Answer:

C. They don't react with other elements to form compounds

Explanation:

The elements in Group 18 of the periodic table are called "inert", or noble gases.

These elements have their valence shell (the outermost shell of the atom) full of electrons, so they do not gain/give off electrons, and therefore, they do not react with other elements, so they do not form compounds.

In fact, normally the elements try to gain/give off electrons in order to fullfill their outermost shell (the valence shell). For instance, an atom that has 1 electron only in its valence shell, try to "give away" this electron in order to have its outermost shell completed. On the other hand, an atom which has 7 electrons in its valence shell tries to "gain" one electron in order to fullfill the valence shell.

Noble gases, instead, have already 8 electrons in their valence shell, so their valence shell is already completed, therefore they do not react with other elements, and therefore they are called "inert".

Electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies are called​
Feliz [49]

Gamma rays

Explanation:

Every member of the electromagnetic radiation has commensurate amount of energy, wavelength and frequencies.

The electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequencies are the gamma rays.

  • Gamma rays also are the most energetic electromagnetic radiation.
  • The short wavelength of gamma rays suggests that more waves passes with times.
  • It's high frequency shows that a high amount of wave passes through a point at each passing of time.
  • These factors combines to give its high energy. Energy of an electromagnetic radiation is a factor of its wavelength and frequency.
  • Gamma rays are ionizing radiations which causes ionization of gas molecules.

State the relationship between electron configuration and location of an element in the period table
inn [45]

Answer:

elements in same group have same valence electron.

period of element is equal to valence shell

Explanation:

if the elements are in a same group then they will be having same number of valence electron.

the period of an element in periodic table is equal to the valence shell of the element. that is if the valence electron are in 3 rd shell then the element will be in third period.
