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 Bonds: Ionic and Covalent. There are a variety of ways atoms bond to one another. Some bonds are weaker, and some are stronger. Two of the strongest forms of chemical bond are the ionic and the covalent bonds. Chemical bonds form between two atoms, each with its own electron environment.
