400

The group tells you the number of these in the outer shell, which gives elements in the same group similar chemical properties. What are they?

What are Valence electrons ?

400

O₂ is a molecule, but it is not a compound. Explain why

What is A molecule is two or more atoms joined together, but both atoms in O₂ are the same element, so it isn’t a compound
