<u>If an earthworm is exposed to dry conditions, then it will retreat to a moist place because its skin needs to stay moist for the earthworm to survive.</u>
Answer: 4
Explanation:
Principle Quantum Numbers: This quantum number describes the size of the orbital. It is represented by n.
Azimuthal Quantum Number: This quantum number describes the shape of the orbital. It is represented as 'l'. The value of l ranges from 0 to (n-1). For l = 0,1,2,3... the orbitals are s, p, d, f...
Magnetic Quantum Number: This quantum number describes the orientation of the orbitals. It is represented as 
. The value of this quantum number ranges from 
. When l = 2, the value of will be -2, -1, 0, +1, +2.
Given : a f subshell, thus l = 3 , Thus the subshells present would be 3, 2, 1, 0 and thus n will have a value of 4.
Also electrons give are 32.
The formula for number of electrons is 
.
Thus principal quantum no will be n= 4.
Answer;
C. unchanged rock and mineral fragments
Explanation;
A large number of landforms and features found in desert environments are formed as the result of weathering. Weathering is defined as the breakdown and deposition of rocks by weather acting in situ
The two main types of weathering which occur in deserts are Mechanical weathering, which is the disintegration of a rock by mechanical forces that do not change the rock's chemical composition and Chemical weathering, which is the decomposition of a rock by the alteration of its chemical composition.
By contrast much of the weathered debris in deserts has resulted from mechanical weathering. Chemical weathering, however, is not completely absent in deserts. Over long time spans,clays and thin soils do form.
Answer:
Phosphorous has the smallest atomic size.
Explanation:
As we know these elements belong to same period means there valence shell is the same. So moving from left to right along the period the shell number remains constant but the number of protons and electrons increases. So, due to increase in number of protons the nuclear charge increases hence attracts the valence electrons more effectively resulting in the decrease of atomic size.
Elements and their atomic radius are as follow,
<span><span>Magnesium 0.160 nm

Aluminium 0.130 nm
