According to the octet rule, if an atom has fewer than 8 electrons in the outer most energy level, it will react with other nearby atoms to give, receive or share electrons until it has a full outer shell.

The octet rule refers to the tendency of atoms to prefer eight electrons in their valence shell.

If the atom has less than 8 electrons, the atoms tend to react to form more stable compounds.

The discussion of the octet rule does not consider d or f electrons. It is useful for main group elements because only s and p electrons participate in the octet rule.

Atoms are reacted to be as stable as possible. Complete octets are very stable because all orbitals are full. Since atoms with higher stability have less energy, reactions that increase the stability of atoms release energy in the form of heat or light.

A cubical wooden box floating on water rises 1cm when 400 gm of stone is
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Explanation:

I'm not  sure you can do this without just a bit more information. I can tell you what the mass of the water is when the rocks are removed. When we know that, we know the volume of the water that was displaced. whether or not this is enough information to determine the volume of the box, I'm not sure.

400 grams raises the box 1 cm.

The density of water = 1 gm / cm^3

400 grams of water = 400 mL or 400 cm^3

The volume of the displaced water = 400 cm^3

The volume a slice from the square prism is B*h

B = 400 cm^2

h = 1 cm

If the base is 400 cm^2 then each side is

s^2 = 400

sqrt(s^2)= sqrt(400)

s = 20

The volume of the box is 20^3 = 8000 cm^3

Give examples of plants that can reproduce by vegetative reproduction.​
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Some examples of vegetative propagation are farmers creating repeated crops of apples, corn, mangoes or avocados through asexual plant reproduction rather than planting seeds. Vegetative propagation can be accomplished from side-shoots, slips, stems and sections of tubers, bulbs or rhizomes.

What property is used to distinguish the layers of the atmosphere?
Margarita [4]
There are many porperties. You can use Altitude, Temperature, Pressure and Density, but the best one is temperature. The resaon for that is that based on the temperature changes then the athmosphere can be broken into four major layers. Remember that the layers are the following: <span>the </span>troposphere,the<span> </span>stratosphere, <span>the </span>mesosphere<span>, and the</span>thermosphere<span>.</span>

A diver shines an underwater searchlight at the surface of a pond (n = 1.33). At what angle (relative to the surface) will the l
allsm [11]

Answer:

41.2°

Explanation:

Total internal reflection is the reflection of the incident ray at the interface between two media in which one of the media has a lower refractive index than the other. It occurs when the angle of incidence in the denser medium exceeds the critical angle.

The critical angle is the angle of incidence in the denser medium when the angle of incidence in the less dense medium is 90°.

Since

n= 1/sin C

C= sin^-(1/n)

C= sin^-(1/1.33)

C= 48.8°

Hence angle of incidence= 90-48.8 = 41.2°

Which is the best insulator? metal, glass, plastic, or Styrofoam?
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Styrofoam would be the best insulator because it traps the air in small pockets, blocking the flow of heat energy.
