Bioaccumulation refers to the accumulation of chemicals in a living organism. The compound or chemical accumulates at a rate faster than it is being metabolized or excreted by the organism. Chemicals bioaccumulate by binding to the proteins and fats in an organism while others bioaccumulate through the repeated consumption of contaminated organisms.
Pesticides containing chemicals that dissolve easily in fat but not in water tend to bioaccumulate. Pesticides that contain chemicals that can easily be metabolized by organisms do not bioaccumulate. In summary, the nature of the chemical used in pesticides and the capability of organisms to metabolize the said chemicals can dictate whether it will bioaccumulate or not.
Answer:
-Atoms are neutral; they contain the same number of protons as electrons. By definition, an ion is an electrically charged particle produced by either removing electrons from a neutral atom to give a positive ion or adding electrons to a neutral atom to give a negative ion.
-An atom has an equal number of protons and electrons. An ion has an imbalance between the number of protons and electrons.
-An atom has no electrical charge. Ions have an electrical charge because they have an imbalance of protons and electrons.

Answer:
43.7
Explanation:
Volume of gas = 1.00L
Time = 12 hours
Decrease in 1 balloon = 0.200L
Decrease in second balloon = 0.0603L
R1 = rate at which helium diffuses= 0.20/12= 0.0166
R2 = rate at which heavier gas diffuses = 0.0693/12 = 0.00502
Using grahms law
R1²/R2² = m/4
= 0.0166²/0.00502² = m/4
= 10.935 = m/4
When we cross multiply
m is the molar mass of heavier gas = 43.73
1) All matter is made of atoms. Atoms are indivisible and indestructible.
2) All atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties
3) Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more different kinds of atoms.
4) A chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms.
1 and 2 were proved wrong.
