Chemically stable atoms are inert or less likely to form chemical bonds.A chemically stable element:
A)has l full outer electron shell
B)has the same number of protons as electrons
C)has an atomic number is equal to the atomic mass
D)forms hydrogen bonds

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A chemically stable element has a full outer electron shell, which means it does not need to gain or lose electrons to form chemical bonds. This makes it less likely to react with other elements and form chemical compounds. The other options, such as having an equal number of protons and electrons or forming hydrogen bonds, are not necessarily indicative of chemical stability.
