5. Location A is in the center of a large desert. What factor could account for its low annual

1 answer:

Given what we know about the mechanisms surrounding weather, we can confirm that Large deserts receive less rainfall due to the lack of bodies of water and "rainshadows".

Rainshadow is a term used to describe the effects of nearby mountains on the rainfall amounts of a desert. The mountain causes the air to rise greatly and lose moisture. This moisture is received by the mountain, which means that it does not reach the desert area.

Another limiting factor for the amount of rainfall received by deserts is the lack of bodies of water in the area. Once a desert is formed, it tends to lack large bodies of water. This limits the rainfall it receives given that there is no water nearby to evaporate and cause the formation of clouds.

Where are the alkali metals, the alkaline earth metals, the halogens, and the noble gases located on the periodic table?

ivolga24 [154]

The Alkali Metals- (Group 1A)can be found (excluding hydrogen) in the first column of the periodic table. They all have 1 valence electron and tend to form +1 cations when forming Ionic bonds with non metals.

The Alkali Earth Metals: (Group 2A) can be found in the second column/group on the periodic table. These elements form +2 positively charged cations when forming Ionic bonds with non metals. They also all have 2 valence electrons.

The Halogens: are the elements that make up the second to last group on the periodic table. These elements include Chlorine, Fluorine, Bromine, Iodine, and Astatine. These elements have 7 valence electrons. The usually form a -1 charged anion when forming ionic bonds with metals.

The Noble gases: the very last group on the periodic table. All these elements have 8 valance electrons. Due to the octet rule these atoms are already very stable and rarely react with other elements.
