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.

<span>The first method to determine the chemical composition of a substance in space was using light. By determining red shift in the observed spectrum of light they could determine the elements they were observing. Different elements change the way light behaves and from this scientists can determine the makeup of things such as stars and nebulas.</span>

Which of the following best describes the changes involved in a fission reaction?
never [62]
The correct answer is this: THE NUCLEUS OF AN ATOM SPLITS INTO FRAGMENTS, RELEASING A LARGE AMOUNT OF ENERGY.
Nuclear fission is the process in which the nucleus of a radioactive element split into two different nucleic of smaller sizes of different elements with a large release of energy. Nuclear fission process is usually used to provide energy for electricity generation.
