Answer: Hypolimnion

Explanation:

The hypolimnion layer is found in the dense region of lake. It is bottom layer of water in a thermally stratified lake.

This region has lowest oxygen concentration,and it lies below the thermocline.

It is the deepest and coldest layer found in lake. It has very less oxygen and maximum amount of sediments is also found there.

There reaches no light so photosynthesis id not possible there. The temperature there is almost 4 °C throughout the year.

Carbon-12 contains 6 protons and 6 neutrons. The radius of the nucleus is approximately 2.7 fm (femtometers) and the radius of t

Slav-nsk [51]

Explanation:

Let us assume that volumes is equal to spheres volume of nucleus.

fm = femto meter = $10^{-15}$

pm = pico meter = $10^{-12}$

Hence, calculate the volume as follows.

V = $\frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times r^{3}$

= $\frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (2.7)^{3}$

= 82.4481 $fm^{3}$ (cubic femtometers)

or, = 82 $fm^{3}$

Now, we will calculate the volume of the atom as follows.

V = $\frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times r^{3}$

= $\frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (70)^{3}$

= 1436758.4 $pm^{3}$ (cubic picometers)

thus, we can conclude that volume of the nucleus is 82 $fm^{3}$ and volume of the atom is 1436758.4 $pm^{3}$ .

Answer:

-> there isnt an exact answer

Explanation:

stars have a cycle of life, like humans and other organisms. when they are dying they may get hotter or bigger. they will become red giants, and may explode.. kinds like the big bang theory. it will leave a small white dwarf star behind, about the size of earth, and it is super hot. the stars contain dark matter which will be spewed into the galaxy planting a path for future stars

I reccomend searching google for an exact answer

What are valence electrons ?

Arada [10]

Answer:In chemistry, a valence electron is an outer shell electron that is associated with an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond if the outer shell is not closed; in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.
