Answer:

Fluorine has seven electrons in 2p-subshell whereas chlorine has seven electrons in its 3p-subshell. 3p-subshell is relatively larger than 2p-subshell. Therefore, repulsion among the electrons will be more in the 2p-shell of fluorine than 3p-subshell in chlorine. Due to the smaller size and thus, the greater electron-electron repulsions, fluorine will not accept an incoming electron with the same as chlorine.

What do we call genes

Hi there so i need one more brainliest mark so if i get it right can i get brainliest please :)

A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA. Some genes act as instructions to make molecules called proteins. However, many genes do not code for proteins. In humans, genes vary in size from a few hundred DNA bases to more than 2 million bases

An ionic bond can be formed when one or more electrons are 1) equally shared by two atoms 2) unequally shared by two atoms 3) tr

Answer:

4) transferred from the valence shell of one atom to the valence shell of another atom

Explanation:

Electrons are located outside of the nucleus which contains the protons and the neutrons.

For bonds to form, valence electrons located in the outermost shell electrons are involved. These are the valence electrons. These outer shell electrons can be shared or transferred between two combining atoms to form stable atoms.

In ionic bonds, the electrons are transferred from one specie to another. The atom that loses the electrons becomes positively charged and the receiving atom becomes negatively charged. This is the crux of ionic bonds.

According to the calculation, set I is both the most accurate and most precise.

Exactness is a quality or state of being precise. 2a: comparison accuracy sense: the degree of precision with which an action is carried out or a measurement expressed 2b. The novel was fact-checked for historical authenticity. 2a: conformance to truth, to a standard, or to a model: exactness It is impossible to estimate the number of casualties with accuracy.
