Correct answer: has a completely filled outermost shell
Atoms of the element with complete outermost shells are stable. So, in order to attain stability the atom either loses electrons or gains electrons to completely fill the outermost shell. The stable electronic configuration for the s and p-block elements is exhibited by the noble gases or the group 8 elements. All the unstable atoms try to attain the electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas with completely filled outermost shell.
Answer:
The total number of orbitals for a given n value is n2.
Explanation:
For a hydrogen atom with n=1, the electron is in its ground state; if the electron is in the n=2 orbital, it is in an excited state.
I don’t know about 3 but I know that 4 is solid, 5 is you’ll feel the vibration first, 6 is you’ll see the lightning first because the speed of light is faster than the speed of sound and 7 is sound waves need a medium to travel and light waves don’t, sound waves are longitudinal and light waves are transverse, and sound waves are mechanical waves while light waves are electromagnetic waves

Answer: An ionic bond is a bond that forms between ions with opposite charges.
Explanation:
A chemical bond formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another is called an ionic bond.
For example, sodium has electronic distribution as 2, 8, 1 and chlorine has electronic distribution as 2, 8, 7.
In order to attain stability, sodium needs to lose 1 electron and chlorine needs to gain one electron. Therefore, sodium will transfer its one valence electron (forming 
ion) to chlorine atom (forming 
ion) which leads to the formation of NaCl compound.
Thus, we can conclude that an ionic bond is a bond that forms between ions with opposite charges.
