Explanation:
The oxidation number of chlorine can be -1, 0, +1, +3, +4, +5, or +7, depending on the substance containing the chlorine. The most common oxidation numbers are -1 (as in HCl and NaCl ) and 0 (as in Cl2 ).
The first bond between two atoms is always a sigma bond and the other bonds are always pi bonds and a hybridized orbital cannot be involved in a pi bond. Thus we need to leave one electron (in case of Carbon double bond) to let the Carbon have the second bond as a pi bond.
We have to round off each measurement to the number of significant figures.
The correct answers are: 265.9, 0.00045 and 65 respectively.
265.991 when expressed in 4 significant figure it rounds off as 265.9 because 265.9 represents the value 265.991.
0.0004513 when expressed in 2 significant figure it rounds off as 0.00045 because zero before and after decimal are not significant.
6593 when expressed in 2 significant figure it rounds off as 65.

DNA is an evolutionary clock that's extremely useful in our lives because it mutates. The mutations that occur in our DNA causes the organisms to diverge evolutionarily from one another, providing us our natural clock in the timeline of evolution.
