The table shows the total number of electrons in atom a and atom b. atom number of electrons a 10 b 18 which statement is correct? a will give up electrons to form bonds. b will give up electrons to form bonds. both a and b will be chemically unreactive. both a and b will gain electrons to become stable.

Both A and B will be unreactive!

Explanation:

10=2, 8

18=2, 8, 8

Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is given that atom A contains 10 electrons so, its electronic distribution is 2, 8. Whereas atom B contains 18 electrons so, its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 8.

Since, both these atoms have completely filled octet so they do not need to react with any other element in order to attain stability.

Therefore, both these elements are unreactive in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that both A and B will be chemically unreactive.

the answer is b. dilution

the answer is:  

line graphs show patterns in data with variables that change over time; whereas, circle graphs show data as parts out of a whole (such as out of 100%).
