Explanation:

It is known that atomic number is the number of protons present in an atom. Also, when an atom is neutral then number of protons equal number of electrons.

Hence, fluorine has atomic number 9 so there will be 9 electrons in a fluorine atom. It's electronic configuration will be 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{5}.

So, in order to acquire stability fluorine atom will accept one electron from another atom. Therefore, it will result in the formation of F^{-1} ion.

Thus, we can conclude that there are total 10 electrons in a fluorine ion.

Fluorine is a nonmetallic, diatomic gas with the symbol F and atomic number 9. Atomic number represents the number of protons in the atom. When F is neutral it means that the number of protons is equal to number of electrons. But, when F is an ion (F-), the it has more electrons (10) than protons, meaning its an anion.

Explain the importance of immunological memory cells. Describe in detail how and when memory cells arise and explain how they fo
Vlad1618 [11]

Explanation:

<em>Immunological memory</em> is the property of the immune system to store information about a stimulus so it can mount an effective response if it encounters the same stimulus again being this second response quicker and stronger even after years since the first encounter.

This kind of response is dependent on many subpopulations within T and B lymphocytes and NK cells. When encountering an antigen, B cells recognize it by membrane antibody specifically binding to the antigen and then being activated to expand rapidly with their progeny clones differentiating into plasma and memory B cells, these last ones have a long life span to remain in the body, ready when another encounter with the same stimulus occurs, this is how the basis for effective immunizations happens.

I hope you find this information useful! Good luck!

A PICC line is a long catheter inserted through the veins of the antecubital fossa.

Explanation:

PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter) that are mainly used as a part of chemotherapy for the administration of the particular substances. This can be used for the long period of time in the individual.

The long catheter is inserted in the body through the skin mainly at the peripheral site of the body. This can be inserted for the weeks depending on the severity of treatment. The veins of the antecubital fossa is used for the insertion of the tube.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).
