Answer:
1. Fluorine (7 electrons) => c. steals 1 electron
2. Calcium (2 electrons) => a. gives away 2 electrons
3. Oxygen (6 electrons) => d. steals 2 electrons
4. Lithium (1 electron) => e. gives away 1 electron
5. Xenon (8 electrons) => b. neither gives away nor steals any electron
Explanation:
Given the following valence electrons of the atoms listed above, each atom can be matched to its corresponding number of electrons it can steal or give away as they form bonds and attain a stable state:
1. Fluorine (7 electrons) => this will steal 1 electron from another atom to attain a stable state when it comes to make the number of electrons 8.
2. Calcium with 2 valence electrons, will give away this 2 electrons in its outer shell to be stable and form bond with another atom that will accept these 2 electrons.
3. Oxygen with 2 valence electrons, will steal 2 electrons to make the electrons in its outer shell 8, as it bonds with another atom to become stable.
4. Lithium will give away 1 electron to become stable when it combines.
5. Xenon with 8 electrons in its outer shell is in a stable state and kind of inert. It doesn't need to receive or steal any electron from or to any other atom in this state.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Addition of hydroxide ions will decrease its acidity and make it more basic.
The answer is D. Extracellular,
the main ions involve in osmoregulation in a cell are sodium and chloride. Intra-and extracellular distribution of K+ is
influenced, for example, by Na+/K+-ATPase
function, pH, Cellular catabolism and anabolism, Insulin and glucose. Parathormone
and calcitriol are important in the homeostatic regulation of phosphates.
Photosynthesis contributes to plant growth by B. taking in carbon dioxide and making sugars (carbohydrates)
