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 BONDING AND COMPOUND FORMATION. One of the most important requirements in chemistry is to become familiar with the ways in which elements react to form compounds. We will investigate the types of chemical bonds, ways to predict compositions and the conventions of naming the compounds.1  Chemical bonds make atoms more stable than they are if non-bonded.lements on the left side of the table, metals, will lose electrons to form positive ions; elements on the right hand side of the table, non-metals, will gain electrons. In both cases, a filled shell will result.
