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.
wherears one hydrogen atom has a mass of approximately 1 u ,1 mol of h atoms has a mass of approximately 1 gram and wherears one sodium atom has an approximately 1 gram and one sodium atom have approximate mass of 23 u
Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A polymer is a large molecule which contains repeating units.
A polymer forms long chain of atoms which are not necessarily arranged in a ring structure. There are not only double bonds between all the carbon atoms, as there can be single bonds or triple bonds between the atoms of a polymer.
A polymer does not contain many different type of molecules as there are many repeating units and not many molecules in a polymer.
A polymer is made of large molecules with repeating units.
Thus, we can conclude that option (D) is the correct answer.
Answer: Density, Volume, Shape
