Answer: Silica

Diatom is a group of minute algae. These organisms are unicellular and autotrophic. These are found in ocean, lakes, and soils. They can be observed in both marine and freshwater. The cell walls of these diatoms are made up of silica called as frustule. The silica wall contains of varieties of pores, minute spines, ridges and elevations which is specific for characterizing the diatom in specific genera.

Be sure to answer all parts. Part 1 out of 2 how many electrophilic centers are present in acetyl chloride (ch3cocl)?

natima [27]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

There is One electrophilic center in acetyl chloride.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Electrophile is defined as any specie which is electron deficient and is in need of electrons to complete its electron density or octet. The main two types of electrophiles are those species which either contain positive charge (i.e. NO₂⁺, Cl⁺, Br⁺ e.t.c) or partial positive charge like that contained by the sp² hybridized carbon of acetyl chloride shown below in attached picture.

In acetyl chloride the partial positive charge on sp² hybridized carbon is generated due to its direct bonding to highly electronegative elements *with partial negative charge) like oxygen and chlorine, which tend to pull the electron density from carbon atom making it electron deficient and a good electrophile for incoming nucleophile as a center of attack.

Evgesh-ka [11]

$V=277cm^{3}\\
m=928g\\\\
d=\frac{m}{V}=\frac{928g}{277cm^{3}}\approx3,35\frac{g}{cm^{3}}$

How is primary selection different from secondary succession?

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Explanation:

Primary and secondary succession occur after both human and natural events that cause drastic change in the makeup of an area. Primary succession occurs in areas where there is no soil and secondary succession occurs in areas where there is soil.

In primary succession, newly exposed or newly formed rock is colonized by living things for the first time. In secondary succession, an area previously occupied by living things is disturbed—disrupted—then recolonized following the disturbance.

Hope this helped :)
