Structure and Properties of Atoms and Compounds

A compound that can dissolve in water but does not conduct electricity is usually a _________ compound.

Compounds are created by Atoms interacting to satisfy the octet rule, 8 electrons in the valence shell. Compound formed by sharing electrons to reach the octet rule are called:

Valence electrons are the outer-most electrons in the energy levels of atoms. Valence electrons determine the chemical reactivity and bonding capacity of the chemical element.
