Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Valence shell is the shell present on the outermost core of an atom and electrons present in the valence shell are known as valence electrons.
If an atom has completely filled valence shell then it means the atom is not reactive in nature because it is already stable.
But when an atom has less than eight electrons in its valence shell then it means to attain stability the atom will readily attract electrons towards itself.
As the given element 1 has 8 electrons in its valence shell. Hence, it is not reactive in nature but element 2 has 6 valence electrons. So, in order to attain stability element 2 will readily attract 2 electrons from a donor atom.
Thus, we can conclude that element 2 is more reactive because it does not have a full valence shell, so it will attract electrons.
Answer:
The population of the long-legged birds decreases.
Explanation:
The population of the short-legged birds increases whereas the population of long-legged birds decreases due to availability of food in that environment. The long-legged birds feed on fish whose population decreases due to drought conditions so the population of long-legged birds also decreases while on the other hand, the population of short-legged birds increases or remain the same because they feed on the insects and the insects are available in large amount and less affected by the drought conditions.
