C. The number of Valence electrons,
Every atom tries to follow the Octet rule i.e To have 8 electrons in its Valence shell.
Every atom tries to accomodate 8 electrons in its Valence shell to stabilize themselves, Metals usually have 1-3 eletrons in their Valence shell which they donate to non metals so their Valnce shell has 8 electroons, (The previous will now be the Valence shell and it will be full)
Similarly Non metals have 4-7 electrons, they accept electrons from metals so they can have 8 electrons in their Valence shell.
Noble gases already have 8 electrons in their Valance shell, so they do not react and stable.
Hope it helps :)
This process is called the water cycle
Two lobes.
The shape of four sp3 hybrid orbitals is part s and part p-each has two lobes but one lobe is much bigger (which is the lobe used for bonding)

When the temperature increases, warms, or heats up the molecules become excited. Their movement becomes faster and they tend to move far apart from other molecules.
