Answer is either B or all of the above. “G” is not an element on the periodic table. If it’s not a typo, then the answer is B.
Answer:
four electrons
Explanation:
Let us attempt to write the electronic configuration of carbon in the ground state. This electronic configuration will now be;
C- 1s2 2s2 2p2
The outermost principal energy level of carbon is the n=2 level which houses the 2s2 and 2p2, making a total of four electrons in the outermost principal energy level of an atom of carbon in the ground state.
There are some exceptions to the rule organisms such as a protist called a euglena can be both heterotrophic and autotrophic. This is a true statement.
Explanation:
- Euglena is a large genus of unicellular protists: they have both plant and animal characteristics
- Photoautotrophs include protists that have chloroplasts, such as Spirogyra. Heterotrophs get their energy by consuming other organisms. Other protists can get their energy both from photosynthesis and from external energy sources
- All live in water and move by means of a flag ellum. This is an animal characteristic. Most have chloroplasts, which are characteristic of algae and plants
- Euglena is photosynthetic in the presence of sunlight i.e autotrophic, when deprived of sunlight they behave like heterotrophs by predating on other smaller organisms.
- Most species of Euglena have photosynthesizing chloroplasts within the body of the cell, which enable them to feed by autotrophy, like plants. They can also take nourishment heterotrophically, like animals.
Ionic charge = +4
To answer this we look only at the protons and electrons. Because there are 4 more protons than electrons we know that this ion has 4 less electrons than it would need to have to have a neutral charge. Therefore, the ionic charge is +4
