Answer: The correct option is b. Calcium

Explanation: Ocean water consists of a large amount of Chloride (Cl^-), Sulfate (SO_4^{2-}), Magnesium (Mg^{2+}), Sodium (Na^+), Calcium (Ca^{2+}) and Potassium (K^+) ions.

The coral animals absorb calcium element from the ocean to form their skeleton. Then, the calcium ions combine with carbon and oxygen to form calcite.

Hence, the correct option is b.

1. Does the bowling ball have more potential energy or kinetic energy as it sit on top of the building? Why?
Luden [163]

The bowling ball have more gravitational potential energy as it sit on top of the building

<u>Explanation:</u>

The energy that is possessed by an object due to the position of that object in the field of gravity is called Gravitational potential energy . The object that is present in the place that is very closer to the Earth's surface has a constant gravitational potential energy. When an object is at certain height there is a necessity of force for lifting that object form that height.

This is applies to the  gravitational potential energy also.When two objects are placed at different heights, the object that is placed at the greater height will have more potential energy. This is because, the force necessary to take the object from greater height will be more.

Identify the missing information for each atom or ion. Note that the atoms and ions are not necessarily neutral.
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Number of neutrons: 44

Number of protons: 34

Number of electrons: 36

Explanation:

The atomic number of Se (Selenium) is 34

Mass number is 78

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 78 - 34 = 44

Number of protons is the same as the atomic number

Number of protons = 34

Selenium ion has a charge of -2. This means it accepts two more electrons

Number of electrons = atomic number + 2 = 34 + 2 = 36
