The correct answer is option C.

Eggs with tough protective shells developed to prevent the embryo from drying out.

The hard shell of the egg is made of calcium carbonate and it protects the embryo from predators and from drying out. The egg shell is porous which allows air and moisture to pass through its pores.

Answer:  The correct answer is -C) Prevent the embryo from drying out.

The amniotic egg of birds and  reptiles is surrounded by an outer, tough, and protective shell, which protects the egg from any damage, predators, pathogens, and drying out.

The tough shell and extra embryonic membranes create a safe environment where an embryo can develop into a whole organism (with different organs like eyes ,ears, brain, kidney, heart).

Thus, option C) is the right answer.

Binary ionic and binary molecular compounds have what two things that are similar in their composition
Sonbull [250]
Best Answer: Ionic binary compounds -- contain a metal cation and an anion made of a nonmetal or a polyatomic anion. Consider calcium phosphate:
Ca = 2+ (Group IIA)
PO4 = 3- (phosphate)
The lowest common multiple of 2+ and 3- is 6. You must have 3 Ca2+ to make +6; you must have 2 PO43- to make -6. The sum of the positive and negative charges must be equal in a compound because they are electrically neutral.
Ca3(PO4)2 -- calcium phosphate

Binary molecular compounds -- contain two or more nonmetals bonded covalently. There are no ions present because the atoms share electrons. Prefixes are used to indicate the number of atoms of each kind present. Examples are:
SO2 -- sulfur dioxide
N2O4 -- dinitrogen tetraoxide
PCl3 -- phosphorous trichloride
CO -- carbon monoxide

The general formula for an acid is HX, where X is an anion. Binary acids contain H and a nonmetal and are named with the prefix "hydro" and the suffix "ic". Examples are:
HCl -- hydrochloric acid
H2S -- hydrosulfuric acid
HF -- hydrofluoric acid
Ternary acids contain H and a polyatomic anion. Examples are:
H2SO4 -- sulfuric acid
HNO3 -- nitric acid
HNO2 -- nitrous acid
HClO3 -- chloric acid
HClO2 -- chlorous acid
HClO -- hypochlorous acid
The names of the anions are changed as follows:
-ate anions form -ic acids
-ite anions form -ous acids
per...ate anions form per...ic acids
hypo...ite anions form hypo...ous acids.

Which of the following statements provides the BEST explanation for the many chemical similarities between two elements in a Mai
rjkz [21]

Answer:

(b) Both have the same number of valence electrons.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We find the most striking chemical similarities between two Main Group elements when they are in the same Group of the Periodic Table.

Elements in the same Group have the same number of valence electrons.

(a) is <em>wrong</em>, because elements in the same group have <em>different masses</em>.

(c) is <em>wrong,</em> because atoms with the same number of protons belong to the s<em>ame element</em>.

(d) is wrong, because elements in the same Group must be in . <em>different Periods.</em>
