What happens if an atom has no charge?

the number of protons are equal to the number of electrons.

Based on what you know about atomic structure, what can you infer about the word "nuclear?"

It relates to protons and neutrons.

The one with 7 electrons and its missing 1 electron from becoming symmetrical and having an even number of electrons

An atom with 10 electrons must have how many shells?

What atoms are most likely to bond with another atom

An atom with 9 electrons because its 1 away from having 10 electrons to be stable

An atom has 15 total electrons. How many electrons does it have in its outer shell?

The relationship between the number of electrons in an atom's outer shell and the atom's tendency to bond is called the octet rule. What can you infer about the meaning of "octet?"

It refers to sets of eight.

Atom A has seven electrons in its outer shell. Atom B has one electron in its outer shell. They react and bond. Now both atoms have eight electrons in their outer shells. What kind of bond has formed?

Cations have positive charges. Anions have negative charges. What force draws the two together?

Electrostatic attraction

Substance M is a blue, brittle solid. Substance N is a colorless, flammable gas. What can we predict about the compound created when M and N form a covalent bond?

There's no way to tell based on the information given.
