Answer:
1. Fluorine (7 electrons) => c. steals 1 electron
2. Calcium (2 electrons) => a. gives away 2 electrons
3. Oxygen (6 electrons) => d. steals 2 electrons
4. Lithium (1 electron) => e. gives away 1 electron
5. Xenon (8 electrons) => b. neither gives away nor steals any electron
Explanation:
Given the following valence electrons of the atoms listed above, each atom can be matched to its corresponding number of electrons it can steal or give away as they form bonds and attain a stable state:
1. Fluorine (7 electrons) => this will steal 1 electron from another atom to attain a stable state when it comes to make the number of electrons 8.
2. Calcium with 2 valence electrons, will give away this 2 electrons in its outer shell to be stable and form bond with another atom that will accept these 2 electrons.
3. Oxygen with 2 valence electrons, will steal 2 electrons to make the electrons in its outer shell 8, as it bonds with another atom to become stable.
4. Lithium will give away 1 electron to become stable when it combines.
5. Xenon with 8 electrons in its outer shell is in a stable state and kind of inert. It doesn't need to receive or steal any electron from or to any other atom in this state.
Answer:
An adaptation can be viewed as a trait that emerged and developed for a certain condition so as to increases the organism changes of survival or fitness.
For a trait to be called adaptive, it must have had a positive influence but not majorly a trait that develops in reaction to a certain selection pressure.
Categorically, a trait is seen as adaptation if it is the aftermath of selection, and adaptive if it is of favourable influence at the existing time.
Depends if they have some of the same genetic structures
The answer is <span>b. Swamps are deeper and have a larger proportion of surface water than marshes, and bogs have acidic groundwater.
Bogs, marshes, and swamps are types of wetlands. Swamps and marshes are mineral soil wetlands. Swamps are deeper and with a larger proportion of surface water than marshes. Usually, swamps develop from marshes that fill in. Bogs are organic soil wetlands. They are acid areas with acidic groundwater.</span>
Answer: A: Pine, Cedar and Mango.
B: Pine and Cedar
C: Mango, Cedar and Elm
D: Pine and Cedar
Explanation: Evergreens plants always have there leaves on regardless of the season, because their roots go very deep into the soil getting water and nutrients far below the levels other tap roots can go, they are mainly found in the rain forest region that have abundance of water. Example, Mango
Deciduous trees are usually found at desert places that dont always have water, so they lose their leaves during etreme weather to reduce the rate of evaporation of water on its surface. Example, Maple.
Hardwood: These are flowering plants. they usually have broad leaves and nuts. example, Mahogany.
Conifers: These are cone bearing seed plants. they are perennial and woody plants. Example Pine.
