Bindungssättigung
Bindungssättigung, also known as bonding saturation, is a concept in chemistry that refers to the maximum number of covalent bonds that an atom can form with other atoms. This concept is crucial in understanding the structure and properties of molecules. The bonding saturation of an atom is determined by its valence electrons, which are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom. These electrons are involved in the formation of chemical bonds.
The bonding saturation of an atom is typically equal to the number of valence electrons it has.
In some cases, an atom can exceed its bonding saturation by forming multiple bonds or by using
Understanding bonding saturation is essential for predicting the structure and reactivity of molecules. It helps chemists
