Answer:A): four electron shells

Explanation:

In the period table, atoms are arranged in rows called periods and columns called groups. The arrangement of atoms in groups is based on the number of their valence electrons while the arrangement of atoms across the periods is based on their number of electrons shells. Atoms are arranged across the periods in increasing order of their atomic number i.e., according to their number of electrons. Potassium has 19 electrons while copper has 29 electrons. Both has four electrons shells according to their electronic configuration.

What role does evolution play in the emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacteria?

tiny-mole [99]

1.Antibiotic resistance is a consequence of evolution via natural selection. The antibiotic action is an environmental pressure; those bacteria which have a mutation allowing them to survive will live on to reproduce. They will then pass this trait to their offspring, which will be a fully resistant generation.

2. Bacteria evolve quickly because they grow fast and can share genes. Helpful mutations spread quickly in bacteria.

3.Taking antibiotics too often or for the wrong reasons can change bacteria so much that antibiotics don't work against them. This is called bacterial resistance or antibiotic resistance

4. Antibiotic resistance leads to higher medical costs, prolonged hospital stays, and increased mortality. The world urgently needs to change the way it prescribes and uses antibiotics.

Which equation satisfies the law of conservation of matter?

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. 3O₂ + 2Al → 2AlO₃

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can nether be created nor destroyed in a closed system or chemical reaction i.e. the total mass of the matter always remains the same throughout the chemical or physical change.

For example, in the given reaction 3O₂ + 2Al → 2AlO₃ the total mass of the reactants is equal to the total mass of the product.

Mass of oxygen = 16 x 3 = 48 AMU

Mass of aluminium = 2 x 27 = 54 AMU

Total molecular mass of the reactants = 102 AMU

Total molecular mass of the product = 2 x 27 + 6 x 8 = 102 AMU.

Hence, the total mass of the matter remains the same.
