Answer: The correct answer is 4.

Explanation-

The atomic number of carbon is 6. Its electronic configuration is 2,4

The electronic configuration depicts that k shell of the carbon atom contains 2 electrons. The outer shell or the valence shell contains 4 electrons.

Every atom wants to possess 8 electrons in its valence shell in order to become stable.

Thus, the number of electrons lacked by carbon atom = 8-4

                                                                                               = 4

A neutral carbon doesn't lack any electrons. It has exactly the same number of electrons as it has neutrons.
However, it has four electrons in its outer shell in comparison with eight electrons for a noble gas.
In that sense, it needs four electrons to complete its second shell.

The Grand Coulee dam and hydroelectric plant are located on the Columbia River in Washington state.
marin [14]

Answer:

Explanation: Hydropower is the generation of electricity from water through the construction of dams. it is a renewable energy source use over a wide range of environment. Construction of a waters storage project can raise the water level behind a dam from a few feet to several hundred feet by prevention water free flow called Inundation.

It leads to migration of human and other living organism such as fish and salmon. Salmon movement may be disoriented through the slower move of the water this leads to migration.

Fish moving around the dam coming in contact with turbines and the walls of the dam can become stressed, injured or die

vegetation and surrounding water it provide habitat for birds, waterfowl, and small and large mammals when hydroelectric project results in blockage of free-flowing river, the nesting, forage, and cover provided for the organism in these areas is temporarily or permanently lost.
