I believe that the best definition of the word common in environmental science is a typical resource. A typical resource is a resource that is not hard to find and is very common. The answer to the question will hence be A.
The answer could not be the other three choices because a shared resource is a resource that is used by more than one organism in the environment. A worthless resource is one that has no use in the environment while a rare resource is one that is hard to find.
In order for a solute to dissolve in a solvent,
the attractive forces between solute particles and the solvent particles must
be stronger than the attractive forces between solute-solute and
solvent-solvent particles. This is important so that the solute will remain in
solution.
The middle nitrogen has two sigma bonds and one pi bond. You know that one p orbital is used in the double bond and two sp2 orbitals are involved in the sigma bond. This leaves one sp2 orbital for the lone pair to occupy.
...a metal atom will *lose* electrons to form a *positive* cation and a nonmetal atom will *accept* electrons to form an *negative* anion.
