|
red |
|
platelets |

Elements in the same group in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same:
number of electron shells |
|
number of electrons |
|
number of electrons in their outer electron shell |
|
number of atomic mass units |
The columns of the Periodic Table are called groups and all elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer electron shell. The group that an element occupies generally determines its chemical properties as the number of outer shell electrons establishes the way it reacts with other elements to form molecules. So, because each element has the same number of electrons in its outer shell, each has similar reactivity.
Which of the following is not part of the carbon cycle?
precipitation |
|
photosynthesis |
|
decomposition |
|
respiration |
The carbon cycle represents the ciruit of carbon through Earth's ecosystem. Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants through photosynthesis. Plants then die and release carbon back into the atmosphere during decomposition or are eaten by animals who breathe (respiration) the carbon into the atmosphere they exhale and produce waste which also releases carbon as it decays.
Which of the following states of matter exists at the highest temperature?
solid |
|
none of these |
|
gas |
|
liquid |
Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.
