If you remove the starfish from a shoreline area what happens to the mussel populations

1 answer:

6 0

Looking at the food chain & relationships between organisms can give you a good idea of theoretical cause and effects.

For example:

Starfish are the natural predators of the mussel. If the starfish, that eat the mussels, were to be taken out of the picture: there would most likely be a higher population of mussels.

Radioactive materials that are high energy and will cause cellular and tissue damage are called:______.

Radioactive materials that are high energy and will cause cellular and tissue damage are usually known as ; Alpha radiation.

<h3>What is Radioactive material and Alpha Radiation ?</h3>

Chemicals in the class of radionuclides (also known as radioactive materials) have unstable atomic nuclei. They stabilize themselves by altering the nucleus (spontaneous fission, emission of alpha particles, or conversion of neutrons to protons or the reverse).
For example, the Earth's crust naturally contains the radioactive elements uranium and thorium. These two elements slowly alter their forms over billions of years, leading to the production of decay byproducts like radon and radium. Energy is released during this process. Alpha radiation is one type of this energy.
Alpha particles, also called alpha rays or alpha radiation, consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical to a helium-4 nucleus. They are generally produced in the process of alpha decay, but may also be produced in other ways.

A bond of the following elements would be of what type? Ca + 2Cl<br><br> Covalent or ionic

dedylja [7]

Answer:

Ionic

Explanation:

Ionic bond:

It is the bond which is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

For example:

calcium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for calcium is 1. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from calcium is transfer to the chlorine. calcium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion.

There are two valance electrons in calcium so it needed to lose two valance electrons to complete the octet while chlorine needed one electron to complete the octet. Thus two electrons lost by one calcium atom are gained by two atoms of chlorine.

Ca + Cl₂ → CaCl₂
