Answer : Option C) The Octet Rule
Explanation : Atoms have a tendency to complete their outer energy level. This is known as Octet Rule.
The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb which reflects the observation, that atoms of main-group elements tends to combine in such a way that each atom gets eight electrons in its valence shell, which gives it the same electron configuration as that of a noble gas.
In short, the tendency of an atom to fill its valence shell and attain a stable state it acquires or donates the electron is called as octet rule.
Answer:
1. Rutherford did the scattering experiment and observed that some of the rays bounce back. He concluded that there is a mass in which positive charge is concentrated. This marks the discovery of nucleus.
2. J.J Thomson discovered electrons by conducting cathode ray experiment.
3. Dalton postulated that matter is made up of small particles caled atoms
In science it is best to continue research, and rinse and repeat. This allows for a stronger hypothesis if you're results are the same every time, or change your hypothesis if you stumble upon new results. <span />
4 In the open chain, 5 in the cyclic. Just like glucose.
