1. PbO is a possible formula units, since O has charge of 2- and Pb can have a charge of 2+ or 4+, if it uses the 2+ ion, the charges will balance out to form PbO. Li+ and B(3-) would have Li3B, Al(3+) and Pb(2+) are both positive charges and would not balance out, Cl- and O(2-) are both negative charges and would not balance out.
2. Iodine is a halogen, so it has a charge of -1. Calcium is an alkaline earth metal in Group 2, so it has a charge of 2+. Therefore, if they were to form a formula unit, the resultant would be CaI2 (2 iodine atoms of 1- charge are needed to balance out the 2+ charge on the calcium atom).
3. Strontium is an alkaline earth metal with a charge of 2+, while phosphorus has a charge of 3-. Therefore, to balance the charges out, we would need 3 atoms of strontium and 2 atoms of phosphorus. This would give the formula unit of Sr3P2.
Answer:
The correct answers are:
1. stratospheric ozone depletion
2. climate change
3. desertification/land degradation
4. freshwater decline
5. biodiversity loss.
Explanation:
1) Stratospheric ozone depletion- ozone layer is the protective layer around the earth that protects us from harmful rays such as UV rays coming from the sun. There are depletions or holes in the ozone layer in some parts of Australia and therefore, therefore leading to skin cancer.
2) climatic change - The change in the average temperature or precipitation of an area that takes place due to global warming that changes the earth's climate is changing rapidly.
3) desertification or land degradation - It occurs due to past overuse of fertilizer or barren land that has zero crop yield.
4 )freshwater decline - freshwater is an essential part of the irrigation of crops in agriculture and due to the downfall of groundwater its decline the freshwater produce in these parts.
5) biodiversity loss - Coral reefs are habitats for many aquatic organisms and used as various ways of biodiversity. If there is a loss or decrease in their numbers it will affect and decline the biodiversity of the area.
