Darwin observed the beaks of the birds and how the different beaks helped the birds to eat different types of seeds.
This relates to natural selection because certain finches with say a smaller shorter beak would be able to eat only smaller seeds and fruits as to where a finch with a longer larger beak could eat larger bigger seeds and fruits.
Hope this helped! Have a great day!

<h3>1. 10 e⁻</h3>
Oxidation numbers
I₂O₅(s): I (5+); O(2-)
CO(g): C(2+); O(2-)
I₂(s): I(0)

<h3>2. 4 e⁻</h3>
Oxidation numbers
Hg²⁺(aq): Hg(2+)
N₂H₄(aq): N(2-); H(1+)
Hg(l): Hg(0)
N₂(g): N(0)
H⁺(aq): H(1+)
<h3>3. 6 e⁻</h3>
Oxidation numbers
H₂S(aq): H(1+); S(2-)
H⁺(aq): H(1+)
NO₃⁻(aq): N(5+); O(2-)
S(s): S(0)
NO(g): N(2+); O(2-)
H₂O(l): H(1+); O(2-)
Explanation:
In order to state the total number of electrons transferred we have to identify both half-reactions for each redox reaction.
1. I₂O₅(s) + 5 CO(g) → I₂(s) + 5 CO₂(g)
Oxidation: 10 e⁻ + 10 H⁺(aq) + I₂O₅(s) → I₂(s) + 5 H₂O(l)
Reduction: 5 H₂O(l) + 5 CO(g) → 5 CO₂(g) + 10 H⁺(aq) + 10 e⁻
2. 2 Hg²⁺(aq) + N₂H₄(aq) → 2 Hg(l) + N₂(g) + 4 H⁺(aq)
Oxidation: N₂H₄(aq) → N₂(g) + 4 H⁺(aq) + 4 e⁻
Reduction: 2 Hg²⁺(aq) + 4 e⁻ → 2 Hg(l)
3. 3 H₂S(aq) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq) → 3 S(s) + 2 NO(g) + 4H₂O(l)
Oxidation: 3 H₂S(aq) → 3 S(s) + 6 H⁺(aq) + 6 e⁻
Reduction: 8 H⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq) + 6 e⁻ → 2 NO(g) + 4 H₂O

Answer:
The tend to share the same number of outer electrons. Halogens, for example all have 7 outer electrons, and therefore there oxidation number is -1.
