Answer:

A₅B₄

Explanation:

Since we have one atom of element A at the center of each face of the unit cell, since the unit cell is a cubic cell, we have 6 faces. Since the atom on the face of the unit cell is shared with another cell, we have half of it in the unit cell is shared So, the number of atoms per face is 1/2 atom/face × 6 faces = 4 atoms on the faces of the unit cell.

Also, we have 1 atom at each corner of the cubic unit cell. Since there are 8 corner in the cubic unit cell. Also, each atom at the corner is shared with 8 unit cells, so we have 1/8 atom per corner. So, the number of atoms per unit cell is 1/8 atom/corner × 8 corners = 1 atoms at the corners of the unit cell.

So, in total we have 4 + 1 = 5 atoms of element A in the unit cell.

Also, there are 4 atoms of element B in the unit cell.

So, the ratio of atoms of element A to element B is 5 : 4.

A:B = 5:4

So, the empirical formula of the compound containing elements A and B is A₅B₄

What happens when an ecosystem reaches the maximum number of individuals it can support
tangare [24]

Answer:

A collapse of the population is rotting, food is not enough and livelihoods have become unfeasible to decrease the number of individuals again.

Another way is to generate mutations to generate a species more vulnerable to decreasing numbers.

In this way the overpopulation is controlled.

Explanation:

In ecosystems, if an increased population breaks the balance of this and begins a new constant adaptation of the extinction of some and overpopulation of others, which may be some chains break or remain unstable.
