Answer:
elements tend not to react with other elements, there were no oxide compounds for Mendeleev to study. –Group 18 elements are generally unreactive. sodium ion is smaller because the sodium atom lost one electron. –An Na+ ion is smaller because it has one fewer electron shell.
Explanation:
can you me as brainliest if its right? i just need a few more to rank up! ^-^
Also have a great day and good luck in your studies!
I believe the correct answer is B
I believe a possible Lewis dot structure that does not obey the octet rule, where all elements are required to have 8 electrons in their outermost shell, would be the SF4 molecule.
Sulfur can contain an more than 8 electrons, in this molecule and thus has an expanded octet.
A) decomposers
Decomposers help break down organic matter and that produces things like minerals
