While Maria was at the beach, she decided to go swimming. While she was in the water, she saw a motorboat in the distance. When Maria put her head under the water, she
discovered that the sound of the motorboat was louder. The next day, she asked her
incredibly amazing science teacher why this happened. What explanation did Maria's
incredibly amazing science teacher provide?

What best explains whether bromine (br) or neon (ne) is more likely to form a covalent bond? bromine forms covalent bonds because it has seven valence electrons, but neon has eight valence electrons and already fulfills the octet rule. bromine forms covalent bonds because it has many electron shells, but neon has only two electron shells and is tightly bound to its electrons. neon forms covalent bonds because it can share its valence electrons, but bromine has seven valence electrons and can gain only one more electron. neon forms covalent bonds because it has only two electron shells, but bromine has many electron shells and will lose electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule.
