Elements are separate particles that contain the properties of only one type of element (pure substance) and an atom represents that element as the smallest non divisible particle that retains the properties of that element. Compounds can be formed by conjoining different atoms together in different ratios and shapes, so a combination of elements.
Claim: Earth's atmospheric CO2 levels were measured over the past 1000 years and correlated with average world temperatures. The data demostrate that Earth's temperature did not change during the period CO2 levels were steady. But the past 100 years show a dramatic rise in CO2 levels, with a corresponding rise in world temperatures. The CO2 rise can be traced back to the start of the industrial revolution, when machines began doing much of the work. These machine burn fossil fuels and the increased CO2 levels have led to a dramatic rise in world temperatures. The data clearly show the importance of reducing fossil fuel useage, as well as other CO2 emitters. A world of incresing temperatures will lead to greater natural disasters, such as storms, flooding, hurricanes, and drought - all of which upset the ecological balance of the planet.
Answer:
4
Explanation:
Ionization energy can be defined as the energy required for an atom to lose its valence electron to form an ion. Hence, it deals with how easily an atom would lose its electron and form an ion. As the valence electrons are lossless bound to the outermost shell, they can easily be lost without much problem or better still they can be lost easily. Hence, the energy change here is small and thus we can conclude that the ionization energy here is low.
The electron affinity works quite differently from the ionization energy. It deals with the way in which a neutral atom attracts an electron to form an ion. For an electron with loose valence electrons, the sure fact is that it does not really need these electrons. Hence, there is no need for an high electron affinity on its part. Thus, we conclude that the electron affinity is also low
