Chemical reactions are the result of an atom attempting to result in a complete outer shell or have a stable octet.

Explanation:

Chemical reactions are defined as the reactions in which exchange of valence electrons take place. As a result, identity of the reactants change in a chemical reaction.

For example, $H_{2} + Cl_{2} \rightarrow 2HCl$

Hence, there occurs sharing of valence electrons between hydrogen and chlorine atom due to which they are able to attain stability.

Thus, we can conclude that chemical reactions are result of an atom attempting to share or donate valence electrons to attain stability or complete its octet.

What accounts for the movement of water up the veins of a tall tree?

stiv31 [10]

First of all, the cohesive and adhesive properties of the water molecules fascilitate this. Water molecules stick together and with the walls of the vessels, creating a column of water which doesn t break easily. Moreover the xylem vessels of the tree are very narrow increasing the pressure. Finally, transpiration is taking place as water from the leaves evaporate, thus a continuous osmotic gradient is being created, causing water to be drawn up the tree

Alex17521 [72]

What's up? i learned this a pretty long time ago so bear with me

all cells: dna, nucleus, ribosome, cytoplasm, cell membrane, (mitochondria??)

1/2: cell wall, vesicles

i think i may be wrong on mitochondria, again i honestly forget this due to the school system kinda failing us
