Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph:   Electronegativities generally increase from left to right across a period. This is due to an increase in nuclear charge because of the greater number of protons in the nucleus. Alkali metals have the lowest electronegativities, while halogens have the highest. Because most noble gases do not form compounds, they are generally not assigned electronegativity values. Note that there is little variation among the transition metals. Electronegativities generally decrease from top to bottom within a group due to the larger atomic size.   Q: Why do electronegativities decrease from top to bottom?   A:
Answer: larger atomic size

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph:   Other modifications that reduce weight include the lack of a urinary bladder. Birds possess a cloaca, a structure that allows water to be reabsorbed from waste back into the bloodstream. Uric acid is not expelled as a liquid but is concentrated into urate salts, which are expelled along with fecal matter. In this way, water is not held in the urinary bladder, which would increase body weight. Most bird species only possess one ovary rather than two, further reducing body mass. The air sacs that extend into bones to form pneumatic bones also join with the lungs and function in respiration. Unlike mammalian lungs in which air flows in two directions, as it is breathed in and out, airflow through bird lungs travels in one direction (Figure 29.32). Air sacs allow for this unidirectional airflow, which also creates a cross-current exchange system with the blood. In a cross-current or counter-current system, the air flows in one direction and the blood flows in the opposite direction, creating a very efficient means of gas exchange.   Q: Birds possess a cloaca, a structure that allows water to be reabsorbed from waste back into this?   A:
Answer: blood stream

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph:   Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion. The inertia of an object depends on its mass. Objects with greater mass have greater inertia. To overcome inertia, an unbalanced force must be applied to an object.   Q: The tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion is called?   A:
Answer:
inertia
