B. eight valence electrons.

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an atom's octet or shell is filled then the atom becomes stable. Therefore, the atom will be very less reactive as it does not need more electrons to fill its shell.

For example, neon has atomic number 10 and electron distribution in its shells is 2, 8. As there are 8 electrons in its valence shell this means that it has attained stability according to the octet rule. Hence, it will be least reactive.

Thus, we can conclude that atoms of the LEAST reactive elements tend to have eight valence electrons.

How are some mutations similar? Provide examples.
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Mutations can be caused by high-energy sources such as radiation or by chemicals in the environment. They can also appear spontaneously during the replication of DNA. Mutations generally fall into two types: point mutations and chromosomal aberrations. In point mutations, one base pair is changed. A single mutation can have a large effect, but in many cases, evolutionary change is based on the accumulation of many mutations with small effects. Mutational effects can be beneficial, harmful, or neutral, depending on their context or location. Most non-neutral mutations are deleterious.
