Answer:

C) +1

Explanation:

The alkali metals all have a oxidation number of +1. Having just one valence electron, this group of elements would become more stable by losing that one electron. When it does, the atom now contains one more proton (+) than electron (+), giving it an overall oxidation number of +1.

Group 1 metals are the furthest to the left on the periodic table.  Thus they only need to lose 1 electron to form a full octet.  So when an atom loses an electron, they have 1 more proton than electrons, and that would give it a +1 charge. or C

2. Traditionally, protists were classified in kingdom Protista. How has the classification of protists changed? 3. Relate Cause
pantera1 [17]

Protists are the eukaryotes which are neither plants, animals nor fungi. But they are plant-like, fungi-like and animal-like organisms.  It is difficult to classify all the protists in one kingdom Protista because of their numerous diversified traits. There are a few parasites, predators and also producers among the protists. Some have a cell wall, while others have a cell membrane. Mode of locomotion can be flagella, cilia or the pseudopodia. The best example is the <em>Euglena</em> exhibiting both plant and animal like characteristics in having a chloroplast performing photosynthesis and exhibiting locomotion by flagella. These diversified traits made the scientists to reclassify the protists. The kingdoms which arose from protist ancestors include the kingdom animalia, plantae and mycota sharing common characteristic features with their ancestor. Scientists say that we should not look for the earliest ancestors of animals among modern-day protists because, the modern day protists have gone through a process of evolution which makes them different from their early ancestors. The gradual changes during the course of evolution has made them different from their ancestors with respect to their structure, adaptations and also the genetic composition.

<span>The responding variable in this experiment of the students experiment where she places three identical plants on three different window sills which were expose to different amounts of sunlight exposure and same amount of water each day is the amount of sunlight because even the plant receives the same amount of water but each of them didn't expose the same amount of sunlight than the growth of the plant will not be the same.</span>
