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.

Answer:

Option B, Apply auxin directly to the lower part of the stem opposite from the direction you want the stem to bend.

Explanation:

Options for the question are

A) Apply auxin directly to the shoot tip on the side to which you want the tip to bend.

B) Apply auxin directly to the lower part of the stem opposite from the direction you want the stem to bend.

C) Inject compounds that block auxin receptors into the part of the stem opposite from the direction you want the stem to bend.

D) Plant the roots in two different pots, and apply auxin to the root bucket that is on the same side as the direction you want the plant to bend.

Solution

Auxin is responsible for stem elongation by inhibiting growth of lateral buds. The movement of auxin is opposite to the direction of elongation of cells. Generally, Auxin moves to the dark side which is opposite to the direction i.e the lighter side in which cell elongate . Due to this growth pattern, the stem tip gets curved towards the light.  

Hence, option B is correct
