Answer:
A cation is formed when a metal ion loses a valence electron while an anion is formed when a non-metal gains a valence electron. They both achieve a more stable electronic configuration through this exchange.
Answer:
Noble Gases are very stable because...
1) Noble Gases have a full octet
2) Low chemical reactivity
Explanation:
This means that is has 8 valence electrons so it won't need any more, so it is less likely to react with other substances.

Answer: spring tides
When earth, moon, and sun line up cause high and low tides :)
