Iodine is one of seven elements that usually form as diatomic molecules. These other "diatomics" are $O_2, H_2, F_2, Br_2, N_2,$ and $Cl_2$ . They typically bond to themselves.

Iodine has seven valence electrons. Using valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory, we can predict the Lewis dot structure for $I_2$ . We see there are fourteen electrons, and we can make a covalent bond, leaving three lone pairs on each atom. The bond replaces two electrons, so the number of electrons shared is two.

It would be B because you want to know which TEMPERATURE is the best for the plant. Different brightness for a bulb will give different amounts of heat. Since the amount of heat is your INDEPENDENT VARIABLE, you have to change the amount of heat for each plant, so the brightness of bulbs. Therefore, B is your answer!

Answer: Because water has a high specific heat capacity due to the hydrogen bonding within the H₂O molecules ; so it takes a great deal of energy, or heat, to break these bonds— or to form them.
