<h2>Answer</h2>

Bromination:

Any reaction or process in which bromine (and no other elements) are introduced into a molecule.

Bromonium Ion:

The bromonium ion is formed when alkenes react with bromine. When the π cloud of the alkene (acting as a nucleophile) approaches the bromine molecule (acting as an electrophile), the σ-bond electrons of Br2 are pushed away, resulting in the departure of the bromide anion.(2)

Mechanism:

Step 1:

In the first step of the reaction, a bromine molecule approaches the electron-rich alkene carbon–carbon double bond. The bromine atom closer to the bond takes on a partial positive charge as its electrons are repelled by the electrons of the double bond. The atom is electrophilic at this time and is attacked by the pi electrons of the alkene [carbon–carbon double bond]. It forms for an instant a single sigma bond to both of the carbon atoms involved (2). The bonding of bromine is special in this intermediate, due to its relatively large size compared to carbon, the bromide ion is capable of interacting with both carbons which once shared the π-bond, making a three-membered ring. The bromide ion acquires a positive formal charge. At this moment the halogen ion is called a "bromonium ion".

Step 2:

When the first bromine atom attacks the carbon–carbon π-bond, it leaves behind one of its electrons with the other bromine that it was bonded to in Br2. That other atom is now a negative bromide anion and is attracted to the slight positive charge on the carbon atoms. It is blocked from nucleophilic attack on one side of the carbon chain by the first bromine atom and can only attack from the other side. As it attacks and forms a bond with one of the carbons, the bond between the first bromine atom and the other carbon atoms breaks, leaving each carbon atom with a halogen substituent.

In this way the two halogens add in an anti addition fashion, and when the alkene is part of a cycle the dibromide adopts the trans configuration.

"survival of the fittest" best means that an organism is​
Nat2105 [25]

The answer is: Survival of the form that will leave the most copies of itself in successive generations.

"Survival of the fittest" is a phrase that originated from Darwinian evolutionary theory.

This is example of natural selection and adaptation.

Genetic variation is important to the population's ability to survive in different situations that affect natural selection.  

The environment is constantly changing and different alleles are favored.

lyudmila [28]
<span>The kingdom, protista’s characteristics are that the organism (not a plant, animal or fungus) are: unicellular however some are multicellular like algae, are heterotrophic or autotrophic, others lives in water while some live in moist areas or human body, have a nucleus, cellular respiration is primarily aerobic, some are pathogenic (e.g. causing Malaria) and reproduction is mitosis or meiosis. This kingdom includes: Sacordinians – pseudopods (e.g. Amoeba, Foraminiferans<span>.)</span>, Zooflagellates – flagellates (e.g. Trypanosoma gambiense), Ciliaphorans – ciliates (e.g. paramecium) and Sporozoans (e.g. Plasmodium).</span>

The products in a decomposition reaction _____.
alex41 [277]
I believe the answer is  <span>can be elements or compounds
In this case, elements in the decomposition reaction is the substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances.
Compounds, technically act as a reactant in the decomposition reaction, but since the reaction breakdown one substance into two or more, sometimes it exists in the product.</span>
