Answer:
3
three half-filled orbitals each capable of forming a single covalent Bond and an additional lone - pair of electrons
The Curiosity rover found sulfur compounds in rocks and carbon in organic compounds like propane, butene, benzene, toluene and thiophene.
It detected methane, not in soil samples, but in the Martian atmosphere.
It did not discover helium in underground pockets. The hole it can drill is only 5 cm deep.

Answer:
When an atom attracts extra electrons it becomes a negative ion. The negative ion is larger than the original atom. The positive nucleus remains the same, with the same attractive force. However, this attractive force is now pulling on more electrons and therefore has less effect.
Or
Positive ions are formed by removing one or more electrons from the outermost region of the atom. The opposite is true of negative ions. When electrons are added to form an anion, the increased electron-electron repulsions cause the electrons to spread out more in space. Thus, anions are larger than their parent atoms.
Answer:
Carbon dioxide and hydrogen monoxide
