Here I found some info at Yahoo answers: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090119191941AAB7oAb
The more electronegative an atom is the more unwilling it is to lose its electrons in a compound. If you do try to take a very EN atom away from a compound you'll need to apply a lot of energy for that to happen. I can give an example of a single atom though 

<span>Cl has 7 valence electron filled and every atom wants to be like nobles (noble gases), so it's not going to give an electron away b/c it's really close to being like a noble gas. Noble gases are the most stable atoms, which is why I say stability counts.</span>

What geologic action may produce a chain of volcanic islands
Zinaida [17]

The chains of volcanic islands can be found mostly alongside the borders of the convergent plate boundaries, more specifically, on the convergent boundaries between an oceanic and continental tectonic plates. That can easily be seen by the so called ''Ring of Fire'' where there's numerous chains of volcanic islands

Please help balance <br> _Ch7H16+_O2=_CO2+_H2O
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

C7H16 + 11 O2 → 7 CO2 + 8 H2O

This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:

7 C-16/7 - 44 e- → 7 CIV (oxidation)

22 O0 + 44 e- → 22 O-II (reduction)

C7H16 is a reducing agent, O2 is an oxidizing agent.

Reactants:

C7H16
