Tuesday: November 10, 2015 Read 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. b. Carbon is the most stable element because it can form four bonds. c. Fluorine is the most stable element because it has to gain only one electron to achieve a stable configuration. d.
