<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Valence electrons form bonds to create molecules and compounds because they are weaker than the electrons found closer to the nucleus. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Electrons, being negatively charged particles definitely get attracted to the positively charged nucleus. <em>Thus the distance between electrons and nucleus determines the strength of bonding of electrons to the atom. </em>

Valence electrons are present in the outermost shell of the atom and thus the distance between the <em>nucleus and valence electrons is large when compared with the electrons in the inner shells. </em>

In order to form bonds to make molecules and compounds electrons should be weakly bonded to the parent atom. Thus the <em>weak bond with parent atom makes valence electrons the active participants in a chemical reaction. </em>

Which type of telescope would perform better on a mountaintop than at a lower elevation?
marishachu [46]

when an optical telescope located on the ground is used to view the sky the image has to surpass through the earth's atmosphere which is polluted. so the resolution wont be clear. When viewed on a mountain top both optical and infrared telescopes would perform better as the air above the atmosphere is less depth and cleaner.

Which best describes nuclear fission
Firlakuza [10]
<span>Nuclear fission is either a nuclear reaction or radio active decay process in which nucleus (the center) of an atom splits into smaller parts called nuclei. This is an extremely exothermic reaction (i.e a reaction which produces heat) resulting into release of massive amount of energy in the form of heat and sometimes light. The reaction produces much more energy as compared to a similar mass of a conventional fuel, such as Petrol/Kerosene/Petroleum Gas etc. This makes Nuclear fission an extremely dense and at times very destructive source of energy. Some common elements capable of Nuclear fission are Uranium, Plutonium etc. Though in modern days Nuclear Fission are finding application in being a source of energy (such as a Nuclear power plant), but they are also used in destructive format as Nuclear Bombs and it's one of the top most imminent threats to the existence of humanity in future (in the event of a Nuclear war).</span>
