Answer:

A half filled orbital is LESS LIKELY to be reactive than a fully filled orbital

Explanation: A fully filled orbital has the electronic configuration of a noble gas. That is, unreactive.

The quantum states of these orbitals(fully filled) are stable because the electrons in the sub shell are fully filled which makes it difficult for it to loose and gain electron unlike a half filled which is much more easier. It will take more energy for ionization to take place making it(fully filled) more stable.

Atherosclerosis

Explanation:

Correct order of the sequence of events that leads to atherosclerosis is:

c, d, b, a

Development of atherosclerosis is caused by a high concentration of LDL‐cholesterol in the blood, and lowering the level of LDL‐cholesterol reverses atherosclerosis thus preventing cardiovascular disease

Cholesterol is the key component of arterial plaques which gave rise to the cholesterol hypothesis for the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis

Population studies have shown that elevated levels of both LDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein B (apoB) 100, which is the main structural protein of LDL, are directly associated with risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular events

Vinvika [58]

Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number (neutral particle)and all isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons (positive particle) in each atom.So isotope B of the sodium will have 11 protons, 11 electrons but it may have a wide range in its number of neutrons.
