Answer:
1. Fluorine (7 electrons) => c. steals 1 electron
2. Calcium (2 electrons) => a. gives away 2 electrons
3. Oxygen (6 electrons) => d. steals 2 electrons
4. Lithium (1 electron) => e. gives away 1 electron
5. Xenon (8 electrons) => b. neither gives away nor steals any electron
Explanation:
Given the following valence electrons of the atoms listed above, each atom can be matched to its corresponding number of electrons it can steal or give away as they form bonds and attain a stable state:
1. Fluorine (7 electrons) => this will steal 1 electron from another atom to attain a stable state when it comes to make the number of electrons 8.
2. Calcium with 2 valence electrons, will give away this 2 electrons in its outer shell to be stable and form bond with another atom that will accept these 2 electrons.
3. Oxygen with 2 valence electrons, will steal 2 electrons to make the electrons in its outer shell 8, as it bonds with another atom to become stable.
4. Lithium will give away 1 electron to become stable when it combines.
5. Xenon with 8 electrons in its outer shell is in a stable state and kind of inert. It doesn't need to receive or steal any electron from or to any other atom in this state.
According to one source, a single almond will require about 1.1 gallons of water to grow, and one half-gallon carton of almond milk contains anywhere from 30 to a whopping 225 almonds.
Answer:
One-half of the daughters of an affected man would have this condition.
Explanation:
Each daughter born to a woman that is positive for a dystrophin mutation on one of her two X chromosomes possess a 50 percent likelihood of possessing the mutation and also becoming a carrier. Carriers at times do not show the disease symptoms but may give birth to a child that has the mutation or the disease condition. DMD carriers do have a higher chance of cardiomyopathy.
A man with DMD cannot transfer the affected gene to his sons since he passes to his son a Y chromosome, not the X chromosome. But he will definately transfer it to his daughters, since each daughter possess her father’s only X chromosome resulting in the daughters being carriers.
Hence, One-half of the daughters of an affected father and a carrier mother could have this condition.
<span>The question says, the corn we eat today is larger and has more kernels than the corn people first grew thousands of years ago. Which process is most likely responsible for the changes that have occurred. The correct option is 'succession'. Succession is the process by which change occur in the composition, structure or architecture of a specie over a period of time.</span>
