Answer:
A. Atoms gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full valence shell
Explanation:
The octet rule is best explained as the process in which atoms lose or gain or share electrons to achieve a full valence shell.
- In this process bonds are formed when there is an attraction between the two substances.
- For electrovalent compounds, an atom will lose electrons or gain electron to form an ion, the electrostatic attraction causes the bond formation.
- Covalent compounds, form by sharing of electrons.
Therefore, the octet rule is attained when atoms gain full valence configuration.
Answer:
liquid and gas........................
"<u>Nuclei</u>
" are called as building blocks of the universe.
Option: D
<u>Explanation</u>:
Smallest unit of this universe was considered to be an atom but “Rutherford 's Nuclear Model of Atom” in 1911 discovered nucleus which is small and heavy positively charged body present in center of atom. An atom also have extra nuclear part which is space around nucleus, where electrons (negative charged) are distributed. Nucleus is contained with protons (positive charged) and neutrons (neutral) which are definitely very smaller than nuclei but as a building unit or block of the universe nuclei is considered.
