===** What is the relationship between number of holes in the colored ball and the valence electrons for the molecular model? In other words, why do hydrogen balls have only one hole while oxygen has 2? **===

Hydrogen only has one hole because it only needs 1 electron for a full shell, while oxygen needs 2 electrons for a full shell

__How did working with molecular models help you understand things better?__
This helped me visualize molecules and understand when to make double or triple bonds.

//"Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine"//
This quote means that we should always stay positive no matter what the situation.

Draw a lewis structure for HCN. How does it compare to the drawing in your notebook?
