Answer:

The correct option is: A carbon atom can complete its valence shell by forming four covalent bonds

Explanation:

Carbon is a chemical element that belongs to the group 14 of the periodic table. The atomic number of carbon atom is 6 and it is denoted by the chemical symbol C.

The electronic configuration of carbon is: 1s², 2s², 2p².  

Therefore, there are 2 electrons in the first electronic shell and 4 electrons in the second electronic shell of the carbon atom.  

<u>There are </u><u>four valence electrons </u><u>in a carbon atom and thus it can form four covalent bonds to complete its valence shell. Therefore, carbon atom is tetravalent.</u>

What primary event has occurred when a client experiences an ectopic focus?
Andreyy89
Ectopic focus or ectopic pacemaker happens when an excitable group of cells outside the normal sinoatrial node causes premature heartbeat. Sinoatrial node (SA node) is the pacemaker of the heart. Most people experience ectopic focus but persistent occurrence may need the client/patient to visit the doctor. If a client or patient complains of ectopic focus, it is better to consider his/her activity before visiting the clinic. Ask, for example if the client/patient had a vigorous exercise because it might be causing the irregular heartbeat, how often is he/she experiences such irregularity in his/her heartbeat (acute ectopic foci is usually non-life threatening, however, chronic type requires medical help), his/her lifestyle (he/she might be using illegal drugs, smokes and/or drinks alcohol,had too much coffee etc). Again, history taking is very vital.

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

COMMENSALISM

Explanation:

The interaction of organisms with one another in an ecosystem is called SYMBIOSIS, if it involves two organisms of same or different species. One type of symbiotic relationship is COMMENSALISM, which is a relationship in which one organism benefits while the other neither benefits or gets harmed.

This is the case of the burdock weed and its association with cows, deers or people. The burdock weed benefits from the relationship by getting Its seeds that attaches to the cow's, deer's or human's skin via its hooked-tip burrs, transported to varying locations. Thus, helping to spread the plant. The cow, deer, or human does not benefit fron this relationship neither is it harmed.

Which of the following levels is the least inclusive, smallest, and most specific of the choices? A. Kingdom B. Order C. Family
Solnce55 [7]
<span>The correct answer is C. Family. That is because the only things smaller than family are genus and species and they are not mentioned here. Life and domain are larger than kingdom and kingdom is larger than phylum. Class and order are smaller than phylum but are larger than family. That's why your correct answer is family.</span>
