Answer/Explanation
Characteristics of Life Present in Viruses:
- has a defined boundary - viruses are made up simply of genetic material surrounded by a<u> protein capsid </u>and sometimes a lipid membrane
Characteristics of Life Absent in Viruses:
- made up of one or more cells - one of the main arguments for why viruses are not living is that they are <u>not cellular</u>
- uses energy - this is a tricky one. They don't use or produce their own energy. However, in order to reproduce they do hijack the host cells and <u>steal energy</u> from them in order to reproduce
- exhibits growth and development - although viruses do <u>reproduce</u>, the individual viral particles do not exhibit growth or development
- possess internal organisation - other than the fact they ahve genetic material, the inside of a virus does not contain internal organization like a cytosol, instead conssiting of the bare minimum amount of proteins to survive
- eliminates waste - since they do not have their own metabolism, they have no waste to eliminate

Answer:
1
Explanation:
For non metals to attain a noble gas configuration, they gain the number of electrons needed to attain the noble gas configuration of the noble gas at the end of their periods. This means that these non metals would only take up the configuration of the last element on their periods which of course is always a noble gas.
The last element on the hydrogen period or more conservatively the only other element on the hydrogen period is helium, with an atomic number of 2. The atomic number is the number of protons in he nucleus of an atom. For an electrically neutral atom, the number of electrons equal the number of protons.
Hence we can deduce that helium has 2 electrons while hydrogen has one electron. Thus for it to attain the configuration of helium, it just needs to gain one more electron
