PLEASE READ THIS AND HELP ME OUT!
Hey guys, uhh so I don't really like getting help with homework but there are some questions on my science homework, and I love science, but its about atoms, and I don't really understand atoms so I am asking for some help, all right so this is 9th grade science so hope u guys can help, thanks-

Or use your textbook and take some logical guesses at the right answers. Id be happy to help you through some topics, but its not realistic to be taught an entire chapter in a post.

Focus first on the theory of atomic structure... the protons, neutrons, electrons, how they are "arranged" and their individual charges and what make one element different from another.

Don't try to do the bonding questions until you get this. Then look at the section on bonding and how atoms can fill their valence shell by bonding or by gaining or losing electrons.

If you have some specific questions you can post them... but again, teaching an entire chapter of bonding theory here is unrealistic, and we don't provide answers to homework. Well happily help you through specific questions.
