May you help me http://prnt.sc/d6hyfr

alones (alones):

I'm not sure if it belongs to Biology or Physics x.x

OpenStudy (brittanyrolfe):

This is chemistry :) but I can still help!

OpenStudy (brittanyrolfe):

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

alones (alones):

Yeah, so how do I start it /:

OpenStudy (brittanyrolfe):

Well, what do you think the answer is for that first question?

alones (alones):

2 for number 1?

OpenStudy (brittanyrolfe):

yes

OpenStudy (brittanyrolfe):

so in the 2n subshell, every atom wants to get to 8 total electrons. Right now they each have 6

alones (alones):

This way? http://prnt.sc/d6iazw

alones (alones):

Oh I mean http://prnt.sc/d6ib86

alones (alones):

Oh man, actually I'd actually write them like this \(2, 6, 8, 8, 6, 4, 2\)

OpenStudy (brittanyrolfe):

4 electrons are being shared between them. This is known as a double bond

OpenStudy (brittanyrolfe):

Each atom is sharing 2 with the other, which makes a total of 4

OpenStudy (brittanyrolfe):

covalent bonds are between them

OpenStudy (brittanyrolfe):

Does this make sense?

alones (alones):

Yes!!! Thank youu!

OpenStudy (brittanyrolfe):

Awesome! Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with! :)
