Answer:
Temperature of the water
Explanation:
In every study, there must be independent and dependent variables. An independent variable is the variable that is changed in order to obtain a response. In this case, the temperature of the water is being changed, the response in this experiment is the respiration rate of the goldfish.
Thus the respiration rate of the goldfish is the dependent variable because it is controlled by the temperature of the water and changes accordingly.
Summarily, the independent variable is the temperature of the water while the dependent variable is the respiration rate of the goldfish.
Answer:
The atom will have a negative charge.
Explanation:
Electrons are subatomic particles with a negative charge, protons are subatomic particles with a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. When a neutral atom's balance is disrupted by an extra electron, the atom becomes negatively charged.
Answer:
Metal
Element: Calcium
Valency: 2
Explanation:
To find the element, let's use the periodic table. (Look below)
We already went past 3 shells, just need the 2 electrons after it.
Just skip to the 4th row and count 2 to the right
We end up at Calcium.
Calcium is a metal and we're also on the alkaline earth metals column.
Calcium will need to lose 2 electrons to reach stability, so the valency is 2.
The atomic number of Be is 4, and so it has 2 shells. There are valence electrons in the second, which is the outermost, shell of Be. To get the element with one more shell, there would be 3 shells on the new element, and 1 less valence electron, so the new element should have 1 valence electron. Sodium is the element with 3 shells, and one valence electron which fits perfectly into the description.
