A pure element unbound or in a diatomic state, such as cl2, always has an oxidation number of 0 (zero).
<h3>Why does pure element or a diatomic molecule has zero oxidation state?</h3>
In a neutral substance with atoms of only one element, the oxidation number of an atom is zero. As a result, the oxidation number of the atoms in O2, O3, P4, S8, and aluminum metal is 0. The oxidation numbers for an element in its normal state will be zero. O2 and Cl2 are diatomic gas molecules that occur naturally, thus when they are in that state, they have an oxidation state of zero. Metals like zinc will also have an oxidation number of zero if they are in their natural solid state.
O2 and Cl2 are neutral diatomic, hence they will always have a zero oxidation state. It is impossible for one oxygen atom to have a negative 2 charge while the other has a positive 2. The oxidation states should be 0 if the elements are solids, liquids, or any type of diatomic molecule.

Ans: B) semiconductor
Photovoltaic cells work by converting light energy to electrical energy. These cells are essentially made of silicon based semiconductors. When photons (light energy) strike the surface of the semiconducting material electrons are let loose. The delocalization of electron creates a flow of charge which produces electricity.
Thus, it is the semiconductor present in a photovoltaic cell which is responsible for converting light to electricity.
Answer: radio wave frequencies have longer wavelengths and smaller
Energies per photon
Apple snails inhabit a wide range of ecosystems from swamps, ditches and ponds to lakes and rivers. The majority of the species prefer lentic water above streaming water and only a few species have adapted to rivers with strong current.

The lung/gills combination in apple snails reflects their adaptation to habitats with oxygen poor water. This is often the case in swamps and shallow waters. The without thelung they would completely depend on their gills, which would decrease their ability to survive.
Another advantage of air breathing in combination with a shell door (operculum) is the ability to survive periods of drought often common in these habitats during the dry season.
