Answer:it Is called the "umbilical cord prolapse"

Explanation:in normal birth the baby comes out of the birth canal before the umbilical cord but in some emergency cases such the umbilical cord prolapse the cords slips ahead of the baby and moves into the cervical canal or vagina. This is basically a obstetrical emergency because the cord is at high risk of compression leading to blockage of oxygen and blood to the fetus.

Treatment :

A C section is usually necessary if such an emergency is to occur

Match each atom to the corresponding number of electrons it will steal or give away.
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

1. Fluorine (7 electrons) => c. steals 1 electron

2. Calcium (2 electrons) => a. gives away 2 electrons

3. Oxygen (6 electrons) => d. steals 2 electrons

4. Lithium (1 electron) => e. gives away 1 electron

5. Xenon (8 electrons) => b. neither gives away nor steals any electron

Explanation:

Given the following valence electrons of the atoms listed above, each atom can be matched to its corresponding number of electrons it can steal or give away as they form bonds and attain a stable state:

1. Fluorine (7 electrons) => this will steal 1 electron from another atom to attain a stable state when it comes to make the number of electrons 8.

2. Calcium with 2 valence electrons, will give away this 2 electrons in its outer shell to be stable and form bond with another atom that will accept these 2 electrons.

3. Oxygen with 2 valence electrons, will steal 2 electrons to make the electrons in its outer shell 8, as it bonds with another atom to become stable.

4. Lithium will give away 1 electron to become stable when it combines.

5. Xenon with 8 electrons in its outer shell is in a stable state and kind of inert. It doesn't need to receive or steal any electron from or to any other atom in this state.
