<span>I use several different organic compounds at home. An example of a ketone would be acetone, which I use as nail polish remover. An example of an ester would be octyl acetate, which lends an orange fragrance to my perfume. An example of an alcohol would be isopropyl alcohol, commonly known as "rubbing alcohol", which I use to clean around my home.</span>

What kind of electrical charges do protons,electrons, and neutrons have?​
Vinil7 [7]

<em><u>Protons</u></em><em><u> = Positive Charge</u></em>

<em><u>Neutrons</u></em><em><u> = Neutral Charge/No Charge</u></em>

<em><u>Electrons</u></em><em><u> = Negative Charge</u></em>

<em>This one's simple: electrons have a negative charge, protons have a positive charge and neutrons — as the name implies — are neutral.</em>

<u><em>Protons</em></u>

<em>Elements are differentiated from each other by the number of protons within their nucleus. For example, carbon atoms have six protons in their nucleus. Atoms with seven protons are nitrogen atoms. The number of protons for each element is known as the atomic number and does not change in chemical reactions. In other words, the elements at the beginning of a reaction -- known as the reactants -- are the same elements at the end of a reaction -- known as the products.</em>

<em />

<em><u>Neutrons</u></em>

<em>Although elements have a specific number of protons, atoms of the same element may have different numbers of neutrons and are termed isotopes. For example, hydrogen has three isotopes, each with a single proton. Protium is an isotope of hydrogen with zero neutrons, deuterium has one neutron, and tritium has two neutrons. Although the number of neutrons may differ between isotopes, the isotopes all behave in a chemically similar manner.</em>

<em />

<u><em>Electrons</em></u>

<em>Electrons are not bound as tightly to the atom as protons and neutrons. This allows electrons to be lost, gained or even shared between atoms. Atoms that lose an electron become ions with a +1 charge, since there is now one more proton than electrons. Atoms that gain an electron have one more electron than protons and become a -1 ion. Chemical bonds that hold atoms together to form compounds result from these changes in the number and arrangement of electrons.</em>

Which is a problem associated with the use of trees for biomass? I. Potential deforestation II. Burning fossil carbon III. Poten
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Both Option (I) and Option (III)

Explanation:

Biomass is usually defined as those organic molecules that are obtained from plants and animals, in order to produce energy. It is a renewable resource. Some of the examples of biomass include wood, crop, animal fossil fuel.

A large number of trees are being cut down to construct these biomass energies such as woods. This results in the deforestation process where the forested areas are converted into empty dry soils. This results in the increasing rate of erosion because the prevailing wind and flowing water can easily carry away the topsoil and loses the fertility of the soil.

Thus, the correct answers are both options (I) and (III).
