygen. The oxygen now is sharing one of its lone pairs in a covalentbond, so the oxygen has a plus one formal charge now: 6-3-2=+1.
Can a Neutral unbonded atom complete valence octet?
if it is a noble gas it already has an octet, otherwise, it would need to gain or use electrons to complete an octet and would no longer be neutral or unbounded.
What has 6 protons?
Nitrogen-15, with a charge of +1.

What formal charge does carbon have?
The formal charge on the carbon atom of carbon monoxide in its major resonance form (triple bonded with oxygen) is -1. However, the electronegativity difference cancels it out for the most part (oxygen in this case as a formal charge of +1). It would be more accurate to say that there is simply a small dipole moment between the two molecules with the negative end on carbon.

Does carbon dioxide have ions?
In simple chemistry, no. For carbon to be attracted to an ion it would have to be charged. A stable carbon could only have a small partial charge which is that which causes polar bonding. This charge is not big and would have little effect, especially in solutions.
Does oxygen ever have a 3- oxidation number?
No, oxygen will never have a -3 oxidation number. If it had a -3 oxidation number, it would not have a full octet. It would have a +1 charge, therefore making it not happy.

How many electrons would be found in a cation of Carbon with a 1 charge?
5 in total
How does the force of gravitationbetween two objects change when the distance between them is reduced to half?
In that case, the force would increase by a factor of 4. Gravity obeys an inverse-square law.In that case, the force would increase by a factor of 4.

What has 6 protons?
Nitrogen-15, with a charge of +1.
What is the formula of the ion formed when potassium achieves noble-gas?
Potassium has one valence electron that it would lose to become octet happy, or like a noble gas..therefore K(+1 charge)
How do you determine how many electrons are in an element?
Number of Protons=Atomic Number. In a neutral atom (any atom listed in the periodic table), the number of protons equals the number of electrons. This is because a proton has a +1 charge and an electron has a -1 charge. Example: Carbon has an atomic number of 6. A neutral carbon atom therefore has 6 protons and 6 electrons. Unrelated, but sort of more relevant, carbon has four valence electrons. If the carbon was written like so: C+, then the carbon would have a positive 1 charge and would have one less electron than the neutral carbon. The number of protons would remain the same at 6, but the total number of electrons would be 5.
