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.
According to our crude, conceptual definition, chemical bonds can form either by electron transfer between atoms or by sharing of electrons. The former case constitutes a kind of bond known as an ionic bond. The reason for this is that if one atom transfer electrons to another, the donor is left with a net positive charge, while the acceptor is left with a net negative charge.
