Answer:
To gain stability
Explanation:
If the outermost shell is not completely filled with electrons, the element has one of the three options: gaining electrons, losing electrons or sharing electrons. By gaining or losing electrons, ionic compounds are produced. Sharing of electrons results in the formation of covalent compounds.
Answer:
Physical
Explanation:
because the erosion of the canyon did not change any of the chemical attributes of the rock it only changed the appearance. it may have changed the color which is an example of chemical properties but in this case, it is physical. But in other cases, you would refer to this type of weathering as mechanical weathering.
Answer: 127.5ml
Explanation:
To calculate the volume of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

where,
are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is 
are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is KOH.
We are given:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Thus 127.5 ml of 0.5M of HNO3 would be needed to react with 85ml of 0.75M of KOH
