Answer:

Nitrogen, the most abundant element in our atmosphere, is crucial to life. Nitrogen is found in soils and plants, in the water we drink, and in the air, we breathe. It is also essential to life: a key building block of DNA, which determines our genetics, is essential to plant growth, and therefore necessary for the food we grow. But as with everything, balance is key: too little nitrogen and plants cannot thrive, leading to low crop yields; but too much nitrogen can be toxic to plants, and can also harm our environment. Plants that do not have enough nitrogen become yellowish and do not grow well and can have smaller flowers and fruits. Farmers can add nitrogen fertilizer to produce better crops, but too much can hurt plants and animals, and pollute our aquatic systems. Understanding the Nitrogen Cycle—how nitrogen moves from the atmosphere to earth, through soils, and back to the atmosphere in an endless Cycle—can help us grow healthy crops and protect our environment.

During a hot summer, air temperatures along a coastline are higher above the land than they are above the water, even though bot

Over the ocean, the temperature rises much slower, because the water evaporates causing the hot molecules to go into the atmosphere, and the overall temperature of the water doesn't increase much, this causes the area without the water to be much hotter.

Missing question:
1) the rate of dissolving reaches zero
<span>2) the rate of crystallization reaches zero </span>
3) the rate of dissolving is zero and the rate of crystallization is greater than zero.
<span>4) both the rate of dissolving and the rate of crystallization are equal and greater than zero.
</span>
Answer is: 4) both the rate of dissolving and the rate of crystallization are equal and greater than zero.
Silver chloride (AgCl) dissolves and form silver and chlorine ions, in the same time silver and chlorine ions crystallizate and form solid salt silver chloride.
In equilibrium rates of dissolvinf and crysallization and concentration of ions do not change.

Classify the following substituents according to whether they are electron donors or electron acceptors relative to hydrogen by

igor_vitrenko [27]

Species that have a lone pair of electrons often donate electrons by resonance while substituents that are electron deficient take away electrons by resonance.

<h3>What is resonance?</h3>

The term resonace has to do with the movement of electron pairs in a molecule. Inductive effects has to do with the drawing of electron density towards an atom or bond.

The two effects depends on the nature of a substituent. For instance, species that have a lone pair of electrons often donate electrons by resonance while substituents that are electron deficient take away electrons by resonance.

The question is incomplete hence the exact nature of the substituents can not be determined.
