Atoms have electrons filled in energy shells.
1. H - hydrogen atom has one electron in the First energy shell. Therefore hydrogen has a partially filled first energy shell
2.Li - Li electron configuration is 2,1
The outermost energy shell is the second energy shell in which there is only one electron
Therefore the second energy shell is partially filled. This is the correct answer
3. K - electron configuration is 2,8,8,1
The outermost energy shell is the fourth energy shell which is partially filled. The second energy shell is completely filled
4.Na - electron configuration is 2,8,1
The outermost energy shell is the third energy shell which is partially filled
Second energy shell is completely filled
From the given options Li is the only element with a partially filled second energy shell
Answer is Li
Resources that come from nature, some examples include: Water, Gold, Oil, Coal, Apples, Oranges, etc.
Where are the following elements to choose from?
Answer:
1. aa
2. They have similar DNA
Explanation:
1. According to the question 1, wrinkled seeds (A) are dominant over round seeds (a) in pea plants. This means that, based on the law of dominance proposed by Mendel, wrinkled seeds will be expressed over round seeds in a heterozygous state (Aa).
However, since the round seed phenotype is a recessive trait, it will only be expressed when the alleles for round seeds (a) are the same in the gene i.e. aa genotype.
2. Based on the information in question 2, Ricky, who is working on a family tree for his school project, realizes that his close relatives all look similar in the pictures he collected. This is possible because of the SIMILARITY OF THEIR DNA (genetic material). Note that, relatives are connected by the genes that are inherited from one another, hence, they possess a similar DNA, which is the most valid reason for the resemblance.
Lithium has one available electron in the outer (valence) shell (2s¹).
1s² 2s¹
