What is the main difference between the alpine tundra and the arctic tundra? a. the alpine tundra includes trees. b. the alpine tundra occurs on mountaintops. c. the alpine tundra has no animal life. d. the alpine tundra has lower temperatures.

The answer is:

B. The alpine tundra occurs on mountain tops.

If you'd like to know why:

Alpine tundra biomes are found in mountain tops, and the altitude is the reason why it is cold. Another difference between these two tundra biomes is the lack of permafrost in Alpine tundra. This allows Alpine tundra to have more plant variations than Arctic tundra but trees do not grow in Alpine tundra.

Knocking out the other choices though, there are many well-adapted animals in Alpine tundras, they do not have lower temperatures, and as mentioned before, trees cannot grow in the Alpine Tundra biomes.

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

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 have energy higher than those in the orbital while lower than those of the orbital.

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

potassium has electron configuration and calcium . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration 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 and should be highlighted as well.
