Answer:
The number of atoms in the outermost shell
Explanation:
For example, the electron shells in the alkali metals contain the following numbers of electrons:
Li: 2, 1
Na: 2, 8, 1
K: 2, 8, 8, 1
They all have one electron in their outermost shell, and they have similar chemical properties.
A reaction that is spontaneous means that it can produce products without the supply of energy. The total energy from the reactants reached the activation energy that allow the reaction proceed. An example of this is the decay of a diamond into graphite occuring readily.
I think the correct answer would be the last option. The ocean zone which has the lowest water pressure would be the uppermost zone which is the Epipelagic zone. This zone is also called as the euphotic zone or the sunlit zone. It is the region which receives the most sunlight in order to allow photosynthesis.
