Answer:
- <em><u>Measurement of the amount of variation of the species in a given area. </u></em>
Explanation:
<em>Bio</em> preffix means life. Thus, literally, biodiversity means how diverse is the life. This is, how many different organisms an ecosystem or biome has.
Thus, biodiverstiy, although more complex than just that, is a measure of the number of species that live in a region.
The biome with most species than any other, this is the biome with the greatest biodiversity, is the tropical rainforest biome, which are located near the equator. As you can imagine, a large number of different plants, animals, and microorganisms live in these forests, making them the regions with greatest biodiversity on the planet.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Let us recall that a negative ion is formed by addition of electrons to an atom. When electrons are added to the atom, greater interelectronic repulsion increases the size of the Te^2− hence it is greater in size than Te atom. Therefore, the ionic radius of Te^2− is greater than the atomic radius of Te.
In the second question, oxygen is positioned so far to the right because it has a far smaller nuclear charge compared to Te. Hence in the PES spectrum, the 1s sublevel of oxygen lies far to the right of that of Te.
Answer:
3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
Explanation
This is a redox reaction.
- Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
- Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
- An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet or duplet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.
- [Ne]= (1s²) (2s² 2p⁶)
A combination of both the reactions( Half-reactions) leads to a redox reaction.
Let us look at initial configurations of Al and Cl
[Al]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹
[Cl]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵
Hence, Al can lose 3 electrons to achieve octet config.
and, Cl can gain 1e to achieve nearest noble gas config. [Ar]
This reaction can be rewritten, by clearly mentioning the oxidation states of all the entities involved.
Al⁰ + Cl⁰ → (Al⁺³)(Cl⁻)₃
Here, Aluminum is undergoing an oxidation(i.e loss of electrons) from: 0→(+3)
Chlorine undergoes a reduction half reaction (i.e gain of electrons) from: 0→(-1). There are 3 such chlorine atoms, hence 3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
Answer:
The answer is SiO2
Explanation:
Silocon dioxide is written without a 1 after the silocon and with a 2 after the oxygen.
