<u>Answer: </u>The correct statement is electrons are transferred from the lithium atom to the chlorine atom.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ionic bond is formed when there is complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom. The atom which donates electron is known as electropositive atom and the atom which accepts electron is known as electronegative atom.

Lithium is the 3rd element of the periodic table with electronic configuration 1s^22s^1

This atom can loose 1 electron and form Li^+ ion.

Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table with electronic configuration [Ne]3s^22p^5

This atom can gain 1 electron and form Cl^- ion.

Hence, n electron is transferred from lithium to chlorine atom which results in the formation of ionic bond.

Thus, the correct statement is electrons are transferred from the lithium atom to the chlorine atom.

<h2><em><u>Answer:</u></em></h2>

The five steps that are always taken in scientific research are;

  • Recognizing the problem
  • establishing a hypothesis
  • doing research and assembling data
  • escorting the experiment
  • and finally proceeding to a conclusion
<h2><em><u>Explanation:</u></em></h2>
  • Arya already performs the first two steps; as she first recognize the problem i.e. she observes the dry glass and she also formulate a hypothesis that "the water content in the soil is about two-thirds lower than that of other yards in the area"

  • Now she will collect the data and conduct the experiment on the soil and glass and then she will assemble the conclusion based on the results.Now she will collect the data and conduct the experiment on the soil and glass and then she will assemble the conclusion based on the results.

How does energy acquisition in the deep sea differ from energy acquisition near the ocean’s surface?
hram777 [196]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The energy acquisition in the deep sea differ from energy acquisition near the ocean’s surface by the fact that o<span>rganisms in the deep sea do not have direct access to sunlight. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
