The most suitable answer is C becuase they would gain two elctrons to atain that stable OCTET thus becoming a anion with a charge of -2 and by virtue oxidation states of -2.  There is however an exception with oxygen in two cases. But I still remain that the best answer would be C

Which of the following describes a condition in which an individual would not hear an echo?
egoroff_w [7]

Substance X has a fixed volume, and the attraction between its particles is strong. Substance Y has widely spread out particles
ycow [4]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In solids, molecules are held together by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. As a result, they are unable to move from their initial position and can only vibrate at their mean position.

Hence, a solid has definite shape and volume. Solids cannot be compressed.

Whereas in plasma, molecules are hot ionized which include positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons. They collide much more rapidly with each other and are widely spreaded out.

Therefore, they occupy the volume of container in which they are placed. Plasma can be compressed.

Thus, we can conclude that substance X is a solid and substance Y is a plasma.

Mrac [35]

Answer:

Chemical symbols are used to standardize the 'language of chemistry' and to identify elements and atoms in a chemical formula easily. Chemical symbols consist of one or two letters, most often derived from the name of the element.
