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.

Once inside the lungs, these arteries split into increasingly smaller branches that eventually reach the pulmonary capillary bed
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

This is the site of gaseous exchange

Explanation:

Gaseous exchange is the mechanism by which oxygen is substituted for CO₂ in the body. CO₂ laden blood is carried to the alveoli, which is wrapped with numerous capillary beds and with walls that are thin. When a person inhales, the difference in the partial pressure of the various gases ( oxygen and carbon dioxide) causes them t move down their concentration gradients, with CO₂ diffusion into the lungs from red blood cells, and oxygen binding to the haemoglobin in the red blood cells, after which they are carried to all body tissues for cellular respiration. During exhalation, the CO₂ in the lungs is expelled to the exterior and the process repeats.

Besides distance why can't you see across an ocean to land on the other side
Bogdan [553]
If I recall correctly, I was taught:
The particles in the air (dust, smoke, etc.) increase in density the farther you look. Causing a "fog" effect as you look across large distances. Including shore to shore of an ocean.
