There are high risk of following abnormalities or mis- happening if chorionic villus sampling (CVS)  are performed before 10th week of pregnancy:

a) Fetal defects

b) Miscarraige

c)  Fetal anomalies.

d) Risk of infection

As per the standard recommended by American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the standard time to perform this test is between 10th & 12th week as at that time the chances of risk to fetus is very negligible. In no case CVs shall be conducted before 9th week of gestation.  

It is estimated that there is a risk of 0.5 to 1 % of miscarriage after CVs which usually happens within the 3rd day of test.

Determine the ionic characteristics of this element, oxygen. Electrons that it can donate and Receive and there valence.
marissa [1.9K]
Oxygen is an element in the sixth group of the periodic table. This means it contains 6 electrons in its valence shell. Therefore, to complete its octet, it will prefer to gain two electrons rather than to donate 6. This is why its valency is -2. The relatively easy to achieve octet makes Oxygen a reactive element.
