A valence shell is stable with how many electrons
2 inner/outer

The number of electrons in an element
Same as the number of protons
The complete losing and gaining of valence electrons between 2 molecules
Ionic Bond
When two molecules shares the same electron. Can share more than one
Covalent Bond
