Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to the octet rule, it has been stated that every atom or element must have eight electrons in its valence shell, that is, the outermost shell.

For example, atomic number of chlorine is 17 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 7. So, in order to attain stability chlorine will readily react with another atom to gain an electron.

Therefore, after gaining an electron there will be in total 8 electrons in chlorine's valence shell. Hence, it will follow octet rule.

Thus, we can conclude that the octet rule suggests that atoms want to complete their energy level.

How has the energy of ocean waves altered the beach pictured above? A. It has caused the shoreline to erode. B. It has increased
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: Winds are primary energy source for currents that flow horizontally in the ocean surface layers (less than 100 to 200 m deep). Hence surface currents often called “wind driven currents” or “wind drift currents”.

Currents that flow deep in the oceans below the level affected by winds are generated by convection caused by variations in water density. Higher-density waters sink and displace (push aside or up) less –dense water. Because density is determined by temperature and salinity, deep-water circulation is called “thermohaline circulation”.

The winds are the primary source for both ‘wind driven circulation’ and ‘thermohaline circulation’ is the sun. Winds are generated by the density variations in the earth’s atmosphere caused by solar heating and radiative and evaporative cooling.

Thermohaline circulation is driven by density difference between ocean water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations.

Explanation:

This is the main cause to form a wave over the sea surface.

Polyps are distinct organisms that live in communities that make up coral. T or D
erica [24]

Correct answer: True

The coral reefs are made up of thousands of tiny animals called as polyps. These are related to anemones and jellyfish. It possesses a sac-like a body and an opening which is encircled by the stinging tentacles called as cnidae.

They use calcium and carbonate ions which are derived from the seawater to in order to make a hard, cup-shaped skeleton. It protects the soft and delicate body of the polyp.

Hence, the correct answer would be true
