Read the false statement. atoms of elements with one valence electron form anions in order to meet the octet rule. which answer choice rewords the false statement so it is true?
a. atoms of elements with three valence electrons do not form ions because they meet the octet rule.
b. atoms of elements with five to seven valence electrons form cations in order to meet the octet rule.
c. atoms of elements with five to seven valence electrons form anions in order to meet the octet rule.
d. atoms of elements with one valence electron gain seven electrons in order to meet the octet rule.

The correct statement is option C.

Explanation:

Octet rule: In a chemical bond each atom tends to have 8 electrons in their valence shell.

So, for atom with one valence electron gaining 7 electron more will be difficult. but is can easily loose its 1 electron to form a cation.

The correct statement comes out to be:

Atoms of elements with five to seven valence electrons form anions in order to meet the octet rule.

a. a primary source combines several different accounts of an event. b. a primary source generally benefits from having been written after an event.

explanation:

the answer is 0.8m.
