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

Chemistry
1 answer:

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.

Which statement describes an eletron
Vitek1552 [10]
An electron carries a negative power to the atom. in each atom, the amount of protons and electrons are usually evened out so the atom is stable. the electrons of an atom are also found on the outside ring of an atom, unlike protons and neutrons, which are inside the atom. glad to help! :)
