Answer:
A
Explanation:
in a lewis structure, it shows the connectivity of a molecule as well as how many and where the valence electrons are located.
Lets take a moment to list all the characteristics of the group 18 (also known as noble gases and/or group 8) elements:
- They have 8 valence electrons.
- Don't need ANY more electrons because their octet is full (stable).
- Are stable
- Not reactive
- Known as the noble gases
Now.. lets take some time to think about why elements want to form ions:
Elements form ions to either gain or lose valence electrons to the element they bond with. This helps them GAIN a full octet. What is a full octet, you may ask? An octet is when an element has all 8 valence electrons and is stable, making it nonreactive.
Why would an element with a full octet want to bond? It already has a full octet, it does not need to bond.
That, my fellow Brainly user, is why the noble gases do not need to bond.
I really do hope this helps! Enjoy, and good luck on the studies.
K stands for thousands
1 k = 1000
1 milli = 0.001
covert 878kg to g
878 x 1000=878000 g or (8.78^5)
convert g to mg
878000 / 0.001 =878,000,000
=8.78^8
^ or E means power of
