Here i'd just like to look at lower structures and stability a bit more.
00:05
So we recall our carbon example.
00:08
It's likely to form four single bonds in order to get a full outer shell.
00:12
And now this is desirable as full shells are considered very stable.
00:20
Now we've got our dye nitrogen example at the very bottom, which is what we're going to be addressing in this problem.
00:27
So essentially atoms want a full outer shell, as this is considered the most stable confirmation for the atom within the molecule.
00:36
So if the atomo shell can hold up to two electrons, then the atom will want to be a duet.
00:42
However, if the atomo shell can hold up to eight electrons, then the atom will want to be an octet.
00:49
And now this is the same configuration of a noble gas, having a full outer shell...
