Read and answer the question below. Justify your response.
Study the electron dot diagrams for lithium, carbon, fluorine, and neon in
Figure 6-1. Choose the statement that correctly identifies the most stable of
the elements.
a.Lithium is the most stable element because it has to lose only one electron
to achieve a stable configuration.
