Explain why atoms would gain or lose electrons in order to resemble the elements in the particular group you named above. Consider what you learned about elements in that group.

Answer

Explanation:

the number of electrons in the outermost shell of an element is represented in the periodic table as the group number that element is situated in. ... the number of electrons in all shells of an element is represented in the periodic table as the element's atomic number.

the electronic configuration of an atom with eight electrons is 1s²2s²2p⁴. the orbital diagrams are shown in the figure.

as per the hunds rule:

1. electrons tend to avoid being in the same orbital as per as practicable.

2. electrons in different orbitals of the same energy will have their spin parallel.

this can be illustrated from the multiplicity of the orbitals of the atom. as there are four electrons in the p orbital and p orbital has 3 sub-shells. the electrons can be fed in different ways as shown in the figure but the correct orbital diagram will be as per the hunds rule.

under a microscope, cancer cells may look very different from normal cells. they often have different sizes and some may be larger than normal while others are smaller. cancer cells are often abnormally shaped and the control centre of the cell (the nucleus) may have an abnormal appearance.
