Chlorine

Explanation:

Chlorine is an element that has more valence electrons than oxygen but fewer valence electrons than neon, more protons than sodium but fewer protons than argon.

   Element     atomic number number of protons <u>number of  valence electrons</u>

   Oxygen             8                            8                                     6

    Neon                10                            10                                  8      

 Since the number of valence electrons of the element is between that of oxygen and neon, the compound must have a valence electron of 7.

  Only all the elements in group 7 on the periodic table fits this description.

  Element                   number of protons

  Sodium                            11

   Argon                              18

    The element must be between sodium and Argon. This suggest that the element is chlorine.

What is the defining characteristic of a water cycle?
4vir4ik [10]

D. It has the same starting and ending point.

Explanation:

The defining characteristic of a water cycle is that it has the same starting and ending point. The water cycle is also known as the hydrologic cycle. It shows the cyclic path through which water moves in nature.

  • The water cycle is a part of the biogeochemical cycle.
  • The biogeochemical cycle shows how certain elements and compounds moves between living organisms and the earth.
  • All living organisms are essentially dependent of water and it is exchanged with the environment around.
  • Some key components of the water cycle are precipitation, ocean, living organisms, ground water, infiltration, surface run off, evaporation etc.

A closed metal container that is filled with hot water gets distorted or compressed when it is kept under the tap water. Why?
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The closed metal container will get distorted or compressed due to a combination of two reasons:

1.<em> contraction of the metal container as a result of a reduction in its temperature.</em>

2. <em>a reduction in the pressure inside the container caused by a sudden drop in the temperature of the water inside it. </em>

The tap water causes a reduction in the temperature of both the container and the water inside it. An increase in temperature causes metal to expand and a reduction in temperature causes it to contract. Also, water takes less space than steam. Therefore, a reduction in the temperature of the hot water causes a reduction in the pressure inside the container relative to the outside. This causes the metal container to be compressed.

Which condition would result in the least evolution as a result of gene flow? a. Very different allele frequencies in different
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

c. Unusually high migration variance Individuals that are very successful at migrating to new populations, but cannot mate in the new locations.

Explanation:

Gene flow refers to the movement of alleles between the local populations when individuals form a population migrate into the other population. Gene flow can occur only if the migrated individuals mate successfully with the individuals of the other population. This would add new alleles from immigrant individuals to the gene pool of the population leading to evolution.

If the immigration is not followed by the mating of the immigrants with individuals of the local population, there would not be any addition of new alleles to the gene pool and the population would not exhibit evolution by gene flow.
