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.
Creating Bonds. Electrons play a major role in all chemical bonds. There is one type of bonding called electrovalent bonding (ionic), where an electron from one atom is transferred to another atom. You wind up creating two ions as one atom loses an electron and one gains one. The second type of bonding is called covalent bonding, where electrons are actually shared between two or more atoms in a cloud. Both types of bonds have specific advantages and weaknesses.
