The element is most likely PHOSPHORUS.

Phosphorus is an element with an atomic number of 15. The electronic configuration of the element is 2,8,5. This configuration implies that, each atom of phosphorus has three sub shell, the first sub shell has 2 electrons, the second has 8 electrons while the outermost sub shell has 5 electrons. The electrons in the outermost shell are also called the valence shell. Thus, phosphorus has 5 electrons in its valence shell.

Answer:

The mechanical energy produced on burning fossil fuels is transformed into chemical energy stored in carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

When fossil fuels are burnt, mechanical energy is produced. Remember that according to the first law of thermodynamics, energy is neither created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another. Hence the mechanical energy produced when fossil fuels are burnt for industrial use, heating of homes, electricity generation , cooking etc the mechanical energy produced is not 'lost'. It must be transformed in to another form of energy.

In the image the arrow G----> C, shows the mechanical energy produced when fossil fuels are burnt are stored as chemical energy in CO2 bonds. CO2 is found in the atmosphere, hence the arrow point upwards from the source towards the atmosphere (C is the atmospheric reservoir of CO2). The energy is subsequently used by producers to produce chemical energy stored in food.

What is the force of attraction between the particles in a salt crystal
Papessa [141]

Answer:

Electrostatic attraction between the ions

Step-by-step explanation:

A salt crystal consists of Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions stacked together in a crystal.

The ions have opposite charges, so they are electrostatically attracted to each other.

Because the ions are so close together, the attractive forces are quite large.
