Answer: The mowed lawn is the one from where the grasses are removed by using the machines or tools.
Explanation:
The mowed lawn is expected to have low number of species as the grasses may be few or scanty thus can support the population of few species like insects, mice, birds, and small number of grazing animals. On the other hand the weedy field can be hub of insects, reptiles like snakes, small mammals, and large mammals. Large weed field can provide food, and habitat to the large number of species. This will support the increase in biodiversity as compared to the mowed lawn.
The distance from the nucleus at which the electron is most likely to be found
Rubidium is an element that belongs to Group 1. As such it will have physical properties similar to the other Group 1 elements. Rubidium is below
Potassium in the periodic table but above
Cesium. As such it would be most like one of those two elements.
Almost all catalysts work by lowering the activation energy of the reaction with no change in the free energy of the reaction
- So in this case we can say that palladium reduce automobile pollution by catalyzing the reaction between un-burned hydrocarbons and oxygen :
D. by decreasing the activation energy
Answer: Boron is the element which has properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Explanation:
Metals are defined as the elements which loose electrons to attain stable electronic configuration. They attain positive charge and form cation. Example: Zinc (Zn), Aluminium (Al) , copper (Cu)
Non-metals are defined as the elements which gain electrons to attain stable electronic configuration. They attain negative charge and form anion. Example: Chlorine (Cl) , Sulphur (S)
Metalloids are defined as the elements which show properties of both metals and non-metals. There are 7 metalloids in the periodic table. They are Boron (B) , Silicon (Si) , Germanium (Ge) , Arsenic (As) , Antimony (Sb), Tellurium (Te) and Polonium (Po).
Thus boron is the element which has properties of both metals and nonmetals.
