Hello! Sorry this is a little late!
The answer to your question would best be option C, y<span>es, because electric charges have electric fields surrounding them that allow them to exert forces on other objects without touching them.
I just took this test, and can 100% confirm this is the correct answer!
Hope this helps, and have a great day! :)</span>
True......................................(just added the dots because I needed more characters)
That prediction is not correct because Xenon is extremely stable; column 18 of the periodic table contains the noble gasses, which are stable because their outer-most energy levels are completely filled. Having the octet (8) of valence electrons means that the element no longer needs to lose or gain electrons to gain stability.
The column 17 elements are unstable because they only have one valence electron short of the stable octet configuration of the noble gasses.
