Why are valence electrons important when considering the bonds that form between atoms g

1 answer:

7 0

Answer:Covalent bonding occurs when pairs of electrons are shared by atoms. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms in order to gain more stability, which is gained by forming a full electron shell. By sharing their outer most (valence) electrons, atoms can fill up their outer electron shell and gain stability.

For question #12, use the following picture: 12. What element is this? How do you know?

labwork [276]

Answer: The element shown in the image is Helium (He).

Explanation: We are given a image of an atom having protons, neutrons and electrons.

Number of protons as shown in image = 2

Number of neutrons as shown in image = 2

Number of electron as shown in image = 2

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons

Atomic number of the element = 2

Atomic Mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Atomic mass = 2 + 2 = 4

The element having Atomic number = 2 and mass number = 4 is Helium.

Element = $^4_2\textrm{He}$
