b. Atoms of elements with five to seven valence electrons form cations in order to meet the octet rule.
c. Atoms of elements with five to seven valence electrons form anions in order to meet the octet rule.
d. Atoms of elements with one valence electron gain seven electrons in order to meet the octet rule.

Answer:

C. Atoms of elements with five to seven valence electrons form anions in order to meet the octet rule.

Explanation:

  • Atoms of elements gain or lose electron(s) to obey the octet rule by forming cations or anions.
  • Atoms with 1 to 3 valence electrons lose electrons to form cations in order to attain a stable configuration.
  • Atoms with 5 to 7 valence electrons gain electron(s) to form anions in order to attain stable configuration.
  • However, atoms with 8 valence electrons do not require to gain or lose electrons since they an octet configuration.
  • Atoms of metallic elements such as those in group 1 and 2 lose electron(s) to form cations while atoms of non-metallic elements such as halogens require to gain electron(s) to form anions so as to obey the octet rule.

Answer:

The correct statement is option C.

Explanation:

Octet rule: In a chemical bond each atom tends to have 8 electrons in their valence shell.

  • Atoms with one to three valence electrons in their valence shell tends to loose their electron to form a cation in order to meet octet rule.
  • Atoms with five to seven valence electrons in their valence shell tends to gain electron to form an anion in order to meet octet rule.

So, for atom with one valence electron gaining 7 electron more will be difficult. but is can easily loose its 1 electron to form a cation.

The correct statement comes out to be:

Atoms of elements with five to seven valence electrons form anions in order to meet the octet rule.

The fundamental force underlying all chemical reactions is
arsen [322]

Answer:

Electromagnetic Force

Explanation:

Every aspect of chemical reaction is the output of electromagnetic force though the forces can take on many forms because of the quantum wave nature of particles.

The electromagnetic force has the ability to attract opposite charges such as protons and electrons and it repels same charges such as electrons and protons.

This force is an important force in the chemical reaction as it it is responsible for bonding between atoms. Though other forces are unique in their own way but they don't affect chemical reaction. Force of gravity is not strong enough to affect chemical reactions; when nuclear forces are involved in a reaction, such reaction is a nuclear reactor; not chemical reaction.

One of the roles of the electromagnetic force in chemical reaction is that it holds the electrons that are in the outer orbit around the nucleus; this, in the long run creates bonds with other chemical elements to create a visible matter.

Kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy are both forms of which type
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

<em>C. Potential energy</em>

Explanation:

Kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy are both forms of potential energy. Potential energy is stored energy, when an object is not in motion it has stored energy. When an object is an motion it has kinetic energy. An object posses gravitational potential energy when it is above or below the zero height.

which term is used when sugar is completely dissolved in water                                                                 
GaryK [48]
The term which is used is homogeneous.
when sugar is completely dissolved in the water, the mixture or solution homogeneous, both in same phase and same uniform texture that is liquid.
There two types of mixtures are heterogeneous and homogeneous in different phases.
If sugar is not completely dissolved in water and you see the crystals of sugar in water, then the solution will be heterogeneous.
