In a hotel breakfast bar, you see an older woman sticking a fork into a toaster to remove a piece of toast. You warn her not to do that, and she says, "You know, I always wondered why forks conduct electricity so well." As an astute chemistry student, how would you explain it to her? Make sure you provide a relationship to electronegativity, proton pull, and electron distribution in your answer.

Astable electron arrangement for an atom is one that does not easily change. how is this arrangement arrived at? a. valence electrons are transferred or shared to create a full outer shell of electrons. b. valence electrons are discarded into space to create a full outer shell of electrons. c. protons (positive charge) pair with valence electrons (negative charge) to create a strong bond. d. outer shells with valence electrons are transferred or shared.
