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.
The carbon element is one of the most abundant elements on earth. A fundamental element, important for living, there are four different types of bonds carbon can form. The bonds formed are called covalent bonds, which are created when two atoms share an electron (i.e. valence electrons) with each other. Eight valence electrons need to be present in carbon's outer shell, when considering covalent bonding. The three major types of covalent bonds are single, double, and triple bonds.
