Number of covalent bonds by an atom is equal to number of unpaired electrons.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Valency of an atom is defined as the combining capacity of an atom. Valence electrons are defined as the number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom.

Now for an atom, when more than one electrons are present, then  they often forms a pair. Like for example, if there are 7 valence electrons, 6 get as pairs and only one electron is unpaired. So this is why the halogens like fluorine, chlorine etc has the Valency of 1. For oxygen, 4 valence electrons become paired. And rest 2 electrons form 2 covalent bonds.

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Charles Ehler: incorrect.

Wendell Mullison: correct.

Robert Rodriguez: correct.

Judy Johnson:correct.

Explanation:

-Charles Ehler´s statement is incorrect because in order for a chemical company launch a new product it must pass several tests, that´s why products lasts years in proves, there are several tests such as the environment test that proves that the product doesn´t affect other species, or the human safety that makes sure the product doesn´t affect human health.Wendell Mulison´s statement proves to be correct with this as well.

-Robert Rodriguez´s statement  is correct because even though there are several tests that take care human healt there are just a few based on the damage pesticides produce to the land where are used.

-Judy Johnson´s statement is correct because science has proved that the resistant of parasites as being increasing with the products tat are used to combat them. Bacterias are an example of it, many drugs used against bacterias are now useless for some people because of the resistantthey have developed.

-One specie that can be taken as a pesticide can be the ground snail, that affects some plants and also may contain a parasite aclled "Hepatic fasciola" that affects sheeps and goats of farmers.

-One viable method to control pesticides is the sue of other species to control them, this specie has to be adequate to the land, for example, if a farmer wants to get rid of the ground snails because of the parasite and  the damage they do to their platings, they can introduce ducks to the farm that eat them without damaging the land with any kind of chemical product.

julsineya [31]

<u>Answer</u>: Natural selection.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The concept of <em>natural selection</em> was given by <em>Charles Darwin.</em>
  • According to this concept, in a given environment the organisms that possess <em>better adaptations</em> have<em> higher chances of survival</em> and, leave behind a <em>greater number of progenies</em>.
  • When malaria outbreak occurs, the allele frequencies change and only the organisms that possess the alleles which help them to <em>survive</em> this outbreak due to resistance against malarial infection will be selected by nature and<em> hence, this is an example of natural selection.</em>
