32 electrons. as the orbitals get father away from the nucleus, they hold more electrons.
I couldn't really find anything about the growth time but it does say that it could remain viable in soil for up to 40 years
Natural selection makes it so that an organism from a species has a better chance of surviving than an organism in the same species, but with different traits. Survival of the fittest proves that certain traits can help an organisms survive better than its peers. For example, say there was an allele that made bears have thicker fur than others. The year-round climate is extremely cold. The bears with thicker fur are more likely to survive due to the warmth their fur provides and will have more offspring. The bears with thinner fur will die more often and not produce healthy offspring due to the frigid temperature. Eventually, the allele for thin fur will die out because the bears with these alleles cannot survive in their habitat.
Answer:

Explanation:
Let A₀ = the original amount of ⁵⁵Co
.
The amount remaining after one half-life is ½A₀.
After two half-lives, the amount remaining is ½ ×½A₀ = (½)²A₀.
After three half-lives, the amount remaining is ½ ×(½)²A₀ = (½)³A₀.
The general formula for the amount remaining is:
A =A₀(½)ⁿ
where n is the number of half-lives
n = t/t_½
Data:
A = 1.90 ng
t = 45 h
t_½ = 18.0 h
Calculation:
(a) Calculate n
n = 45/18.0 = 2.5
(b) Calculate A
1.90 = A₀ × (½)^2.5
1.90 = A₀ × 0.178
A₀ = 1.90/0.178 = 10.7 ng
The original mass of ⁵⁵Co was
