Answer: The correct option is (D) lithium (Li).

Explanation: Hydrogen is the element which belong to period 1. The atomic number of hydrogen is, 1

The electronic configuration of hydrogen is,

The number of valence electrons present in hydrogen is, 1.

(A) Helium is the element which belong to period 1. The atomic number of helium is, 2

The electronic configuration of helium is,

The number of valence electrons present in helium is, 2.

(B) Oxygen is the element which belong to period 2. The atomic number of oxygen is, 8

The electronic configuration of oxygen is,

The number of valence electrons present in oxygen is, 6.

(C) Nitrogen is the element which belong to period 2. The atomic number of nitrogen is, 7

The electronic configuration of nitrogen is,

The number of valence electrons present in nitrogen is, 5.

(D) Lithium is the element which belong to period 2. The atomic number of lithium is, 3

The electronic configuration of lithium is,

The number of valence electrons present in lithium is, 1.

From this we conclude that the lithium element has the same number of valence electrons as hydrogen.

Hence, the correct option is (D) lithium (Li).

Name three invasive species and the specific location on Earth that they are affecting.

yan [13]

Answer:

Rats - Virgin Island

Hemlock - Asia

Zebra moulds - Great Lakes

Explanation:

An alien species is one that was introduced into a new environment, but does not have harmful effects. Such alien species are considered invasive species as they begin to have harmful effects on the new habitat. Invasive species can cause damage to the ecosystem, economic harm or human health effects.

Three invasive species are as following:

Rats that came on board ships to the Virgin Islands infested the islands' sugar cane fields and caused significant crop damage.
The woolly adelgid hemlock is an invasive Asian insect which rapidly kills infested hemlock trees.
Zebra moulds in the Great Lakes can easily cover submerged surfaces, obstructing water intakes at water treatment plants and power plants
