That's a great question Nina, I will show you a quick story so you will understand it better
I'm Hydrogen (H)i don't have enough electrons to be stable
I'm Chlorine (CL) I need to combine with someone that has an electron so I can be stable
I agree, I have 1 electron
Hey Chlorine / Hydrogen, how about we combine so we can be stable? we can also form a bond!!
great idea, I have 17 electrons
Now together we are Hydrogen Chloride (HCI), and formed a Covalent Bond
Thank you Chlorine, now I can finally be stable I'm so happy !!
No, Thank you Hydrogen. we are now stable and have formed a covalent bond thanks to the both us :)
By combining Chlorine and Hydrogen we can get HCI which is a covalent bond and is also stable. HCl is hydrogen chloride, It forms white fumes of hydrochloric acid upon contact with atmospheric water vapor. Hydrochloric acid helps your body to break down, digest, and absorb nutrients such as protein. It also eliminates bacteria and viruses in the stomach.
I understand now Miss, Thank you for that short story / comic, it helped me understand chemical bonding easier.
