Answer:

D, Li2S

Explanation:

This is because Lithium, which is in group IA of the periodic table, has a charge of +1. Sulfur will have a charge of -2 because it is in group 6A in the periodic table, which means to balance these out, there needs to be 2 lithium ions which would result in a charge of +2. With Lithium now having a charge of +2 due to having two atoms in the compound, and sulfur already having a charge of -2 as one atom, these two cancel out meaning the compound is neutral.

Cells are organized into tissues. Tissues carry out specific functions. Groups of tissues can then form organs that also have specific functions to carry out. Lastly groups of organs form organ systems that regulate many functions in a specific part of the body.

4. Imagine you have a radioactive sample containing both Virtualium and decayed atoms of Virtualium. After analysis, you find it

Romashka [77]

My sample would be 4000 years old because on my graph, I had about 9 Virtualium left at trial 4 so I am guessing that it would be 4000 years old.
