Which sublevels are occupied in the outermost principal energy level of an argon atom in the ground state?

answer; i believe the correct answer is (solid gold);

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.

the answer is c.the valence of the atoms combine .
