Answer: Atoms form chemical bonds to satisfy the<u> Octet</u> rule and to become <u>stable.</u>
Explanation:
The tendency of atoms to attempt to get a noble gas configuration that is eight valence electrons is said to be octet rule. This is done to attain noble gas configuration and stability.
In order to attain stability the atoms tends to have eight electrons in its valence shell which can be obtained by either by sharing of electrons or complete transfer of electrons.
For example : As we know that the sodium has one valence electron, so if giving it up then the result in the same electron configuration as the neon and chlorine has seven valence electrons, so if it takes one it will have eight and the result in the same electronic configuration as the argon which is stable.

Answer:
<em>D) raises blood glucose levels. </em>
Explanation:
Glucagon is a small polypeptide synthesized by cells. This 29 amino acid peptide hormone is synthesized by pancreas alpha cells and has a molecular weight of 3485 dalton
It has an opposite effect to insulin by increasing blood glucose levels since it increases phosphorylase activity through cyclic AMP, after binding to glucagon receptors coupled to protein G on hepatocytes.
It is a stress hormone. Stimulates catabolic processes and inhibits anabolic processes.
The correct answer is D. raises blood glucose levels.
This is a
redox reaction where oxidation and a reduction occur.
<span>Here, Mg goes to Mg²</span>⁺ <span>by changing
its oxidation
number from 0 to +2 while S goes
to S²</span>⁻ <span>by reducing its oxidation
state from 0 to -2 .
Hence Mg is
oxidized by S in the
reaction.</span>
Reducing agent <span>is a substance which reduces other
substance by oxidizing itself. Hence, the reducing
agent of this reaction
is <span>Magnesium.</span></span>
