Excluding the noble gas group, how does the number of valence electrons in an element influence its chemical stability? A. Elements with intermediate numbers of valence electrons are the last chemically stable.
B. Elements with the highest number of valence electrons are the most chemically stable.
C. Elements with intermediate number of valence electrons are the most chemically stable.
D. Elements wit the lowest number of valence electrons are the most chemically stable.

Is a  vector quantity  that refers to "the rate at which an object changes its position." imagine a person moving rapidly - one step forward and one step back - always returning to the original starting position. while this might result in a frenzy of activity, it would result in a zero velocity. because the person always returns to the original position, the motion would never result in a change in position. since velocity is defined as the rate at which the position changes, this motion results in zero velocity. if a person in motion wishes to maximize their velocity, then that person must make every effort to maximize the amount that they are displaced from their original position. every step must go into moving that person further from where he or she started. for certain, the person should never change directions and begin to return to the starting position.
