Explanation:

The element CARBON enters the body in two NATURAL ways.

First is through eating and drinking. Almost all food that we eat contain the element carbon. As the ingested food reaches the digestive system, food is broken down into smaller pieces up until the molecular level. Some molecules are taken into the circulation, while others are excreted down as feces.

Second is by breathing. Certain air molecules contain carbon. One major air molecule is CARBON DIOXIDE. Some molecules are inhaled, but usually, CARBON DIOXIDE should be excreted from the body.

Unnatural ways when CARBON could enter the body is by medical intervention, as in intravenous injections, surgery, etc

Answer from: Quest

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

explanation

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the $3d$ have energy higher than those in the $4 s$ orbital while lower than those of the $4 p$ orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the $4s$ orbital is therefore filled right after $3p$ orbitals and before $3 d$ orbitals.

potassium has electron configuration $[\text{ar}] 4 s^{1}$ and calcium $[\text{ar}] 4 s^{2}$ . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration $[\text{ar}] 4 s^{2} \; 3d^{1}$ and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the $ns^{2} \; (n-1) p^{1}$ and should be highlighted as well.

Achemistry student needs to standardize a fresh solution of sodium hydroxide. he carefully weighs out of oxalic acid , a diprotic acid that can be purchased inexpensively in high purity, and dissolves it in of distilled water. the student then titrates the oxalic acid solution with his sodium hydroxide solution. when the titration reaches the equivalence point, the student finds he has used of sodium hydroxide solution.calculate the molarity of the student's sodium hydroxide solution. be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Percent ionization for a weak acid (ha) is determined by the following formula: percent ionization=[ha] ionized[ha] initial×100%for strong acids, ionization is nearly complete (100%) at most concentrations. however, for weak acids, the percent ionization changes significantly with concentration. the more diluted the acid is, the greater percent ionization.a certain weak acid, ha, has a ka value of 9.4×10? 7.part acalculate the percent ionization of ha in a 0.10 m solution.part bcalculate the percent ionization of ha in a 0.010 m solution
