Which of the following processes is not exhibited by atoms in order to attain more stable electron configuration?
Gaining of electrons
Hybridization of orbitals
Losing electrons
Sharing electron
Forklaring
- An atom may give, take, or share electrons with another atom to achieve a full valence shell, the most stable electron configuration.
- Hybrid orbitals are useful in the explanation of molecular geometry and atomic bonding properties and are symmetrically disposed in space.
