What does the octet rule state that explains why atoms bond?🔹

An atom bonds to have eight valence electrons to become stable.

What best explains whether bromine (Br) or neon (Ne) is more likely to form a covalent bond?

Bromine forms covalent bonds because it has seven valence electrons, but neon has eight valence electrons and already fulfills the octet rule. Bromine forms covalent bonds because it has many electron shells, but neon has only two electron shells and is tightly bound to its electrons. Neon forms covalent bonds because it has only two electron shells, but bromine has many electron shells and will lose electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule.

CaOCl₂

What is the chemical formula for the molecule modeled?

C₆H₁₂O₂

Which statement correctly describes whether a compound is a pure substance?

🚫A compound is not a pure substance because it is not an element, and only elements are pure substances.

How would the model change as the atom forms bonds?

The third shell would be empty so that the eight electrons in the second level would be outermost after the atom loses one electron.

Angela was instructed on a test to make an analogy, or comparison, for polymers. She writes four examples of how polymers are like pearl necklaces. She has many parts to this analogy that make sense, but one part of her analogy does not fit. Which is the most likely error in her analogy?
