An atom that contains four electrons in its valence shell is capable of forming multiple types of bonds: single bonds, as an atom fitting this description can create four single bonds or a mix of single, double, and triple bonds. Take for instance alkanes, where this atom could form one double bond along with two single bonds, or conversely, two double bonds, which is seen in alkenes. For triple bonds, this atom could make one triple bond and a single bond, as seen in alkynes.

Answer: 25,200.
Explanation:
1) Starting with: 4.659 × 10⁴ - 2.14 × 10⁴
2) Significant figures need to be considered.
Because the powers are equal (10⁴), the decimal values can be subtracted directly. However, it is essential to first check significant figures and the count of decimal places.
3) The figure 4.659 × 10⁴ has four significant digits (4, 6, 5, and 9), whereas 2.14 × 10⁴ contains three significant digits (2, 1, and 4).
4) When adding or subtracting values with a different number of decimal places, the answer must reflect the same number of decimal places as the number with the least amount of decimal precision.
5) Prior to performing subtraction, it is necessary to round the numbers to the least decimal places. Given that 2.14 has two decimal places and 4.659 has three, round 4.659 to 4.66.
6) Now perform the subtraction 4.66 - 2.14 = 2.52
7) Then multiply by the power of 10: 2.52 × 10⁴ = 25,200. This is the final answer.
The temperature difference after 3 hours is 5.16 K. Given that the moles of O₂ inhaled rate at 0.02 mole/min, which converts to 1.2 mole/hour, we know the average heat released during metabolism is 7.2 kJ/h·kg. Therefore, the amount of heat generated within 3 hours will be 7.2 kJ/h·kg multiplied by 3 hours, giving a result of 21.6 kJ/kg, or 21.6 x 10³ J/kg. Applying the formula Qp = Cp x ΔT, and taking the body's heat capacity to be 4.18 J/g·K, we find ΔT = 5.16 K.
