<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>

Breaking an object such as a mirror is an example of physical change, chemical change,physical reaction, chemical reaction
dangina [55]

Answer:

option A= Physical change

Explanation:

physical change:

" It is a change in which no new substance is formed"

Breaking of object like glass is the example of physical change because it is not change into another object. It effect the form of object but can not change the chemical composition.

Chemical changes:

" it is a change in which one substance is converted into new product through chemical reaction".

During the chemical changes the types and the number of atom remain same but their arrangement changed.

for example: burning of wood, baking of cake, digesting food, resting of iron etc.

Physical reaction:

" physical reaction occur during the molecular rearrangement. There is no chemical change occur"

In this type of changes no bonds are break to form new bonds, for example boiling point.

Chemical reaction:

" chemical reaction occur when molecules are chemically react with each others and bonds formation and breaking is also occur"
