Answer:

neon

Explanation:

The octet rule states that atoms of elements are stable when they possess 8 electrons on their outermost shell.

Hence, atoms of elements participate in chemical reactions in order to attain this octet structure (eight electrons in the outermost shell).

Neon is a noble gas and already has eight electrons in its outermost shell. Hence, neon is least likely to obey the octet rule.

What term best defines the process that occurs when nuclei combine to produce a nucleus with more mass?
bekas [8.4K]
I just answered your other question and wrote all the definitions of the terms. I would say this is probably refering to Fusion because you are fusing together more nuclei into one nucleus. Fusion= bringing separate things into one entity.

What is the weight of dark matter​
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Knowing this, researchers from the University of Southern Denmark decided to investigate the size of these hypothetical hidden particles. According to the team, dark matter could weigh more than 10 billion billion (10^9) times more than a proton.

Explanation:

If this is true, a single dark matter particle could weigh about 1 microgram, which is about one-third the mass of a human cell (a typical human cell weighs about 3.5 micrograms), and right under the threshold for a particle to become a black hole.
