A female brine shrimp can lay up to 150 eggs each time, whereas some other animals, such as penguins only lay 1 or 2 eggs. Based on the hatching success rate obtained(brine shrimp: 77% hatching success rate in full 24hr sunlight), why do you think brine shrimps lay more eggs than penguins?

What best explains whether bromine (br) or neon (ne) is more likely to form a covalent bond? bromine forms covalent bonds because it has seven valence electrons, but neon has eight valence electrons and already fulfills the octet rule. bromine forms covalent bonds because it has many electron shells, but neon has only two electron shells and is tightly bound to its electrons. neon forms covalent bonds because it can share its valence electrons, but bromine has seven valence electrons and can gain only one more electron. neon forms covalent bonds because it has only two electron shells, but bromine has many electron shells and will lose electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule.
