Answer:

Polarizing power refers to an atoms ability to pull an electron toward it, polarizing the atom the electron comes from. Since cations are positive, they are able to attract electrons toward themselves. Anions are negative and so do not attract more electrons.

Therefore, Be2+ has a higher polarizing power because it has a higher quantitiy of protons, hence a higher polarizing power.

B. parasitism

C. commensalism

D. competition

The answer is D

Organisms in their natural environment interact with one another in so many ways. The ways by which this interaction occurs are; competition, predation, commensalism etc.

Competition is the interaction between two organisms in which one or both organisms are harmed due to limited resources. Competition occurs when the organisms involved occupy the same niche or utilize the same limited resources.

In this question involving corn plants and milkweed plants. They are said to grow in the same area. Over several years, the milkweed plants have taken over the field and the corn plants no longer have space to grow. In this case, there is a limited space for growth, hence, the corn plant and milkweed COMPETE.

What is the formula for lead(ii) phosphate?

Solnce55 [7]

Explanation:

Lead(II) phosphate is an ionic compound with chemical formula Pb3(PO4)2. Lead(II) phosphate is a long-lived electronically neutral reagent chemical.[1] Despite limited tests on humans, it has been identified as a carcinogen based on tests on animals conducted by the EPA.[2] Lead(II) phosphate appears as hexagonal, colorless crystals or as a white powder. Lead(II) phosphate is insoluble in water and alcohol but soluble in Nitric acid (HNO3) and has fixed alkali hydroxides. When lead(II) phosphate is heated for decomposition it emits very toxic fumes containing Lead (Pb) and POx.[3]
