More questions lol.
Ive looked this up and still can't get a clear answer.
Lets say you have Boron...this atom has 5 valence electrons.
I know that it can just have 3 covalent bonds with one other atom of Boron like this:
:B
lll
B
But could it not just have a single convalent bond with three separate atoms of Boron or any other atom for that matter like this:
B
l
:B-B
l
B
or this:
Li
l
:B-H
l
Rb
or even this:
Be
ll
:B-H
I have an even more complicated questions but I need the answer to this one first lol.
Thanks
