Electrons in the outermost energy level are usually involved in chemical reactions which are called ___________________ .

Biology
1 answer:
Elena-2011 [213]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Chemical bonding

Explanation:

Outer most shell's electrons are called valence electrons and they are responsible for the formation of chemical bonds either ionic or covalent when atoms react with each other.

Outer most electrons hold immense importance in the type of chemical bonding an atom will go through in the formation of a molecule.

For example, sodium has only one electron in outermost shell so it is very hard for sodium to share electrons and become stable. Therefore, it never goes for covalent bonding but only goes for ionic bonding where it gives off one electron to another atom (say chlorine who has 7 electrons in outermost shell) and in this process sodium chloride is formed and both sodium and chlorine get stable electronic configuration.

Please see picture for better understanding. Therefore, we can say that  Electrons in the outermost energy level are usually involved in chemical reactions which are called chemical bonding or formation of chemical bonds.

Hope it help!

Which of the following represents the correct format for the scientific name of an organism? Which of the following represents t
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

<em>Staphylococcus aureus</em>

Explanation:

According to the rule of binomial nomenclature, the name of the organism is written in two parts that are-

1. Generic name- The first name which signifies the genus of the organism, the word represents the noun of the organism, the first letter of the word is always uppercase that is like in the "Staphylococcus"

2. The specific epithet-the second name of the organism represents the species which is usually a noun, and the first letter of species is always written in lowercase like in the aureus.

The scientific name should be written either in the italicised form or if not possible to write in the italicised form than underline the name.

Thus, <em>Staphylococcus aureus </em>is correct.

the galapagos tortoise are biodiverse. tortoises in a more barren area have a flat shell and long neck to help grasp the sparse
natima [27]

Answer:

<em>This is an example of natural selection (adaptation).</em>

Explanation:

Natural selection tends to favor those organisms which are better adapted to live in an environment.

As tortoises having flat shell and long neck were better adapted to live in barren area, hence through natural selection those organisms were favored in such an ecosystem.

As tortoises that lived on the vegetative lands were more adapted to live in such an ecosystem, hence through natural ecosystem these organisms were favored and increased in numbers.
