The symbol for xenon (xe) would be a part of the noble gas notation for the element cesium.
For writing the electronic configuration of any element by using the preceding noble gas configuration, we simply use the symbols of noble gas belongs to the previous period of that particular elements. We can't use the symbol of noble gas of same period from which the element belong.
A is the wrong option because the noble gas in the preceding period to the period from which antimony belongs is krypton.
The actual electronic configuration of antimony is as follow:
[Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p3
B is correct option because the noble gas in the preceding period to the period from which Cesium belongs is Xenon.
The actual electronic configuration of Cesium is as follow:
[Xe] 6s1
Thus, we concluded that the symbol for xenon (xe) would be a part of the noble gas notation for the element cesium.

What is reflux? isn't it like when u aren't able to digest something?
The atomic number in an element is usually how many protons the element has. For example, Hydrogen has a 1 on top of the H (on the periodic table), therefore, Hydrogen has 1 proton. Oxygen has an 8 on top of the O (on the periodic table) so therefore, Oxygen has 8 protons.
Answer:
a.) The garden plants provide energy to all the other organisms. While not every organism consumes garden plants directly, every organism's food lineage can be traced to garden plants. For instance, while ground beetles do not directly consume garden plants, they do eat snails, and snails eat garden plants.
b.) The slug population might increase is the aphid population decreased because there would be less competition for food resources. Both populations consume garden plants, and there is only a finite number of garden plants. Therefore, there is a limit that each population can consume. If there were less aphids eating the garden plants, there would be more left for the slugs. Less starving slugs would lead to greater reproduction and thus a higher slug population.
