How long can hermit crabs go without food and water?

1 answer:

3 0

Hermit crabs live in large colonies so there is no real answer. You can put up to 10 hermits in a 10 gallon aquarium or 4 to 6 in the smallest plastic cage safely. They do eat but very little and can go several days up to two weeks without food. They store water in the back of their shell for moisture for their gills.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer: The correct option is (D) lithium (Li).

Explanation: Hydrogen is the element which belong to period 1. The atomic number of hydrogen is, 1

The electronic configuration of hydrogen is,

The number of valence electrons present in hydrogen is, 1.

(A) Helium is the element which belong to period 1. The atomic number of helium is, 2

The electronic configuration of helium is,

The number of valence electrons present in helium is, 2.

(B) Oxygen is the element which belong to period 2. The atomic number of oxygen is, 8

The electronic configuration of oxygen is,

The number of valence electrons present in oxygen is, 6.

(C) Nitrogen is the element which belong to period 2. The atomic number of nitrogen is, 7

The electronic configuration of nitrogen is,

The number of valence electrons present in nitrogen is, 5.

(D) Lithium is the element which belong to period 2. The atomic number of lithium is, 3

The electronic configuration of lithium is,

The number of valence electrons present in lithium is, 1.

From this we conclude that the lithium element has the same number of valence electrons as hydrogen.

Hence, the correct option is (D) lithium (Li).

Weathering is process in which the rock breaks down into due to physical and chemical processes. It leads to wearing and tearing in the rocks. Weathering can be of three types physical weathering, chemical weathering and biological weathering.
Thermal stress weathering or insolation weathering occurs in places where there is a large change in daily temperatures. It causes the peeling off of the outer layer of the rocks.
