Answer:
Heavier noble gases are able to form compounds with other elements under specific conditions because their valence electrons are farther from the nucleus.
Explanation:
The name of noble or inert gas is due to the lack of reactivity with other elements. This is due to its electronic configuration, because its outermost shell or valence shell is always complete, without the need to share, give or receive electrons forming bonds. That is, its outer layer is so stable that the element tends not to react with others except in very specific cases.
These exceptions generally involve the heavier noble gases, such as xenon or radon, capable of forming compounds with fluorine and oxygen. This is because the heavier noble gases have more electron shells than the lighter ones. This characteristic causes the outermost electrons to experience a "shielding" effect due to the action of the inner electrons, and they can then be ionized more easily, since the attraction they receive from the positive charges of the nucleus is weaker. That makes the ionization energy low enough to form stable compounds with more electronegative elements, such as fluorine and oxygen.

The chemical formula for Sodium Fluoride is NaF.
Answer:
Answer C: It can affect fish and other marine life.
Explanation:
Hydropower plants can harm ecosystems, especially killing fish with their turbines.
Note: Hydropower generators do not directly emit air pollutants. However, dams, reservoirs, and the operation of hydroelectric generators can affect the environment. And greenhouse gases (GHG) such as Carbon Dioxide (MENTIONED IN ANSWER A) and methane form in natural aquatic systems and in human-made water storage reservoirs as a result of the aerobic and anaerobic decomposition of biomass in the water.
However, if we can choose just the only one answer, then the answer is C.

<span>Well, during the day, the water, as well as the surfaces surrounding the water, are heated by various thermodynamic processes: conduction, convection, radiation, etc. This in turn warms the water molecules in the lakes, streams, rivers, and oceans, thereby transferring heat (their kinetic energy) to the water molecules, which in turn receive that energy from the surrounding surfaces, or directly via radiation/insolation from the sun. When the water molecules attain enough energy, some of them attain enough energy to escape the surface of the liquid and enter the gas phase. Hence, as water is heated, more and more water molecules attain enough kinetic energy to enter the gas phase.</span>
