Carol has an unknown element in group 7. Using the periodic table, how many valence electrons does her element have? A.) Five
B.) Seven
C.) Nine
D.) Seventeen

seven

Explanation: the valence electrons are the numi of electrons found in the outermost shell of an element. The group of an element indicates it's number of electrons in the outermost shell while the number of shells occupied by electrons indicates the period.

Thus since the element is in group seven it has seven valence electrons.

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
