How Does the Formation of Covalent Bonds Relate to the Octet Rule?
How does the structure of a water molecule demonstrate the octet rule?
How many electrons are in the outermost energy level of an oxygen atom?
Tell me why.
How does the structure of a water molecule demonstrate the octet rule?
is a metal and is a nonmetal. Drag and drop the element into the correct blank space.

The element iron (Fe) has an atomic number of 26. Fill in the electrons using the diagram.
Explain your reasoning.
measures the ability of atoms to attract electrons. An electronegativity difference of 1.7 or indicates a transfer of one or more electrons and the formation of an bond. Ionic bonds often form when metals bond with nonmetals.
