The octet rule is a chemical rule that observes that atoms of main group elements combine in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas. good luck! hope this helps!

The octet rule refers to the tendency of atoms to prefer to have eight electrons in the valence shell. When atoms have fewer than eight electrons, they tend to react and form more stable compounds. When discussing the octet rule, we do not consider d or f electrons. Only the s and p electrons are involved in the octet rule, making it useful for the main group elements (elements not in the transition metal or inner-transition metal blocks); an octet in these atoms corresponds to an electron configurations ending with s2p6.

The bowl of mixed fruits is a mixture because there are several things making up the object. Hence, option (B) is correct.

What is a mixture?

The matter is categorized as mixtures and pure substances.
A mixture is defined as a combination of substances that are not chemically mixed.
A mixture can exist in solid, liquid, or gas form.
A mixture can exist in the same or in a different phase. It can be homogenous or heterogeneous.
If the substances are combined in the same phase, then the mixture is a homogeneous mixture.
But if the substances are combined in different phases, then it is a heterogeneous mixture.
