Answer:

True

Explanation:

The desert refers to a region of arid land which is characterized by extreme temperatures, extreme dryness, low amount of precipitation and generally harsh living conditions. Because of these harsh conditions, they have been tagged with various names ranging from 'Death Valley' to 'the place from where there is no return' etc.

Every desert is made up of 2 components:  the <u>biotic (living) component</u> and the <u>abiotic (non-living) component</u>. The biotic (living) component consists of the plants and animals that have adapted to these harsh living conditions e.g. Cactus or Cacti, Holly plants, Camels, Lizards, Snakes etc. The abiotic (non-living) component consists of climate (subtropical deserts which are extremely cold or temperate deserts which are extremely hot), location, precipitation/rainfall

In which of the following substances does sharing of electrons between two atoms occur?
malfutka [58]

Answer:- B- SO_4^-^2

Explanations:- Sharing of electrons takes place between non metals and the bond formed by the sharing of electrons is known as covalent bond. In first choice we only have a zinc metal and so no sharing of electrons  would be possible here.

In third choice we have NaCl. Na is a metal and Cl is a non metal. The property of metals is to transfer its valence electrons to the non metal and the bond formed is known as ionic bond. So, third choice is also not correct.

In choice B we have sulfate ion that has sulfur and oxygen atoms and both of these are non metals. So, sharing of electrons is present here between the S and O atoms and covalent bonds are formed.

So, choice B- SO_4^-^2 is the right answer.

How many atoms are there in each of the following substances?
juin [17]

To know the number of atoms, it will be necessary to use the formula of avogadro. We calculate the number of moles then we can calculate the number of avogadro.

The molar mass of:

Phosphorus = 31g / mol

Mercury = 200 g / mol

Bismuth = 209 g / mol

Strontium = 87 g / mol.

The number of avogadro (N) is 6.023 10 ^ 23

n = m (mass) / M  (molar mass)

number of atoms = n. N = m / M  . N

number of phosphorus atoms = 5.14/31 . 6.023 10^23 = 9.98 10 ^ 22 atoms

Number of atoms of mercury = 2.16/200 . 6.023 10^23 = 6.5 10 ^ 21 atoms

Number of bismuth atoms = 1.8/209 . 6.023 10^23 = 5.18 10 ^ 21 atoms

Number of strontium atoms = 8.8 x 10-2 /87 . 6.023 10^23 = 6.09 10 ^ 20 atoms
