I'm assuming that when you mean "tug of war," you're referring to the pulling of electrons from both atoms in a chemical reaction.

Essentially, yes. If one atom is more strong (the real term is "more electronegative") than the other, it will be able to successfully pull the electron pair entirely from the other atom.

When this happens, one atom will become positive, and the other negative. Because of these opposite charges, the two atoms will attract towards each other, thus forming what is known as an "ionic bond."

Answer: YES

Explanation:

POLAR BONDS will form.

A polar bond is a covalent bond between two atoms where the electrons forming the bond are unequally distributed. This causes the molecule to have a slight electrical dipole moment where one end is slightly positive and the other is slightly negative.

How many vance electrons does neon need to be stable
Aneli [31]
An element is stable when it has a full outershell.
Generally, most shells after the first can hold 8 electrons.
The first shell can only hold 2

So in order for neon to be stable it must have a full outer shell
The first shell can hold 2
Neon has 10 electrons
10-2=8
The second shell can hold 8
And neon has 8 electrons left

So it must have 8 valence electrons to be stable

What are scientific models used for? Give an example of each of the follwoing types of models: idea, physical, computer
leva [86]

Answer:

Scientific models are used to explain phenomena that can not be experience directly and it is also used for prediction.

Explanation:

An example of idea model is the Eistein equation.  An idea model shows how things interact together to produce a particular result.

An example of physical model is the solar system.

Computer model is used to predict long term events and an example of this is computer simulations.
