Answer:
The electron configuration is [HE] 2s1
Answer:
Likely to gain electrons
Explanation:
The atom shown is likely to gain additional electrons to complete its electronic configuration.
- Since this is a neutral specie, the number of protons and electrons are the same.
- The atom has 16 electrons
- the number of valence electrons is 6
- If the atom gains two additional electrons, the octet configuration is attained
- Also, the atom can lose 6 electrons to become an octet
The atom will prefer to gain additional 2 electrons to give an octet configuration.
<span>c. About one month
To answer this question, TAKE A LOOK AT THE GRAPH. If you do so, you'll see that the first peak for prey happens at about 2.5 months. The first peak for predators happens at about 3.5 months, or in other words, lags by about a month. Looking at the second peak for prey and predator you see the figures of 8 months and 9 months. Another lag of about 1 month. Looking at the third peak, you see a bit past 13 months and a bit past 14 months. Another one month lag. Therefore the answer is "c. About one month"</span>
