00:04 Well, for the non -metal and non -mental, they'd like to share electrons so that they can form a covalent bond.

00:11 But in ionic compound, the electron will transfer from one to another.

00:16 The reason is that in chemistry, the atoms trying to form a noble gas configuration so that the structure can be very stable.

00:26 For example, for the hydrogen, and it has one electrons, so they like to, you know, gain one electrons.

00:36 They have to gain one electron.

00:38 So they have two electrons, which is correspond to the noble configuration of nea, helium.

00:48 They correspond to electron configuration of helium.

00:55 Sodium, for example, it has 11 electrons, and you have 11 electrons.

01:06 So this is a venomous.

01:07 Electron configuration.

01:09 So they like to lose one electron.

01:14 So they have this electron configuration, which is very similar to the nea.

01:22 So chlorine, then they have seven valence electrons.

01:29 So they like to gain one electron.

01:32 So have this electron configuration, which is corresponding to.

01:42 The aga.

01:48 So the question is whether these electrons from hydrogen, sodium, chlorine will lose all the right to gain electrons...
