Answer:

Oxygen's valence is 2

Explanation:

Given -

Atomic number of oxygen is 8

The electrons at second energy level must be 8 (8 electron signifies a complete octate/stable state)

It is given that there are 6 electron at second energy level, thus number of electrons required to reach a stable state is equal to

= 8-6\\= 2\\

Since, oxygen needs two electron thus it will act as receiver and hence, it valence will be equal to 2

8. A scoop of ammonium nitrate is added to a beaker of water. Which is a quantitative observation of the experiment?
BaLLatris [955]

The correct answer is B. The temperature of the water decreased by 5°C

Explanation:

Temperature and the changes in it are part of quantitative observations because these can only be measured and understood through numbers. Indeed, the temperature is globally measured through different numerical scales such as the Celsius or the Kelvin scale. This does not occur in other qualities such as color because this is considered and analyzing using qualities or traits rather than values. According to this, the correct answer is "The temperature of the water decreased by 5°C."

How is crossing over different than simply receiving a particular allele from each parent?
MrRa [10]
Crossing over gives the offspring sort of a genetic variation twist. This will mix our two genes and make them diverse, but together.
