Answer:

It will lose 1 electron

Its charge will be 1+, or simply (+)

Explanation:

Lithium it's located in the group one of the periodic table, the Alkali, and by rule, all Alkali are always gonna loose one electron during a chemical reaction to form a positive ion.

The charge is explained by the fact that, if lithium looses one electron, then it wi have less number of electrons than protons, meaning that, if there's a higher number of protons (positive charge), then the charge will be positive. And since the atom loosed one electron then its charge will be 1+

For example, during a chemical reaction calcium is always gonna loose 2 electrons, so its charge's gonna be Ca2+

According to Darwin's theory of evolution, what causes a struggle for survival in populations? *
goblinko [34]

Answer:

n a population, more individuals are born than can survive. The available resources in nature are finite (food, water, space, etc.) and the environment is not able to support unlimited growth of a population. This causes an inevitable struggle for existence among individuals (continual struggle for existence).Explanation:

What Happened to the Anchovy? - Part 2

Note about the question:

You will find the graph in the attached files.

Answer:

A) overfishing in previous years and warm waters with few nutrients

Explanation:

Under El Niño conditions, there is a tropical stream, which is usually weak, that acquires strength while the opposite streams debilitate. This event impedes warm water to go eastward, remaining in South America´s coasts, which produces unusual precipitations in Chile followed by floral bloom in Atacama desert and fewer precipitations events in Eastsouth Asia and North Australia. During and after the El Niño, occurs a fishery crisis because there is no upwelling on the coasts of South America, nutrients from the bottom do no ascend, and fish populations remain equal or decrease.    

Around 1970, there was e<u>xcessive overexploitation of fishes</u>. This overfishing probably led to a significant decrease in the anchovy population size, reducing the number of individuals in the reproductive stage, especially the females. The graph reflects that during the following years, there were also peaks in anchovy catch. The population did not have enough time to recover from the highest peak in 1970.

From 1982-1983 El Niño event was severe. No upwelling meant no nutrients to survive, and that the remaining anchovy population, previously affected by fishery, hardly made it that year. There was probably a fishery crisis, and hence, no animals were caught in 1984.

What is the name for the measure of the interconnectedness of spaces in a material and how it controls how readily a rock or sed
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Permeability

Explanation:

Permeability is usually defined as the property of rock in which the water (liquid or fluid) can easily percolate down into the deeper zone, through the interconnected pore spaces.

There are some factors that control the permeability, such as the shape and size of the voids, void ratio and the degree of saturation.

A highly permeable rock will allow more water to percolate through the voids in comparison to a low permeable rock. This percolated water eventually mixes with the groundwater.

For example, Gravels have high permeability, and Granite has low permeability.
