The outermost electron also determines the tendency to form chemical bonds with other atoms to form molecules.
1. Which electrons determine the energetic stability of the atom?
|
The electrons do not actually orbit the sun they are instead found in electron orbitals.
6. Electrons orbit the atomic nucleus like the earth orbits the sun. True/false
|
When they have a full valence shell
2. When are the atoms most stable?
|
Octet rule
7. What rule states that the elements are the most stable when their outermost shell is filled with electrons?
|
Indicates how many electrons fill each principal shell
3. What does Bohr’s model indicate?
|
Molecule
8. When two or more atoms chemically bond with each other, the resultant chemical structure is called?
|
Sphere-like shape
4. What is the shape of the s subshells?
|
Covalent bonds are formed by the sharing of electrons
9. How are covalent bonds formed?
|
Three dumbbell-shaped orbitals
5. How are p subshells made?
|
Nonpolar and polar
10. What are the two types of covalent bonds?
