How do plants and animals differ in how they get food?

Animals get their food by preying on other species or scrounging for scraps they can find. Some eat other animals and some eat plants.
Plants get their food by absorbing minerals and water from the ground and absorbing carbon dioxide from the air through their leaves. They then also absorb sunlight and all of those components are made into food for the plant. Simple answer is through photosynthesis.

How is the periodic table used to predict the properties of an element?

Novosadov [1.4K]

There are many ways to predict the properties of an element here's one example.As you move from left to right the electron affinity and ionization energy both increase .Since elements of the same family have similar characteristic,you can often predict the properties of another element in its family

How many electrons are present in an uncharged atom with its 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p and 4s subshells filled and with five electrons

marshall27 [118]

Explanation

The orbital quantum number of an atomic subshell determines the maximum number of electrons it can contain. For example:

Each $s$ orbital $(l = 0)$ holds up to $4 \; l + 2 = 2$ electrons
Each $p$ orbital $(l = 1)$ holds up to $4 \; l + 2 = 6$ electrons
Each $d$ orbital $(l = 2)$ holds up to $4 \; l + 2 = 10$ electrons

The atom in question here contains four fully-occupied $s$ orbitals, two fully-occupied $p$ orbitals along with $5$ electrons in a partially-occupied $d$ orbital. It thus contains

$4 \times 2 + 2 \times 6 + 5 = 25 \; \text{electrons}$

How many electrons are in the highest occupied energy level of these atoms?

Yuliya22 [10]

Excuse me not giving an explanation; I haven't even learned chemistry before. I usually give explanations for math/english.

I think it would be for flourine: 7
aluminum: 8
can't help with the rest...
sorry!
