A major chemical spill occurred five years ago at Baker’s Beach, the world’s sole nesting ground for Merrick sea turtles, and pr

evented nearly all the eggs laid that year from hatching. Yet the number of adult female Merricks returning to lay their eggs at Baker’s Beach has actually increased somewhat since five years ago. Clearly, environmentalists’ prediction that the world’s Merrick population would decline as a result of the spill has proven unfounded.Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the argument offered in refutation of the environmentalists’ prediction?A. The chemical spill five years ago occurred at a time when there were neither Merrick sea turtles nor Merrick sea turtle eggs on Baker’s Beach.B. Female Merrick sea turtles begin returning to Baker’s Beach to lay their eggs when they are ten years old.C. Under normal conditions, only a small proportion of hatchling female Merrick sea turtles survive in the ocean until adulthood and return to lay their eggs at Baker’s Beach.D. Environmental pressures unrelated to the chemical spill have caused a significant decline in the population of one of the several species of sea birds that prey on Merrick sea turtle eggs.E. After the chemical spill, an environmental group rejected a proposal to increase the Merrick sea turtle population by transferring eggs from Baker’s Beach to nearby beaches that had not been affected by the spill.

Marrrta [24]
This the balanced equation based on the question 4Fe + 3O_2  -\ \textgreater \ 2Fe_2O_3.

We then proceed with the following calculations

28.0molFe*(\frac {3molO_2}{4mol Fe})= 21molO_2

The answer is 21molO_2 is produced.

Atoms of which element have the greatest tendency to gain electrons?
Anastasy [175]
Fluorine. 

Because:- Atoms want to become stable, for an atom to become stable, they need 8 valence electrons. Since Fluorine has 7 valence electrons, it only needs one more electron to become stable and have an octet. An octet is when an atom/element has 8 valence electrons. Since Fluorine will need to gain an electron, it will have a negative charge, and become an anion.

<h3>How are elements named?</h3>

Elements have been given names based on a variety of factors, <u>including their characteristics</u>, the compound or ore from which they were extracted, the method by which they were found or acquired, mythical characters, locations, and well-known individuals. Some components have <u>names that are descriptive and are based on one of their attributes.</u>

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry chooses the official element names and symbols (IUPAC). However, different nations frequently use similar names and symbols for elements. Official names and symbols for elements are not given until after their discovery has been confirmed. The discoverer may then suggest a name and a symbol.

There are name standards for several element groupings. Names of halogens end in -ine. All noble gas names, save helium, end in -on. The names of most other elements finish with -ium.
