The correct answer is the octet rule.

Octet rule states that atoms tend to bond in order to have 8 electrons in their outer most electron orbit achieve stable configurations of noble gases.

When atoms form covalent bonds, they achieve the goal of having 8 electrons by sharing the electrons.

In ionic bond, atom either gain or lose an electron and form ions that have the stable configuration of 8 valence electrons.

Not all atoms follow the octet rule and there are many exceptions and variations.

We have a sample of water vapor which cools from 150 °C to 125 °C. What happens to the motion of the molecules during this time
pentagon [3]

The motion of the molecules decreases.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Gases are formed when the energy in a system overcomes the attractive forces between the molecules. The gases expand to fill the space they occupy. In this way, the gas molecules interact little. In the gaseous state, the molecules move very quickly. As the temperature decreases, the amount of movement of the individual molecules also decreases.
  • The fast-moving particle slows down. When a particle speeds up, it has more kinetic energy. When a particle slows down, it has less kinetic energy. The particles in solid form are commonly connected through electrostatic powers. They don't get enough space to move around, therefore, their speed diminishes, they can't keep their standard speed like in the vaporous or fluid state.
