The amount of water on earth is the form and location of the water as it moves through the hydrologic cycle

Hey there!

I can't be sure my answers are the exact words, but it should be something along the lines of...

The amount of water on Earth is constant, but the form and location of the water changes as it moves through the water cycle.

This means that Earth has always had the same amount of water within in, along with it being the same water the whole time. No new water was introduced to our planet. Some of our water is liquid, some is solid, and some is gas. Some is deep in the soil and some is high up in the atmosphere. Some is in rain and some is in snow.

I hope this helps!

b) mutualism

hope this : )

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.
