How can you tell the number of covalent bonds an element can form?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sergio039 [100]3 years ago
3 0

The number of bonds for a neutral atom is equal to the number of electrons in the full valence shell (2 or 8 electrons) minus the number of valence electrons. This method works because each covalent bond that an atom forms adds another electron to an atoms valence shell without changing its charge.

However, before we begin a discussion of distillation, it would probably be beneficial to define the terms that describe the process and related properties. ... Elevation of the boiling point with an increase in external pressure, while important in cooking and sterilizing food or utensils, is less important in distillation.
