Carbon has four valence electrons. These electrons are associated for a specific atom and is responsible for forming a bond to different atoms. For carbon, in order to agree with the octet rule, it should have 4 more electrons. For an oxygen atom, there are 6 valence electrons present so it would need two more electrons. Thus, carbon atoms would share electrons with another two oxygen atoms wherein each oxygen atom would form double bonds with the carbon atom. So, the characteristics of these bonds would be that all of the four valence electrons of the carbon are being shared.

Citrus2011 [14]
The correct description for an atom of helium would be option C. An atom of helium has its valence electrons in its first energy level, it wouldn't and can't satisfy the Octet rule as it only has 2 electrons, but with 2, it has a full shell, as the first energy level can hold only 2 electrons.

What identifies an ion
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Identifying whether or not an element is an ion is a very simple process. Identify the charge of the element. ... The number of electrons is equal to the atomic number minus the charge of the atom. Refer to an element with either a positive or negative charge as an ion.

Robert Hooke: He was the first scientist to called cells to tiny box-like cavities he saw in cork and illustrated as cells.

A. Leeuwenhoek: he was a microscopist and microbiologist who used microscopes and observed many other living cells. He called animalcules to these single-cell living organisms later used to prove that cells are the fundamental unit of life.

Schwann and Schleiden:  They presented the theory that suggested that the cells are basic building blocks of all living things.

Virchow: He observed that the cell dividing and come from pre-existing cells.
