PLZ HELP 20 POINTS In the atom shown by the image answer the following two questions: How many electrons are in the outer ring? How many electrons would it react with to form a stable molecule?

There are 8 electrons in the outer ring, and has to react with 8 or fewer electrons to form a stable molecule.

Explanation:

The outer-most orbits of  silicon contains a maximum of eight (8) electrons. It requires 8 of fewer electrons to form a stable molecule.

ans.

dna fingerprinting is defined as a process that determines the dna characteristics of an individual. these dna characteristics are unique among individuals as their fingerprints, so it is known as dna fingerprinting.

steps of dna fingerprinting includes extraction of dna from sample, amplification of dna, restriction digestion of amplified dna, and then analysis of dna by gel electrophoresis, respectively.

thus, the next step performed by the scientist is 'to cut the amplified dna (obtained by polymerase chain reaction) by restriction enzymes that cleave the dna into fragments and their analysis.'
