The atom that would gain two electrons to fill its valence energy level is S(sulfur)
This is because s (sulfur) is in atomic number 16 with 2.8.6 of [Ne] 3s^2 2p^4 electronic configuration. This implies that sulfur has 6 valence electron and therefore it require two electron to fill its valence energy level and obtain 18 rule electrons.
Answer:
B) Their valence shell is full
Explanation:
In order to be classified as a noble gas, an element must have a complete octet/ a full shell of valence electrons, as shown in answer B.
A and C are just incorrect. Since noble gasses are very unstable, D is a true statement, but is isn't the correct answer as this does not explain why they are inert.

Answer:
6.2 calories
Explanation:
Data Given:
change in temperature = 20 °C
specific heat of gold = 0.031 calories/gram °C
mass of gold = 10.0 grams
Amount of Heat = ?
Solution:
Formula used
Q = Cs.m.ΔT
Where:
Q = amount of heat
Cs = specific heat of gold = 0.031 calories/gram °C
m = mass
ΔT = Change in temperature
Put values in above equation
Q = 0.031 calories/gram °C x 10.0 g x 20 °C
Q = 6.2 calories
So option A is correct = 6.2 calories
Answer:
So, you're dealing with a sample of cobalt-60. You know that cobalt-60 has a nuclear half-life of
5.30
years, and are interested in finding how many grams of the sample would remain after
1.00
year and
10.0
years, respectively.
A radioactive isotope's half-life tells you how much time is needed for an initial sample to be halved.
If you start with an initial sample

Answer:
The liquid boils.
Explanation:
Vapor pressure is simply defined as the pressure exerted on a substance (solid/liquid) by the vapor of the substance collected just at the top of the surface of the substance. In concise words, it is the pressure of Vapor that is in contact with its solid or liquid state.
For a liquid, it is the pressure of the Vapor gathering at the top of the surface of the liquid.
When this Vapor pressure matches the external pressure, the temperature stays constant and the molecules of the liquid all through the liquid can gain enough energy, rise to the surface of the liquid and break free in gaseous form; thereby, boiling.
The definition of boiling point basically explains that it is the point at which temperature stays constant, and the vapour pressure of the liquid matches the atmospheric/external pressure around the liquid and its liquid molecules change into vapor.
This is why liquids boil faster at higher altitudes; the atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes is reduced, hence, the temperature at which liquid boils at this high altitude is normally lower than its known boiling point temperature.
It is also why food cooks to a temperature higher than the boiling point of water in a pressure cooker/pot. The added pressure ensures that the cooking water boils at temperatures higher than its boiling point; thereby exposing the cooking ingredients to a higher temperature, leading to faster cooking.
Hence, it is obvious why boiling is the answer to this question.
