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.

Mary and Tommy are measuring 10 grams of sugar on an electronic balance that measures to the hundredths of a gram. Tommy records
PolarNik [594]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Precision refers to the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.

For Example: If you weigh a given substance five times and you get 3.2 kg each time. Then the measurement is very precise.  

Accuracy refers to the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value.

For Example: If the mass of a substance is 32 kg and one person weighed 31 kg and another person weighed 29 kg. Then, the weight measured by first person is more accurate.

According to the question:

Mass weighed by Mary = 10.00 g

Mass weighed by Tommy = 10 g

As, mass weighed by Mary is reported upto 2 decimal places. Thus, it is more precise.

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.
