Answer: In both ionic and molecular bonds, the resulting compound is stabilized because each atom's outer electronic orbital is full.

Explanation:

Molecular bonds are also called covalent bonds. A covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between two or more atoms.

For example, atomic number of hydrogen is 1 and atomic number of nitrogen is 7 (2, 5). In order to attain stability hydrogen atom needs to gain one electron whereas nitrogen needs to gain 3 electrons.

Hence, 3 atoms of hydrogen chemically combine with one atom of nitrogen by sharing electrons and thus it forms the compound NH_{3}.

Ionic bonds are the bonds formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

For example, atomic number of sodium is 11 (2, 8, 1) and atomic number of chlorine is 17 (2, 8, 7). In order to attain stability sodium needs to lose one electron whereas chlorine needs to gain one electron.

Hence, when sodium combines chemically with chloride then sodium will transfer its 1 valence electron to the chlorine atom and thus it forms the compound NaCl.

Therefore, we can conclude that in both ionic and molecular bonds, the resulting compound is stabilized because each atom's outer electronic orbital is full.

Could you please explain to me Newton's second law of motion? Please I don't get it :/
MissTica

Answer:

Newton's second law states that when a body of mass m is accelerated with force f

then F=ma

this means acceleration of an object depends on both force with which it is moving as well as its mass

Light from a fluorescent lamp is observed through a cloud of cool nitrogen gas. Again, two students are having a discussion abou
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

From the previous explanation Student No. 1 has the correct explanation

Explanation:

When the fluorescent lamp emits a light it has the shape of its emission spectrum, this light collides with the atoms of Nitrogen and excites it, so these wavelengths disappear, lacking in the spectrum seen by the observed, for which we would see an absorption spectrum

The nitrogen that was exited after a short time is given away in its emission lines, in general there are many lines, so the excitation energy is divided between the different emission lines, which must be weak

From the previous explanation Student No. 1 has the correct explanation

How many paths do the electrons have to flowlin a series circuit?
AleksandrR [38]
One path because in a series circuit it is only one path while in a parallel circuit you have 2 or more. Our houses use parallel so that is why you can turn off one light and the rest would stay on.
