Which of the following is least likely to change the gene pool of a population of chipmunks? A pesticide poisons and kills a large number of chipmunks.
A group of chipmunks moves to a new habitat.
A number of chipmunks die due to old age.
A genetic mutation causes some of the chipmunks to have larger eyes.

I would say that old age because nothing is affecting the gene pool by dying of old age.

Explanation:

Hope this helps.

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.
