An atom that had satisfied the octet rule will have which of the following valence electron configurations?

1 answer:

3 0

The s orbital can hold up to two electrons while the p orbital can hold up to six electrons.
An atoms satisfying the octet rule means that this atom has eight electrons in its outermost energy level (which is the maximum number of electrons that can be found in a single level and makes the atom stable).
For this to happen, two electrons must occupy the s orbital and 6 electrons must occupy the p orbital. This makes a total of eight electrons.

Therefore, the right choice is:
<span>d) both full s orbital and full p orbital</span>

Explanation:

In the given example sea star played the role of keystone species

Robert Paine actually coined the term keystone species to describe the effect that the sea stars had on biodiversity in this community
Keystone species are those species which are least abundant but play a governing role to decide the structure and function of community
Loss of keystone species in a community can lead to disturbance in structure and function of a community and it cannot be recovered by other species
