the world's water is contained in different types of bodies of water such as oceans, lakes, and rivers. He decides to research the percentage of Earth's water found in different locations. Which does his research reveal? Multiple choice question. A) Less than 3 percent of Earth's water is freshwater containing no salt. B) The ice caps located at both poles contain 30 percent of Earth's water. C) Fifty percent of Earth's water is in oceans and the glaciers at the poles. D) Ninety percent of Earth's water is in lakes, rivers, and groundwater.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The correct answer here would be that <u>less than 3 percent of Earth's water is freshwater containing no salt.</u>

<em>Generally speaking, about 71 % of the earth is made up of water. Out of this percentage, approximately 97 % is found in the oceans with less than 3 % being freshwater. About 68.7 % of the freshwater is locked-up as glacier and ice, 30.1 % is groundwater, while the remaining 1.2 % represents surface and other forms of freshwaters which include ground ice and permafrost, lakes, atmosphere, rivers, swamps and marshes, soil moisture, and the freshwater in living organisms. </em>

The correct option is A.

What two elements have the same number of energy level (shells)?
melomori [17]

Answer:

Elements that are found in the same horizontal row (belong to the same period) in the periodic table, e.g. Fluorine and Neon both have the same energy level of 2.

<em>Note: The question does not specify any two elements.</em>

Explanation:

The modern periodic table is organized into eight vertical columns known as groups and seven horizontal rows known as periods. The atomic number ( number of protons in the nucleus) of elements increases when moving across the periodic table from left to right. The horizontal rows or periods represents an energy levels or the number of electron shells in an element. Energy levels (also called electron shells) are fixed distances from the nucleus of an atom where electrons may be found. Elements belonging to the same period have the same number of energy level or shells. For example, the elements belonging to Period 2 include lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and neon. These all have the same number of energy level of 2.
