Atoms of the main group elements either gain or lose electrons so they have eight electrons in the outermost energy level. In doing so, they attain a noble gas electron configuration. Match these elements with the number of electrons they gain or lose.

The diagrams to the right show the distribution and arrangement of gas particles in two different containers. according to kinetic-molecular theory, which of the following statements is true? check all that apply. if the temperatures of both containers are equal, container a has greater pressure than container b. if the volume of container a decreased, its pressure would decrease. if the pressure in both containers is equal, container a has a lower temperature than container b.
