I'm not sure if it belongs to Biology or Physics x.x
This is chemistry :) but I can still help!
So the N1 orbital is the very first circle around the nucleus. It has to be completely filled in order for there to be successive shells around it
Yeah, so how do I start it /:
Well, what do you think the answer is for that first question?
2 for number 1?
yes
so in the 2n subshell, every atom wants to get to 8 total electrons. Right now they each have 6
Oh man, actually I'd actually write them like this \(2, 6, 8, 8, 6, 4, 2\)
4 electrons are being shared between them. This is known as a double bond
Each atom is sharing 2 with the other, which makes a total of 4
covalent bonds are between them
Does this make sense?
Yes!!! Thank youu!
Awesome! Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with! :)
