Researchers are studying lichens growing on trees in a forest ecosystem. At the beginning of the study, the researchers identified twelve lichen species in the forest.
Later, a forest fire happened in the study area. The researchers returned to the area and
found only six lichen species.
Which inference is best supported from the researchers' observations?

it should have an internal chamber and two thermometers sticking out of the top. the internal chamber will also be closed off from the outside.

answer: atomic mass was originally used to arrange elements on the periodic table, but is no longer used to organize the modern version.

explanation:

originally atomic mass was used to arrange elements on the periodic table from left to right in a row. each column then shows similar properties of elements of a group.

in modern periodic table, the atoms are arranged in increasing atomic number. as atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom which is unique for every atom.
