Answer: The statement is false

Explanation:

Electrons occupy a region in atoms known as orbitals or subs hell. These orbitals include

I) S-orbital: it can occupy a maximum of two electrons

II) P-orbital: It occupies a maximum of six electrons

III) D-orbital: it occupies a maximum of ten electrons

F and G-orbitals as examples of other orbitals present.

A good illustration of the 6 electrons occupied by the P-subshell is seen in Sodium (Na) with atomic number of 11

Na = 1s2, 2S2 2p6, 3s1

Note: extra electrons are transferred to the next orbital

Answer : Total molecules that will be needed to visualize a single egg will be 78500 molecules of dye.

Explanation : As a single egg cell has an approximately diameter of 100 μm.

We can use this formula to calculate area of the cell membrane;

A = π $(100)^{2} / 4$ ;

We can take π as 3.14 and we get;

A = 3.14 X $(100)^{2} / 4$

Soving we get;

A = 7850 μ $m^{2}$

Here we have to calculate the amount of dye molecules which will be needed for 10 fluorescent molecules / μ $m^{2}$ but;

here 1 μ $m^{2}$ = 7850 μ $m^{2}$ dye molecules.

Therefore, 10 fluorescent molecules will need;

7850 X 10 = 78500 molecules of dye.

Therefore, the answer is 78500 molecules of dye.

Seawater becomes warmer it expands. Heat in the upper layer of the ocean is released quickly into the atmosphere. However, heat absorbed by the deeper layers of the ocean will take much longer to be released and therefore, be stored in the ocean much longer and have significant impacts on future ocean warming.
