Explain the role of valence electrons and how they relate to the periodic table of elements?
myrzilka [38]

The valence electrons determine the group the elements belong in the periodic table. For example, the element sodium, Na, has a valence electron of one and so it belongs to Group 1 in the periodic table. Another example is Aluminium, Al, which has a valence electron of three and therefore it belongs to Group 3 in the periodic table.

Example of commensalism in finding nemo
mestny [16]
A type of commensalism is the sea anemone and the clown fish. The definition of commensalism is where another species lives within another. (Usually this relationship is with animals, fungi, and plants.) No harm comes to either species. 

A clown fish lives in a sea anemone, and this doesn't hurt the anemone nor is the clownfish affected by its sting because of their oils that protect them.

If you didn't know, Nemo and his father, Marlin, lives in a sea anemone. A natural habitat of a clown fish.
