Well, when an atom attains a stable valence electron, it means that the outer electrons are complete and so cannot attain any more electrons. For the first shell, it is complete when it has 2 electrons, the second shell is complete when it has 8 electrons, all the other shells also have a particular number when complete. Anyway, i believe the answer is HYDROGEN because when HYDROGEN combines with another atom of HYDROGEN, the outer shell is completed. This is because HYDROGEN has only 1 electron. If the two HYDROGENS, which both have 1 electron combine, they make the electrons 2, which is complete for the first shell, HYDROGEN ends in the first shell. Since the electrons become 2, the shell is at stable valence. In all the other options, this happens;
NEON- It has 10 electrons, 2 in the first shell and 8 in the second. So the the shells are already complete, so it can't bond with any thing, which is completely against the question.
RADON- Radon has 86 electrons.
HELIUM- Helium has 2 electrons, so the shell is already full, and cannot bond, so it goes against the question. The question says BY BONDING.
So the answer is definitely 4) HYDROGEN
Hope i helped. Have a nice day, by the way, i'm very sure it's hydrogen.
Answer:
Cold water
Explanation:
A simple way to solve this kind of problems is to keep in mind that:
<em>Solids have stronger intermolecular attractive forces than liquids, and liquids have stronger forces than gases.</em>
Cold water behaves more similarly to solids than hot water. Conversely, hot water behaves more similarly to gases than cold water. Thus, cold water has stronger intermolecular attractive forces than hot water.
Answer:
B
Explanation
Salt water is a solution where the salt completely dissolves therefore is is homogeneous. Solvent is the liquid (water) that dissolves the solute (salt).
I assume this is a true or false question. I would say true
