The neon atom has 10 electrons arranged 2,8. I have a full valence shell what must the atom do to become stable? lose 8 electrons

Nothing because it's valence shell is already full with 8

Plants are used for so many things. in your house alone, you can probably look around you and see where plants have been used. for this project, you will identify various uses of plants in your home. directions make a list of objects, products, and any other items around your house where plants were involved in the production of the item. you should have a list of at least twenty items. then respond to the following questions: note: your list of objects and the answers following should be at least 200 words in length. what if plants no longer existed on earth? how would your life be different?

The collared lizard is a species found in the desert southwest. male collared lizards show considerable color variation, ranging from brightly colored to a very dull pattern. your goal is to determine the function, if any, of male color patterns in collared lizards, using the scientific method. your tentative explanation is that male color plays a role in attracting females for mating purposes. you predict that females will preferentially choose brightly colored males over dull-colored ones. to test this prediction, you observed the interactions of female collared lizards with their male counterparts. you selected males that were the same age and size, and that differed only in their coloration pattern. you placed equal numbers of the two types of male lizards, bright and dull, in aquariums, along with one female lizard per aquarium. out of 350 aquariums observed, the female chose to mate with the brightly colored male 277 times, and the dull-colored male 70 times. in 3 instances, the females did not mate with either type. create a bar graph of your data, plotting the type of male (dull or brightly colored) on the x-axis. on the y-axis, plot the frequency with which each type of male was chosen by females. using this graph, answer the following question(s). is it reasonable to conclude (i. e., is it supported by the data) that female collared lizards prefer more brightly colored male lizards over dull-colored males?

Legumes, a type of plant, require rhizobia, a type of soil bacteria, to survive since these organisms fix nitrogen during photosynthesis. rhizobia use the legumes for food. what would most likely happen to the legume population if rhizobia suddenly became extinct?
