Distinguish between abiotic and biotic factors. Give examples of each.

abiotic factors are nonliving aspects of an environment, such as wind, water, and sunlight, while biotic factors are living things, such as animals and plants in the ecosystem.

abiotic- nonliving objects

biotic- living objects

Explanation:

ex for abiotic- rocks, air, water, etc

ex for biotic- dogs, cats, fish, people, plants, etc

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
