Answer:

b. grasshopper effect

Explanation:

Persistent Organic Pollutants or POPs are organic chemicals that cause a lot of damage to environment and living beings. They are generally industrial chemicals or pesticides for example, DDT. They are toxic and not degraded easily. They tend to get accumulated in living tissues and increase in concentration as we move upwards in a food chain.

When POPs are transported to areas far from their original site, the phenomena is called as grasshopper effect. They are carried by wind in atmosphere and finally settle down on land from where they evaporate again to enter the atmosphere. Thus, the cycle continues. Eventually, they can reach to an area thousands of kilometers away from their original source.

1.what did magnesium and oxygen atoms had to do to bond ?
devlian [24]

Answer:

1. Magnesium and oxygen atoms bond to form an ionic compound; this is evident because one forms a cation and the other an anion. When an ionic compound is formed, one atom "steals" an electron (or electrons) from another. In this case, an oxygen atom (which is pretty electronegative by the way) "steals" 2 electrons from a magnesium atom. The resulting oxygen anion and magnesium cation attract one another to form a bond (more specifically, an ionic one).

2. The oxygen atom needed two sodium atoms to bond because it needs two additional electrons to achieve a stable octet of electrons. 1 sodium atom provides 1 additional electron after it is "stolen" by oxygen, so 2 sodium atoms are needed in total to form the bond.

3. The magnesium atom needed two fluorine atoms to bond because it needs to lose two electrons to achieve a stable configuration/octet of electrons. 1 fluorine atom "steals" one electron, so 2 are needed in total.

Happy Holidays!

Distinguish between voluntary and involuntary actions.
sukhopar [10]
<h2>GREETINGS!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2>

<u>ANSWER</u><u>:</u>

<h2><u>DEFINITIONS</u></h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3><u>VOLUNTARY MUSCLES:</u></h3>

Voluntary muscles are those muscles which work under our conscious control and can be controlled at will also we can choose choose them when to use and when not to use. These are simply SKELETAL MUSCLES attached to the bone, so all the movements of hand and legs and whatever u do are because of voluntary muscles.

<h3><u>__________________________________________________</u></h3><h3><u>INVOLUNTARY MUSCLES:</u></h3>

the muscles in the human body that do not work under our will and we cant control them. They are mainly controlled by the autonomic nervous system in the body. So, involuntary muscles include all the muscles whose activity which is not controlled by our NERVES. They are also called SMOOTH MUSCLES since they are present as the visceral layer over the organs.

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>DIFFERENCES</h2>

1)      VOLUNTARY MUSCLES are under our control but INVOLUNTARY                 MUSCLES are not under our control

2)      VOLUNTARY MUSCLES are also known as skeletal muscles but INVOLUNTARY MUSCLES are also known as smooth muscles

3)      VOLUNTARY MUSCLES are attached to the bones in the body, but INVOLUNTARY MUSCLES are attached to the soft hollow internal organs.

4)      VOLUNTARY MUSCLES are controlled by the somatic nervous system. INVOLUNTARY MUSCLES are controlled by the autonomic nervous system.

5)      VOLUNTARY MSUCLES  require more energy. INVOLUNTARY MUSCLES require less energy.
