The Public Comment period, held at 2:30 p.m. or shortly thereafter, is separate from public hearings on specific agenda items. Citizens interested in making public comments should sign up to speak prior to 2:30 p.m. Speakers during public comments should limit their remarks to three minutes. The Commissioners want to hear all the citizens' comments.
Most atoms need 8 electrons to complete their outer shell. So, an atom that has 2 outer electrons will often form a chemical bond with an atom that lacks two electrons to be complete. For example, a sodium atom has one lone electron in its outer shell.
Chemical Bonds and Stability. 1  Atoms of most elements are more stable meaning less likely to react when they have 8 valence electrons. 2  Atoms usually react in a way that makes each atom more stable. 3  Chemical bond is the force of attraction that holds two atoms together as a result of the rearrangement of electrons between them.
