Answer:
The first energy level is closest to the nucleus. The second energy level is a little farther away than the first. ... The electrons in the energy level farthest from the nucleus are called valence electrons. Atoms in the same column (group) in the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons.
Explanation:
The number of covalent bonds that an atom can make is determined by the no. of electrons needed to form a duplet or octet of electron by each of the atom.

Answer and explanation:
The relative rates of free radical halogenation is in the order of,
F₂ (10⁸) > Cl₂ (1) > Br₂ (10⁻¹¹) > I₂ (10⁻²²)
The above order also show a decreasing reactivity from left to right
Hence, reaction of fluorine with alkanes is highly reactive and it is too difficult to control.
The reaction with Cl₂ is moderately fast, while with Br₂ is slow and with I₂ is too slow reaches to equilibrium.
Hence in general we don't prefer radical fluorination of alkanes.
Radio waves can harm people, but due to the wavelength of the X-Rays which are extremely dangerous to humans, and the wavelength of Radio waves (which are calm compared to the way X-Rays look) compared side by side, it would take extensive exposure to the Radio waves to cause disease, cancer, or even death. Hope I helped!
