Answer:
Using diverse nutrient sources can help maintain soil health. Manure and compost add organic matter as well as an array of nutrients, but using just compost or manure to meet the nitrogen needs of the crop every year can result in excessive phosphorus levels in the soil.
Answer:
sulfur
Explanation:
In oxygen family sulfur has yellow color and also having stinky smell. Thus given statements are about sulfur.
It is present in oxygen family.
It has six valance electrons.
Its atomic number is 16.
Its atomic weight is 32 amu.
The electronic configuration of sulfur is given below,
S₁₆ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴
We can see the valance shell is third shell and it have six electrons thus sulfur have six valance electrons. (3s² 3p⁴ )
Sulfur is used in vulcanisation process.
It is used in bleach and also as a preservative for many food.
it is used to making gun powder.
The periodic table of the elements are describe the electronic configuration of the elements on which the properties of the elements depends. Among the given groups only metal, non-metal and semi-metal group are the part of periodic table. The metallic property depends upon the binding energy of the electrons with the nucleus. Thus the elements which have the valence electrons more near to the nucleus that is s-block elements are more metallic in nature. On the other hand the elements which have the valence electrons far from the nucleus are more non-metallic in nature like p-block elements. However the binding energy or the attraction of the outermost electrons to the nucleus depends not only its valence electrons position but also some other factors like shielding effect, effective nuclear charge etc.
The elements which are in between the metals and non-metals can be classified as semi-metals.
Although the conductivity of a material is an inherent property of the metals but sometime the nonmetals or semi-metals are also behave like a conductor due to presence of the other elements, thus it cannot be a p[property of the periodic table. Similarly acidity, flammable gases are not part of the periodic table.
