b. The elements having less than eight electrons in the outermost shell are reactive in nature
c. Metals have tendency to gain electrons present in the valence shell of other atoms to achieve nearest noble gas configuration

Answer 1

Answer:

There is no incorrect statement all statements are correct .

Explanation

a) Every element has tendency to complete their octet to become stable and attain the noble gas configuration

b) Yes the elements less than eight electrons in outermost shell are reactive because they want to complete their octet by reacting with other elements.

d) Transfer of electrons from one atom to another are called electrovalent compound or ionic compounds.
