Answer:

[Cl-18]⁻ & [Cl-20]⁻

Explanation:

By definition isotopes are elements with the same number of protons by different number of neutrons. Elements X-18 & X-20 have 17 protons and represent Chlorine isotopes Cl-18 & Cl-20 each with 17 protons and 18 electrons to give the isotopes a -1 oxidation state. Both isotope of chlorine have 7 electron in its valence shell and 10 electrons in its core structure.  Gaining 1 electron fills the valence octet and establishes a -1 oxidation state.

natural selection is an example of a mechanism of evolution does this mechanism produce a change in individuals or populations e
skad [1K]

Answer: Yes, Natural selection is natures way of making the fittest and top dogs of the food chain, It can produce a change in individuals and populations by completely reducing or wiping out a population not fit for survival in its inviroment and can even force a change of the creature to make it able to survive.

Example: would be rabbits, a snow rabbit wouldn't survive very well in the desert and a jack rabbit wouldn't be able to survive in the cold winter due to temp and the fact that predators like wolves would be able to spot it easier from its color of its fur.

Note: Hope this helps, and I hope this is want it was asking. Good luck :)

Which statement best explains the difference between polar and nonpolar covalent bonds?(1 point)
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Answer is 4

Explanation:

Polar covalent bonding is a type of chemical bond where a pair of electrons is unequally shared between two atoms. ... If the electronegativity of two atoms is basically the same, a nonpolar covalent bond will form, and if the electronegativity is slightly different, a polar covalent bond will form.
