Answer:
e. 3
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem we need to keep in mind the definition of pH:
As stated by the problem, the hydrogen ion concentration, [H⁺], is 1x10⁻³ M.
As all required information is available, we now can <u>calculate the pH</u>:
The correct option is thus e.
Shielding electrons are the electrons in the energy levels between the nucleus and the valence electrons. They are called "shielding" electrons because they "shield" the valence electrons from the force of attraction exerted by the positive charge in the nucleus. Hope this helps!!
Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the article found on the Scientific American website.
Explanation:
<em>Remember,</em> according to that article we are told that scientists notice that these insects have a long nymphal (immature form before becoming adults) stage, one that can last up to 13 to 17 years on the ground before they leave the ground looking for mating partners.
Because it is only after mating occurs at this point that their eggs are laid, that is why scientists believe that cicadas only reproduce every 13 or 17 years.
