Answer 2

What do u think ?

Answer 3

I think it is true, but looking at the favorable part of the question, it wouldn't be more favorable since the energy level is full, so then I think it is false

Answer 4

No it's true. Remember full filled energy level is more stable and thus favourable

Answer 5

Got it ?

Answer 6

ok thank you so much, I really appreciate it. Do you know anything about why covalent bonds form?

Answer 7

Because it lowers the energy and thus increases the stability.

Answer 8

A phosphorus atom and a chlorine atom are likely to form a covalent bond because both elements:
1.)are nonmetals
2.)have low electronegativity values
3.)have equal "pull" on shared electrons
4.)lack valence electrons

I think it is 3 or 4
