Potassium (chemical symbol K, atomic number 19), a member of a group of chemical elements called alkali metals. Potassium ions are crucial nutrients for living organisms. The hydroxide of potassium is an significant industrial chemical that is used in fertilizers.

Beryllium is a member of the alkaline earth metals family and positioned at the top of group two of the periodic table. Beryllium alloys are used in the production of structural and lightweight materials for space vehicles, missiles, high-speed aircraft, and communication satellites. The thin sheets of beryllium foil are utilized with X-ray detection diagnostics because the foil can filter out visible light as well as allow only X-rays to pass through.

a fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis.[1] the age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[2] fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas.[3] other commonly used derivatives include kerosene and propane. fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon to hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields either alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.

the theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by andreas libavius "in his 1597 alchemia [alchymia]" and later by mikhail lomonosov "as early as 1757 and certainly by 1763".[4] the first use of the term "fossil fuel" was by the german chemist caspar neumann, in english translation in 1759.[5]

in 2017 the world's primary energy sources consisted of petroleum (34%), coal (28%), natural gas (23%), amounting to an 85% share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world.[6] non-fossil sources in 2006 included nuclear (8.5%), hydroelectric (6.3%), and others (geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood, waste) amounting to 0.9%.[7] world energy consumption was growing at about 2.3% per year. in 2015 about 18% of worldwide consumption was from renewable sources.[8]

Answer from: Quest

Schools are being forced to embrace computers. unlike their "digital immigrant" teachers, these students are "digital natives", born into a world where technology is an integral part of everyday life. almost every student has access to a multitude of computers, laptops and tablet devices. it would be crazy to assume an assignment would notbe written on computer in this day and age.many schools now have a 1-to-1 computer policy, and many districts and states in the united states have mandated computers or ipads across the state for every student, including los angeles, the second largest school district in the country.but the thing is, when they tried it in la, it wasn't the success they hoped for. that's because the tablets weren't used as much as they expected. rather, it appeared there was a gap between the digital native's love of technology and their use of it in the classroom.this conflicted relationship with computers is also underscored by much of the literature on education. it is also highlighted in professional development and conferences such as edutech.

What happens as electrons move along the chain of molecules known as the electron transport chain? they gain energy, which causes atp molecules to lose phosphate groups. they gain energy, which causes h *ions to join with oxygen to produce water. they lose energy, which is then used by the cell to make atp. they lose energy, which is then used to break down atp.
