In general, the skeleton is usually what becomes preserved in fossil. This is because over time, soft tissues and organs will degrade and decompose before the necessary time passes for fossilization. Bones are much more rigid and are able to overcome the process of fossilization. Based on this information, we can eliminate the skeleton and probably the feathers. We can eliminate feathers because we know and have evidence that feathers are capable of being fossilized. I would also say that we could eliminate the beak for this question. That's because birds' beaks are made of a protein called beta keratin, which is quite hard and durable. This leaves you with the decision of either the skin or internal organs. Which one do you think would degrade first? Think about the predators that may come by and eat parts of the bird after it dies.

If I have one mole of sulfur, how many atoms would that be?
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Atoms of sulfur = 9.60⋅g32.06⋅g⋅mol−1×6.022×1023⋅mol−1

Explanation:

because the units all cancel out, the answer is clearly a number, ≅2×1023 as required.

explain how a metal with one valence electron compares with a metal with more than one valence electron
slamgirl [31]

Explanation:

A metal with one valence electron is highly reactive compared to those with more than one electron.

Atoms including those of metals reacts in order attain a stable electronic configuration just like those of noble gases.

An atom with one valence electron have just one electron in its valence shell.

  • Metals generally have large sizes.
  • when the electron in this shell is lost, the metal atom can then attain stability.
  • therefore, such atom will quickly want to combine with any other willing to accept the electron so that they can be stable.
  • Those with more than one electron will find it difficult to lose them.
  • It requires huge energy to remove such electrons compared to the ones with only one valence electron.
