Answer:

C.

Explanation:

In section 18 the elements are the most stable because they complete themselves without having to share electrons with other elements. Does that make sense?

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Elements of group 18 are also known as noble gases.

And, noble gases are the gases that have completely filled outermost shells.

For example, atomic number of neon is 10 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8.

As it has completely filled outermost shell hence, it does not need to either gain or lose an electron. Therefore, elements of group 18 are chemically inactive in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that one possible reason for the stability of the noble gas elements is that their outermost shell has the maximum number of electrons that it can hold.

The process by why subliminal stimuli act upon the unconscious mind, influencing behavior is called _________________ __________
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

subliminal perception.

Explanation:

Subliminal perceptions, also known as subliminal messages, are messages, either visual or auditory, that are presented just beyond the threshold of human perception. A subliminal perception may not be audible enough that the conscious mind might register it but be audible enough for the subconscious mind.

For example it might be an image transmitted briefly and unperceived consciously and yet perceived unconsciously.

When resources are limited, explain 4 ways by which lizard species on the Bahamas Island can coexist
aliina [53]

Answer:

Explanation:

Coexistence occur when individual occupying in a particular place are able survive with limited resources.

Dispersal - some of the lizard go hunting, they disperse themselves to various places to get resources.

Stability mechanism- this happen when individual stabilizes them selves in a particular habitat dealing with

environmental variations that may occur and drift them apart.

Equalizing mechanism - they all try to be at the same pace to avoid been out compete, even though some are stronger they equalize their energy for all to manage the limited resources.

What are two reasons why molecules will not diffuse into cells?
AlekseyPX
Molecules are defined as the smallest particles of a chemical compound or an element, and are made up of atoms. Cells are made up of semi permiable membranes that only allow selected materials to move in or out of the cell, therefore due to the big size of molecules compared to atoms the membrane doesn't allow their passage in the cell. Therefore the cell doesn't allow most molecules to diffuse passively to the cell. Secondly, molecules that can enter the cell requires specific carriers carriers that will enable entry of small molecules in the cell.
