Question

Atoms with full valence electron shells are chemically stable. Most noble gases have eight valence electrons. So, one model for chemical bonding is the octet rule. This states that atoms will _________ or __________ electrons in order to reach the more stable arrangement of eight electrons in their valence shells. A) lose, gain B) conduct, share C) transfer, share D) conduct, transfer

Answer 1

Explanation:A: gain or lose

Answer 2

A - Gain or Lose

Step-by-step explanation:

Atoms with full valency electron shell are usually very stable. Most noble gases with full valency shell are usually very stable . The valency electron are fully occupied(8) for all noble gases this is what makes them hard to react with other element.

During chemical bonding elements strife to attain the octet rule. The octet rule is to have a full valency electron through bonding . When this atom bond they either transfer electron or share electrons.

The case of transferring electrons forms an ionic bonding. One atom gain electrons while the other lose electrons during ionic bonding. One atom form cation while the other forms anions.

For covalent bonding atoms are shared to attain the octet rule. This kind of bonding exist between a non metal and another non metals
