Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A The element is krypton, Kr, and it is not very reactive.

B The element is chlorine, Cl, and it is highly reactive.

C The element is krypton, Kr, and it is highly reactive.

D The element is chlorine, Cl, and it is not very reactive.

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

An atom is identified by its atomic number, which is the number of protons it contains. In this question, it is said that the atoms of a certain element each contain 36 protons. Using the periodic table, the element with atomic no. 36 is KRYPTON.

Also, Krypton posseses 8 valence electrons in its outer shell. In accordance to the octet rule, Krypton has no further need to engage in any chemical reaction to fill its electron shell because it is already filled (8 valence electrons). This accounts for the reason Krypton belongs to "Noble gases" and very unreactive.

What is the difference between circulatory system and types of circulation
Nady [450]

Answer:

The circulatory system, also called the cardiovascular system or the vascular system, is an organ system that permits blood to circulate and transport nutrients (such as amino acids and electrolytes), oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood cells to and from the cells in the body to provide nourishment and help in fighting diseases, stabilize temperature and pH, and maintain homeostasis.

There are two main types of circulatory systems: 1. open circulatory systems and closed circulatory systems. Open circulatory systems are systems where internal organs and body tissues are surrounded by circulatory fluid. This fluid is called hemolymph, and it's pretty much like blood, except that it doesn't contain oxygen transporting cells.

2. The closed circulatory system of some mollusks and all vertebrates and higher invertebrates is a much more efficient system. Here blood is pumped through a closed system of arteries, veins, and capillaries. Capillaries surround the organs, making sure that all cells have an equal opportunity for nourishment and removal of their waste products. However, even closed circulatory systems differ as we move further up the evolutionary tree.
