Describe the octet rule in terms of noble-gas configurations and potential energy

Physics

Elements will gain or lose electrons to form a noble gas configuration. Atoms that meet the octet rule are stable because their valence electrons have a relatively low potential energy. Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

Answer:

Octet rule is the ability of an element to have 8 electrons in its outer shell. This makes the element very stable.

Noble gases are also called stable gases due to their configuration. Noble gases configuration is the ability of an electron to lose or gain electrons so that they can obtain the electronic configuration that noble gases have.

Explanation:

Octet rule in terms of noble-gas configurations and potential energy can be described as the situation which is referred to rule of thumb whereby electrons combine together so that they have eight electrons in their outermost or valence shells which similar to the electronic configuration of noble gases.

Noble gases when they follow the Octet rule have a very low potential energy.

How does battery generate electric current in a circuit?
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

C. It creates negative electric charges and pushes them into the circuit

Explanation:

A battery has three main parts. The Cathode (Positive), the Electrolytes (energy source), and the Anode (negative). The anode takes energy from the electrolytes and creates more electrons. And because subatomic particles with the same charge don't like being in the same place, they move through the circuit to reach the cathode because opposites attract.

I hope this helps!

Along hot spots, vast amounts of basaltic lava can flow from fissures, forming:
Fynjy0 [20]

The answer would be flood basalt. This is the outcome of a huge volcanic eruption or sequence of eruptions that covers large expanses of land or the ocean floor with basalt lava. The development and effects of a flood basalt hinge on a variety of factors, like latitude, continental configuration, rate, volume, period of eruption, the preexisting climate state, style and location, and the biota flexibility to alteration.
