Answer:

The number of electrons in the outermost shell of a particular atom determines its reactivity, or tendency to form chemical bonds with other atoms. This outermost shell is known as the valence shell, and the electrons found in it are called valence electrons.

The noble gases are inert due to the fact that A. their valence shell is empty B. their valence shell is full C. their electrons

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

B) Their valence shell is full

Explanation:

In order to be classified as a noble gas, an element must have a complete octet/ a full shell of valence electrons, as shown in answer B.

A and C are just incorrect. Since noble gasses are very unstable, D is a true statement, but is isn't the correct answer as this does not explain why they are inert.

If the hydrogen ion concentration is 10-7M, what is the pH of the solution? Show all work.

Kobotan [32]

Remember pH=-log(H ions). So it would be pH=-log(10^-7).
