Explanation:
The valence electrons within an atom is the number of electrons in its outermost shell.
These electrons are used by an atom to react with one another. They determine the extent to which an atom is ready to combine either by losing, gaining or sharing these electrons.
- Every atom desires to have a completely filled outermost shell.
- Only the elements in group 8 have a complete octet.
- The need to attain stability is driven by the number of electrons in their valence shell.
- Therefore, some atoms are very reactive.
- Those needing one electrons to complete their octet and also those that must lose one electron are very reactive.
The statement seems to be true, as per my knowledge.

Answer: B. 4 moles Fe and 3 moles CO2
Explanation:
write a balanced chemical reaction
that is FeO3 + 3 CO → 2 Fe + 3CO2
2 moles of Fe2O3 reacted with 3 x2=6 moles of Co to form Fe and CO2 therefore CO was in excess and Fe2O3 was limiting reagent.
use the mole ratio to determine the moles of each product.
that is the mole ratio 0f Fe2O3 : Fe is 1:2 therefore the moles of Fe = 2x2=4 moles
the mole ratio of Fe2CO3 : CO2 is 1: 3 therefore the moles of Co2 = 2 x3 = 6 moles
