Answer:

After one month, the Moon returns to the same location in the sky as the Sun and we see a New Moon again. The demo represents a month as 28 days for simplicity. But the real cycle of phases takes 29.5 days to complete.

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Classify each element. Note that another term for main group is representative, another term for semi-metal is metalloid, and the inner transition metals are also called the lanthanide and actinide series.

Hf, Am, In, Ta, As, Se, Rn

Answer:

Hafnium and tantalum are transition elements.

Americium is a inner transition element.

Indium, Selenium and Radon are main group elements.

Arsenic is a metalloid.

Explanation:

Main group elements are the elements which belong to s block and p block. They are also known as representative elements.

S-block elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters s-sub shell. The general electronic configuration of these elements is $ns^{1-2}$

P-block elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters p-sub shell. The general electronic configuration of these elements is $np^{1-6}$

Metalloids are defined as the elements which show intermediate properties between metals and non-metals. There are 7 metalloids in the periodic table. They are: Boron, Silicon, germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium and Polonium.

Transition elements are known as d-block elements. D block elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters d sub shell. The general electronic configuration of these elements is $[(n-1)d^{1-10}ns^{0-2}]$

Inner transition elements are known as (f block) elements. (F block) elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters (f subshell). The general electronic configuration of these elements is $[(n-2)f^{1-14}(n-1)d^{0-1}ns^{2}]$ . They are also known as lanthanide and actinide series.

For the given elements:

Option 1: Hf

Hafnium is the 72nd element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Xe]4f^{14}5d^26s^2$

As, the last electron is entering the d subshell, it is a transition element.

Option 2: Am

Americium is the 95th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Rn]5f^{7}6d^07s^2$

As, the last electron is entering the (f subshell), it is a inner transition element.

Option 3: In

Indium is the 49th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Kr]5s^25p^1$

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element.

Option 4: Ta

Tantalum is the 73rd element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Xe]4f^{14}5d^56s^2$

As, the last electron is entering the d subshell, it is a transition element.

Option 5: As

Arsenic is the 33rd element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ar]4s^24p^3$

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element. It shows an intermediate property of metal and non-metal. Thus, it is a metalloid.

Option 6: Se

Selenium is the 34th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ar]4s^24p^4$

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element.

Option 7: Rn

Radon is the 86th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Xe]4f^{14}5d^{10}6s^26p^6$

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element.

Will has an aquarium with water, plants, and fish that eat the plants. It is sealed so no material can get in or out, and has gl

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The aquarium is covered and not in sunlight

Diminishing

Explanation:

The sun is the ultimate source of energy for all life and activities on earth. The aquarium is no exception.

Green plants manufactures food in the process of photosynthesis by combining carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.

This food provides all other lives with energy through the break down of energy held in carbon chains.

Is the aquarium now in sunlight or is it covered?

Here is a feeding relationship between plants and fish in a pond. The producer here is the plants. The consumer is the fish.

Using carbon dioxide and water, plants manufactures food. When the amount of carbon starts decreasing it shows that the aquarium is covered.

The source of dissolved carbon dioxide in water is the fish which gives off this gas as it respires. When the fish ceases to respire, it does not have enough food and might have died thereby decreasing carbon dioxide levels.

What is happening to the number of energy storage molecules in the plants and fish as a result?

The energy levels in both plant and fish will begin to reduce because the plant is unable to produce food which the fish depends on.

This will furnish a rapid decline in the energy available in these living organisms since the plants are not able to produce.
