Answer : The correct option is (C) each picture represents an isotope of lithium because they each have 3 protons.

Explanation :

Isotope : It is defined as the element that have the same number of protons but have the different number of neutrons of each of the atom.

As in the given picture, the number of protons are same but number of neutrons are different.

As we know that atomic number is either equal to number of protons or electrons for neutral atom.

The number of protons in the given picture are 3.

So, the element will be lithium with atomic number 3 and all are the isotopes of lithium.

Hence, the correct option is (C) each picture represents an isotope of lithium because they each have 3 protons.

How might an increasing population of robins positively and negatively affect a community?

Oliga [24]

All populations of living things are interrelated. When one population of animals, plants, or insects increase or decrease, other populations of living things are also affected. For example, when shrubs and brushy areas are removed from an ecosystem, the rabbit population will likely go down. The reduced rabbit population will lower predator populations that use rabbits as a food source.

In another example, let's assume all the dead hollow trees are removed from a forest ecosystem. Cavity nesting animals such as bluebirds, nuthatch, wrens, screech owls, squirrels and woodpeckers have very little, if any, shelter available. The number of animals of this type would be reduced. Insect populations could increase because of fewer insect eating birds and trees and other plants could be negatively affected. The whole ecosystem is affected.

The amount of suitable habitat for a species of wildlife will determine the number of animals that can survive in the area. Human activity has the greatest impact on the amount and quality of wildlife habitat in Illinois. Wildlife habitat can be destroyed or its quality diminished as a result of urban sprawl, agricultural practices, pollution, sedimentation, or habitat fragmentation.

People can also have a positive impact on wildlife populations through improvement and protection of habitat or ecosystems. The planting of trees and shrubs, as well as wildlife food plots, in the appropriate locations is one way landowners can improve wildlife habitat. People can protect ponds, streams, rivers and wetlands from sedimentation by reducing soil erosion on lands surrounding these aquatic ecosystems. Nesting boxes placed in ecosystems that lack dead, hollow trees will enhance the habitat for cavity nesting animals. There are many things people can do to improve habitat for wildlife.

There are a number of natural resource management agencies in Illinois that can help people enhance and protect wildlife habitat. Listed below are a few of the public agencies which can provide ecosystem management expertise to people in Illinois.

Which element in period 3 has three times the electronegativity value compared to that of li in period 2

victus00 [196]

Answer:

Nitrogen

Explanation:

Elements in period two includes lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and neon.

According to periodic trends, the electro negativity values are expected to increase across the period up to fluorine. Hence, as we go right wards, we encounter elements with higher electronegative values.

While lithium has an electronegative value of 1 , the electronegative value of element nitrogen is thrrr times this which is equal to three

jek_recluse [69]

Answer: D. Mutation in coding sequences are more likely to be deleterious to the organism than mutations in noncoding sequences.

Explanation: It was not likely to be that the coding sequences are replicated more often. The only possible explanation is that the mutations in coding is more likely to be deleterious to the organism than mutations because it is in a non coding sequence.

What is the empirical formula of a compound containing 5.03 grams carbon, 0.42 grams hydrogen, and 44.5 grams chlorine?

djverab [1.8K]

The empirical formula of the compound is CHCl₃.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

Given,

Mass of carbon = 5.03 g

Mass of hydrogen = 0.42 g

Mass of chlorine = 44.5 g

Molecular weight of carbon = 12 g

Molecular weight of hydrogen = 1 g

Molecular weight of chlorine = 35.4 g

First, calculate the moles of each element,

Moles = given mass/ molecular weight

Moles of carbon = 5.03/12 = 0.42

Moles of hydrogen = 0.42/1 = 0.42

Moles of chlorine = 44.5/ 35.4 = 1.26

Divide the moles of each element by the smallest number of moles,

0.42 mol of C/ 0.42 = 1 C

0.42 mol of H/ 0.42 = 1 H

1.26 mol of Cl/0.42 = 3 Cl

The ratio of elements is 1:1:3

Therefore the empirical formula of the compound will be CHCl₃.
