Answer:

The elements that are sources of water pollution are the following:

1. industrial waste

2. Increase in temperature

3. the use of pesticides in agriculture

4. deforestation

5.possible oil spills

Explanation:

1. Some companies are unaware of the good use that should be given to water and spill polluting products derived from their industrial processes.

2. Global warming also influences water pollution. If the temperature is increased, water sources decrease the amount of oxygen.

3. The use of fertilizers and chemicals for food production. These products are filtered by underground channels that end up in water networks.

4. Tree felling helps rivers dry out, and exposed roots cause sediments to occur under the ground and contamination of water sources.

5. The spills of crude oil and its derivatives. These spills are due to the poor transport of oil and the filtration of gasoline, which is stored in underground tanks; In some cases, these tanks are leaking and the contents are filtered to nearby bodies of water

Atoms with a low ionization energy give up their outer valence electrons with ease true or false
umka2103 [35]

Answer: The given statement is true.

Explanation: Ionization energy is defined as the amount of energy required to remove an electron from the outermost shell of an isolated gaseous atom.

General equation of ionization energy is given by:

X(g)\rightarrow X^+(g)+e^-

  • If the outermost electron is loosely bound to the nucleus which means that the electron can be easily removed form an atom, it will require less amount of ionization energy.
  • And if the outermost electron is tightly bound to the nucleus which means that the electron cannot be removed easily from an atom. And hence, it will require more ionization energy.

Hence, the given statement is true.
