Answer:
Producers, consumers and decomposers
Explanation:
Producers can make their own food by capturing the sun's energy, but consumers and decomposers can't. Consumers need to eat other organisms to obtain energy. Decomposers are like the recyclers of nature. They obtain energy for their own needs while returning simple molecules to the environment.
Answer:
- <u><em>B. Structural</em></u>
Explanation:
The <em>atomic </em>or molecular <em>formula </em>represents each kind of atom by its chemical symbol and the number of each kind of atom by a subscript, but it does not show how they are connected. Thus, many different compounds have the same atomic or molecular formula.
The <em>skeletal formula</em> is a kind of abbreviated molecular formula in which the carbon and hydrogen atoms are not indicated but are understood. The skeletal formula shows the chain, the double and triple bonds, and the atoms different to carbon and hydrogen. Each vertex on the chain represents on carbon atom, and the hydrogen atoms (not shown) are the needed to complete the four valence electrons of each carbon atom.
The<em> structural formula </em>shows each atom, using the chemical symbol, and how they are connected in the compound, i.e. the bonds, using short lines.
For instance, the structural formula for the simplest organic compound, methane, CH₄, is:

Answer:
[Ar] 3d10 4s1
Explanation:
The correct electronic configuration of copper is [Ar] 3d10 4s1
Copper has atomic number 29 and due to the stability of half filled or fully filled orbitals or shells, the electrons from the 4s jumps to the 3d and makes the 3d shell contain 10 electrons.
This is what I mean:
Cu = Ar 4s2 3d10 is the expected configuration of copper when we follow the principle of filling the various orbitals that is the s, p, d, f orbitals.
But because we write 3d before writing 4s, we have Ar 3d10 4s2. Instead of this configuration becoming the correct one, an electron from the 4s orbital jumps to the 3d orbital to complete the orbital giving the electrons in the 3d orbital 10.
So therefore the correct configuration is Ar 3d10 4s1
The reaction releases heat and gives net energy to its surroundings. The energy needed to initiate the reaction is less than the energy released.
The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :
Which of the following Group 17 elements is the least reactive
a) Flourine
b) Chlorine
c) Astatine
d) Iodine
Answer: c) Astatine
Explanation:
Halogen is the name given to Group 17 family with general electronic configuration of 
which have 7 valence electrons and thus easily gain one electron to attain stable configuration.
As we move down the group from flourine to chlorine to bromine to iodine to astatine , the valence shell moves farther from nucleus and thus tendency to accept the electron decreases and thus reactivity also decreases.
Thus Astatine is the least reactive of all.
