Answer:

The correct option is an atom with a partly filled energy level

Explanation:

An atom with a partially filled energy level means the atom has a partially filled outermost shell which in turn means the atom as valence electrons. The presence of valence electrons in atoms makes them undergo chemical bonding with other atoms of the same/different elements (during chemical reactions).

Atoms with completely filled energy levels (such as the noble gases) have a completely filled outermost shell and hence do not have valence electrons which can take part in bond formation during chemical reactions and hence these group of atoms have low chemical reactivity.

It is more reactive the atom with a partly filled energy level because is less stable than the other case. Stability is inversely proportional to reactivity.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxygen molecules and Nitrogen molecules forms in a very similar way. The attraction between particles of oxygen is great due to its very high electronegativity value. Oxygen has a higher electronegative value compared to nitrogen.

Electronegativity of an atom is the relative tendency with which atoms of an element attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond. Valence electrons are used in forming chemical bonds. They can be transferred from one atom to the other or they can be shared.

Oxygen is the second most electronegative atom on the periodic table. To form a bond, it shares the valence electrons in order for its octet to be complete. Pull for the valence electrons between the contributing atoms is very strong due to their large electronegative values. This pull is stronger compared to that between nitrogen atoms.
