What is the difference between a tortoise, a terrapin, and a sea turtle?

Biology
1 answer:
Alchen [17]4 years ago
6 0
The difference is mainly in the habitat they are adapted for. Sea turtles are usually completely aquatic(except to lay eggs) and they are omnivores. Tortoises are usually land-dwelling and are mostly herbivores. Terrapins are semi-aquatic. They live in swamps and near brackish waters. Half their time is on land and half of the time they are in water.

1 )Which of the following is a possible formula unit? PbO Li2B Al2Pb3 ClO
Nataly_w [17]
1. PbO is a possible formula units, since O has charge of 2- and Pb can have a charge of 2+ or 4+, if it uses the 2+ ion, the charges will balance out to form PbO. Li+ and B(3-) would have Li3B, Al(3+) and Pb(2+) are both positive charges and would not balance out, Cl- and O(2-) are both negative charges and would not balance out.

2. Iodine is a halogen, so it has a charge of -1. Calcium is an alkaline earth metal in Group 2, so it has a charge of 2+. Therefore, if they were to form a formula unit, the resultant would be CaI2 (2 iodine atoms of 1- charge are needed to balance out the 2+ charge on the calcium atom).

3. Strontium is an alkaline earth metal with a charge of 2+, while phosphorus has a charge of 3-. Therefore, to balance the charges out, we would need 3 atoms of strontium and 2 atoms of phosphorus. This would give the formula unit of Sr3P2.

Whay happens for elements larger than iron to be created?
guapka [62]
<h2>What happens for elements larger than iron to be created? </h2>

  • Neutron-capture inside stars is the primary source of elements heavier than iron, while there are other minor contributors (cosmic ray spallation, radioactive decay). They are not just produced by supernovae, but also by other stars.
