It depends on the number of valence electrons required to make octet or duplet( in case of H)
. For example, Nitrogen(atomic number = 7) has electronic configuration(2,5) which means nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and requires 3 more electrons to complete its octet. After gaining 3 electrons from atoms of an element with less electronegativity than N, it forms nitride ion (
).
Hope this helps.
43.8 has 3 significant figures and 1 decimal.
<h3 /><h3>What are significant figures?</h3>
The term significant figures refer to the number of important single digits (0 through 9 inclusive) in the coefficient of an expression in scientific notation.
All zeros that occur between any two non-zero digits are significant. For example, 108.0097 contains seven significant digits. All zeros that are on the right of a decimal point and also to the left of a non-zero digit are never significant. For example, 0.00798 contained three significant digits.
Hence, 43.8 has 3 significant figures and 1 decimal.

Answer:
B
The increase in the atomic number
C. The number of Valence electrons,
Every atom tries to follow the Octet rule i.e To have 8 electrons in its Valence shell.
Every atom tries to accomodate 8 electrons in its Valence shell to stabilize themselves, Metals usually have 1-3 eletrons in their Valence shell which they donate to non metals so their Valnce shell has 8 electroons, (The previous will now be the Valence shell and it will be full)
Similarly Non metals have 4-7 electrons, they accept electrons from metals so they can have 8 electrons in their Valence shell.
Noble gases already have 8 electrons in their Valance shell, so they do not react and stable.

Iron(II) oxide also refers to a family of related non-stoichiometric compounds, which are typically iron deficient with compositions ranging from Fe0.84O to Fe0.95O.
