Marine food chains at risk of collapse, extensive study of world's oceans finds. ... The acidification of the ocean, where the pH of water drops as it absorbs carbon dioxide, will make it hard for creatures such as coral, oysters and mussels to form the shells and structures that sustain them.
Answer:
The number of electron domains in a molecule or ion is the number of bonds (double and triple bonds count as one domain) plus the number of nonbonding (lone) electron pairs.
Explanation:
all i know is that the formula for triangles is base times hight divided by two, so add in a number to replace the missing number, multiply it by 55 and divide the answer by two. hope this helps and i really hope you get it right! or that im right...
sorry about the late response...
<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:
Charge of an ionic element = Number of protons (p) - Number of electrons (e)
Explanation:
Atoms of elements are made up of three subatomic particles viz: neutron, proton and electron. The proton is the subatomic particle that carries the positive charge (+) while the electron is the subatomic particle that carries the negative charge (-).
The atom of any element is NEUTRAL when the number of protons in its nucleus is equal to the number of electrons surrounding its nucleus. However, an ion (charged atom) arises when there is a difference in the number of protons and electrons in an atom.
The equation to determine the charge an ion will carry is: NUMBER OF PROTONS (p) - NUMBER OF ELECTRONS (e).
This equation shows that an ion will be:
- positively charged if the number of protons is > number of electrons.
- negatively charged if the number of protons is < number of electrons.
