Phosphorus is atmotic number 15 When it comes to bonding with other atoms, what is phosphorus most likely to do?

Biology
1 answer:

4 0
Phosphorus has an electronic configuration in the simple form 2,8,5 and a spdf configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p³.

The valence electrons in phosphorus (the electrons available for bonding) are 5.  As a result, an atom of phosphorus shares its electrons with another atom to form COVALENT bonds.  This is ideal since it would take a high amount of energy to release these five electrons, and it would be unlikely for atoms to lose 5 electrons to donate to phosphorus.

A genetic mutation causes a newt to have faster reflexes. After many generations, most of the newt population has the reflex mut
timurjin [86]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Because the newts with this mutation have faster reflexes, they are able to evade predators much better than the normal newts. This increases their chances of survival hence are more likely to reach reproductive age than the normal newts. Therefore they have a higher probability of passing their genes to the next generations. With each generation, newts with the mutated gene will increase.
