<span>Valence is defined as number of electrons that are present in the outermost orbital. Oxygen is in the 16th column of the periodic table and the total number of valance electrons is determined by units place digit of the column position which is 6 for oxygen. The outermost orbital is the high energy level and there are two in that orbit. So the valance is +2.</span>
<span> i think it si called an autotroph?</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
Artificial selection is the process by which humans choose individual organisms with certain phenotypic trait values for breeding. If there is additive genetic variance for the selected trait, it will respond to the selection, that is, the trait will evolve.
Answer:
texture
Explanation:
Elements have been classified into three categories namely; metals, non-metals and metalloids. This classification was done based on certain characteristics or properties possessed by each element. Some of the characteristics used are: lustre, malleability, conductivity, melting point, boiling point etc.
- Metals are very good conductors of heat and electricity whereas metalloids and nonmetals are not.
- Metals and metalloids shine when polished i.e. they are lustrous, whereas nonmetals don't
- Metals are malleable i.e. can be beaten into sheets.
Texture is not a property used to classify metals and metalloids.
