Explain the role of the outer electron shell to ionic and covalent bonding.  Please be detailed and provide and example.​
avanturin [10]

Answer:

For example, an atom with 6 of 8 electrons in its outer shell will try to gain 2 electrons so its outer shell is full. Ionic bonding occurs when one element donates an electron (or electrons) to another so that both elements will have a full outer shell. As the attractions bring the atoms together, electrons from each atom are attracted to the nucleus of both atoms, which “share” the electrons. The sharing of electrons between atoms is called a covalent bond, which holds the atoms together as a molecule.

Keep your right leg elevated above heart level. instruction should the nurse provide in client cast care .

Casts are often designed to keep you dry. An infection or skin irritability may result from a moist cast. Casts made of fiberglass or plaster with standard padding are not waterproof. Cover your child's cast with two layers of plastic and secure it with a rubber band or piece of duct tape to keep it dry during baths or showers.

How do you take care of a plaster cast?

  • Keep the plaster cast clean and dry at all times.
  • The cast usually dries completely in 48 hours. Allow it to dry naturally and keep it away from direct heat.
  • Avoid bumping or hitting the cast.
  • Do not paint the cast. This will close the pores of the plaster. Having friends decorate the cast using markers is OK.
