How many vance electrons does neon need to be stable

Chemistry
1 answer:
Aneli [31]4 years ago
8 0
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

explain why the hydrogen atoms in a hydrogen gas molecule form nonpolar covalent bonds but oxygen and hydrogen atoms in water mo
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.  

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards itself and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

Non polar covalent bond:

It is the bond where both bonded atoms share the pair of electron equally.

For example:

Hydrogen gas (H₂) is non polar covalent compound because the electronegativity of both bonded atoms are same. No poles are created that's why this is non polar covalent compound.

Polar covalent bond:

It is the bond where both bonded atoms share the pair of electron unequally.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive and bond is polar.

What evidence suggests that global climate change is causing the oceans to get warmer?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

A large point of evidence in this would be the rate of increase in how fast the polar ice caps are melting and the ocean is rising as a result. As the climate is getting warmer so are the oceans and this is causing the ice caps which are in the ocean.
