What is the criteria to place an element in a particular group?

Answer: The criteria to place elements into groups and periods lies in their atomic number

Explanation:

As we know that period is the horizontal rows of elements in the periodic table and groups are vertical column of elements in the periodic table.

In a period we place those elements that have same number of shells and in a group those elements are placed that have different number of shells and the number of shells increases from top to bottom in a periodic table

For example

Sodium having symbol Na, atomic number of sodium is eleven it's electronic configuration is 1s2,2s2,2p6,3s1, next to it in a period is places potassium having symbol,K, it's electronic configuration is 1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2.

Sodium and potassium both r placed in a period not in a group because both of these have same outer most shell, only the number of electron in outer most shell varies.

Answer:

Explanation:

THE PHOTOCHEMICAL(LIGHT) REACTIONS :This is a phase of photosynthesis where sunlight is used as a source of energy to manufacture two chemical compounds which are "Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate"-NADPH and "Adenosine triphosphate"-ATP.This phase of photosynthesis involves 4 steps or reactions which are :

STEP 1 : Activation or Energization of chlorophyll - In this reaction,chlorophyll molecules in green algae or plants absorb sunlight and become activated,that is the electrons of the chlorophyll molecule acquire solar energy and become excited.

STEP 2 : PHOTOLYSIS OF WATER - Here the energy absorbed by the chlorophyll molecules are used to split water molecules into H+ ions and OH-- ions.

STEP 3:Formation of NADPH -The hydrogen ions (H+) produced reacts with an NADP ( an electron carrier in the chlorophyll) to form NADPH.

STEP 4: FORMATION OF ATP - The high energy generated from the electron transfer process or chain is used to add a phosphate group to ADP (Adenosine dphosphate) to form ATP.

DARK PHASE :In this phase of photosynthesis,the NADPH generated in the light phase is used as a reducing equivalent to reduce CO2 to form Glucose (food) using the ATP generated as a source of energy.

What path does water take as it collects salt while flowing to the ocean?
vichka [17]

Answer:Ocean water is constantly moving, and not only in the form of waves and tides. Ocean currents flow like vast rivers, sweeping along predictable paths. Some ocean currents flow at the surface; others flow deep within water. Some currents flow for short distances; others cross entire ocean basins and even circle the globe.

By moving heat from the equator toward the poles, ocean currents play an important role in controlling the climate. Ocean currents are also critically important to sea life. They carry nutrients and food to organisms that live permanently attached in one place, and carry reproductive cells and ocean life to new places.
