Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Octet Rule
  • The octet rule states that atoms tend to form compounds in ways that give them eight valence electrons, achieving a stable electron configuration similar to noble gases.
Step 2: Evaluate Each Option
  • Option a: Having a full outer electron shell satisfies the octet rule.
  • Option b: Transferring inner electrons to fill the outer electron shell does not typically occur and does not satisfy the octet rule.
  • Option c: Transferring valence electrons in an ionic bond satisfies the octet rule.
  • Option d: Sharing valence electrons in a covalent bond satisfies the octet rule.
Step 3: Determine the Incorrect Option
  • Option b is NOT a way to satisfy the octet rule.

Final Answer

The correct answer is B.

The figure to the right shows the results of a survey in which 1000 adults from Country A, 1005 adults from Country B, 1019 adults from Country C, 996 adults from Country D, and 997 adults from County E were asked whether national identity is strongly tied to birthplace. National Identity and Birthplace People from different countries who believe national identity is strongly tied to birthplace Country A 30% Country B 22% Country C 25% Country D 54% Country E 13% Construct a 99% confidence interval for the population proportion of adults who say national identity is strongly tied to birthplace for each country listed. The 99% confidence interval for the proportion of adults from Country A who say national identity is strongly tied to birthplace is (0.263,0.337). (Round to three decimal places as needed.) The 99% confidence interval for the proportion of adults from County B who say national identity is strongly tied to birthplace is (0.186,0.254). (Round to three decimal places as needed.) The 99% confidence interval for the proportion of adults from County C who say national identity is strongly tied to birthplace is (0.215,0.285). (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
