Answer: The correct answer is the option: B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable.
Explanation:
Hello! Let's solve this!
We will analyze each of the options:
A. The group number of the element provides a clue to the number of valence electrons: it is correct, since it provides the number of valence electrons.
B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable: this is not correct, since elements with eight electrons in the valence shell cannot react because they already have the last complete shell. Therefore, they are chemically stable.
C. The points must be placed one at a time on each side of the chemical symbol: it is correct, because that is the way to make the point diagram.
D. An atom is chemically stable if all the points are paired: this is correct since this verifies that the point diagram has been done well.
We conclude that the correct answer is the option: B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable.
Hope this helps..... Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!! :D
For the first one the pattern is multiply the previous number by five as you see 1 x 5 = 5 and so on. To keep adding to it you would do
125 x 5 = 625 625 x 5 = 3125 3125 x 5 = 15625
Now for the second one the pattern is divide the previous number by three as you can see 2187 / 3 = 729 and so on. To keep going you would
81 / 3 = 27 27 / 3 = 9 9 / 3 = 3
I hope this helps you and if you have anymore questions i'll be glad to answer them.
Part 1: Potassium, and Rubidium.
Part 2: Calcium has 20 protons and 20 electrons because the atomic number for calcium is 20 and that determines how many protons there are and in an atom, the number of protons is the same number of electrons. Calcium has about 20 neutrons. I got the number of Neutrons by subtracting the mass number(40.078) and the atomic number(20), I got 20.078. Round to the nearest whole number because you cannot have half or partial neutron. So, Calcium has 20 protons, 20 electrons, and 20 neutrons,

During the summer, when the land is brown and the grass is green, the population of mice decreases because mice are easily spotted by the organisms that eat them.
How would this change affect the food web? Check all that apply.
A. It will increase the grass population.
D. It will decrease the snake population
E. It will increase the grasshopper population
hope this helps! If so please mark brainliest and rate/heart to help my account if it did!!
