Which plant is considered an invasive species in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia? es )
A)
Blackberries and raspberries are found blooming along open areas of the
park. These provide food for hungry bears.
B)
The tree-of-heaven is originally from China. It produces a chemical that
prevents other plants from growing around it.
The American chestnut tree was once the most common tree to see in the
park. All of the mature trees of this species are now gone.
D)
Poison ivy can cause red, itchy bumps on a hiker's skin when contact is
made with its leaves. This vine grows naturally from Canada south to
Florida

Explanation:

In ecology, a plant is said to be "INVASIVE" if it is FOREIGN or NON-NON-NATIVE to a particular region or area and also poses a great threat to the native species of that region. An invasive species, when introduced into a foreign habitat, heavily competes with the existing local species of that same habitat.

This is the case of the tree-of-heaven, which is originally from China. The tree produces a chemical that prevents other plants from growing around it. Note that this plant species is foreign to the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia as it originates from China. Likewise it harms the local or native species of the park by secreting a chemical that prevents other plants from growing around it. This characteristics portrays a plant that is INVASIVE.

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.
