<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The percentage of the family’s total annual electricity that is used to run the two air conditioners for the three summer months = 19.4 %</h2>

Explanation:

Average electricity consumed per month = 900 kWh

The family cools their house for three months during the summer with two window-unit air conditioners

The power consumed by one window-unit air conditioners = 350 kWh

The power consumed by two window-unit air conditioners = 350(2) = 700 kWh

Power consumed for two air conditioners for the three summer months = 700 (3) = 2100 kWh

Total power consumed for 1 year = 900 (12) = 10800kWh

The percentage of the family’s total annual electricity that is used to run the two air conditioners for the three summer months = $\frac{2100}{10800}100$ = 19.4 %

What is the number of valence electrons that most atoms prefer?

Nataly_w [17]

Answer: 8 electrons

Explanation: Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom and they are important in chemical reactions.

Atoms are <em>happy</em> when they follow the octet rule which states that 2 electrons can go in the first shell and 8 electrons can go in the other shells.

Electrons are happy when they have a full outer shell which usually needs to be 8 electrons. However, some of the smaller elements like helium are happy because they can hold a max of 2 electrons and helium has 2 electrons since it has 2 protons in its core as well as 2 electrons in its energy levels.
