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.
This chemical bond â known as a covalent bond â forms as the electrons which orbit around each atom's nucleus are shared between two atoms at they come together. 1  Scientists have managed to visualise the electron clouds that form covalent chemical bonds between atoms to hold molecules together. Two hydrocarbon molecules are shown in the image above with the position of the atom nuclei superimposed on top of the image.
