Answer : The Lewis-dot structure and resonating structure of SO_4^{2-} is shown below.

Explanation :

Resonance structure : Resonance structure is an alternating method or way of drawing a Lewis-dot structure for a compound.

Resonance structure is defined as any of two or more possible structures of the compound. These structures have the identical geometry but have different arrangements of the paired electrons. Thus, we can say that the resonating structure are just the way of representing the same molecule.

First we have to determine the Lewis-dot structure of SO_4^{2-}.

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, SO_4^{2-}

As we know that sulfur and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in SO_4^{2-} = 6 + 4(6) + 2 = 32

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 12 number of bonding electrons and 20 number of non-bonding electrons.

Hence, the Lewis-dot structure and resonating structure of SO_4^{2-} is shown below.

True [87]

Answer:

Lionfish are native to the Indo-Pacific region. However, a hurricane caused six fish from an aquarium to accidentally be swept out into the Atlantic Ocean. Female lionfish produce thousands of eggs at a time, which has allowed their population to rapidly increase in the Atlantic. There’s no firm estimate of the number of lionfish in the Atlantic Ocean right now. However, it might be as many as 375 to 1,000 lionfish per acre of ocean. These fish have predators such as sharks and scorpion fish in their natural habitat. However, they don’t have many natural predators in the Atlantic Ocean, where the typical predatory animals don’t seem to recognize lionfish as food. Their one predator is humans, who have recently started fishing them for food. In the Atlantic Ocean, algae and seaweed are producers. Small fish, crabs, and other crustaceans make up the first and secondary consumers. Sharks and orcas are some of the larger predators, which are also consumers. Bacteria and fungi are the decomposers that break down food. Lionfish are consumers because they eat fish and small crustaceans.

Compare S (secondary) waves and P (primary) waves. Why do they travel at different speeds?
Amanda [17]

S waves

  • These are shear waves .
  • The motion of the medium is perpendicular to  direction of propagation of the wave .
  • They can propagate only through solids and not through gases or liquids .
  • S waves are larger .
  • They travel with less speed .

P waves

  • These are compression waves .
  • These waves produces a force along the direction of propagation .
  • They can propagate through solids, gases and liquids.
  • P waves are smaller than s waves .
  • They travel with 60% greater speed than S waves .

P-waves travel 60% faster than S-waves on average because the interior part of the Earth does not react the same way as the s wave and P wave.
