B----------- oxide is the correct answer
Answer:
Group 18, also known as the Noble Gasses
Explanation:
Atoms strive for full stability by gaining or losing electrons to get 8 valence electrons in their valence shell, but Group 18 already has 8 electrons in their valence shell, and are therefore already stable in their ground state.
A chemical formula identifies each constituent element by its chemical symbol and indicates the proportionate number of atoms of each element.
<em>For example, the empirical formula of ethanol may be written C2H6O because the molecules of ethanol all contain two carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom.</em>
