Which of the following statements about natural selection are correct? (i) Tends to increase the characters that enhance survival and reprocution (ii) Inviduals with better adaptive ability leave more progeny (iii) Was considered as mechanism of evolution by Darwin

Oxygen differs from the other elements of the group. Compounds of oxygen with metals are more ionic in nature and hydrogen bonding is more important for oxygen compounds. Oxygen is never more than divalent beacasue when it hs formed two covalent bonds, there are no low energy orbitals which can be used for form. further bonds. However, the elements S,Se,Te and Po have empty d- orbitals which may be used for bonding, and they can form four or six bonds by unpairing electrons. The higher oxidation states become less stable on decending the group. The bond between S and O, or Se and O, are much shorter than might be expected for a single bond owing to rho pi - dpi interaction between the p- orbital of oxygen and d- orbital of S or Se. Which one of the following orders represents the correct order for the properties indicated against them?
