The alkali metals in group l of the periodic table all have a single electron in the outermost shell. These metals form covalent bonds with for example the halogens, which have 7 electrons in their outer shell.
When the alkali metal halide, such as KCl is dissolved in water, it dissociates into ions. The K atom loses the single electron, and therefore has a positive charge. In turn, the chloride atom gains the electron and becomes the negatively charged chloride ion.

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 2) density-independent limiting factor.

Explanation:

Density-independent limiting factors are the factors that cause a change in the size of the population without getting influenced by the density of the population.

Density-independent limiting factors include biotic or abiotic factors with catastrophic conditions such as natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, drought, fires, and many more.

Drought affects the size of the population by increasing competition in the ecosystem for resources.
