Quick question on bonding... If the elements that are going to be bonded can evenly fill each other's valence electronshell, will the subscripts be cancled out or do I put them anyways?

MrMudd183:

I don't seem to understand your question tbh

kingjayden:

same here

MrMudd183:

Since Ba has two valence electrons and O needs two, I was wondering if I need to write the subscripts after they bond

MrMudd183:

I'm just going to go with my gut. Thank y'all for trying
