Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the article found on the Scientific American website.

Explanation:

<em>Remember,</em> according to that article we are told that scientists notice that these insects have a long nymphal (immature form before becoming adults) stage, one that can last up to 13 to 17 years on the ground before they leave the ground looking for mating partners.

Because it is only after mating occurs at this point that their eggs are laid, that is why scientists believe that cicadas only reproduce every 13 or 17 years.

Once the water evaporates, you will start to see the minerals that were present in the water before it changed state. If the water was from the ocean, you will see salt crystals in the evaporated water. If the water was fresh, you may see other minerals typically found in fresh water.

A negative ion is (larger/smaller) than its parent atom.<br> Why?
Kay [80]

Answer:

When an atom attracts extra electrons it becomes a negative ion. The negative ion is larger than the original atom. The positive nucleus remains the same, with the same attractive force. However, this attractive force is now pulling on more electrons and therefore has less effect.

Or

Positive ions are formed by removing one or more electrons from the outermost region of the atom. The opposite is true of negative ions. When electrons are added to form an anion, the increased electron-electron repulsions cause the electrons to spread out more in space. Thus, anions are larger than their parent atoms.

Which statements about fresh-water sources are true.? (Multiple Choice) (please help asap thanks!:)
Kay [80]

Answer:

The correct answers are:
"Only about 3 percent of Earth's water is fresh water."

"About 75% percent of the fresh water on Earth is frozen in ice sheets."

"The largest source of usable fresh water is groundwater."

Explanation:

3 percent of Earth's water is most certainly fresh water. Confirmed with a few fact checks.

The largest source of usable fresh water on Earth is groundwater. It's more difficult to access but it's there and much more usable than water say frozen in ice on the sea.

The most correct option left would be 75% of Earth's freshwater being in ice sheets even though it's about 70%.

Which of the following changes will always be true for a spontaneous reaction? (3 points)
Alika [10]
Answer is: <span>- delta G.
</span>The change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG), at constant temperature and pressure, is: <span>ΔG=ΔH−TΔS.
</span>ΔH<span> is the change in enthalpy.
</span>ΔS is change in entropy.
T is temperature of the system.
When ΔG is negative, a reaction (<span>occurs without the addition of external energy)</span><span> will be spontaneous (</span>exergonic).
