Why are nonnative species a threat to biodiversity? A. They often use up resources that other organisms need
B. They are not able to successfully breed in the wild
C. They release pollution into many environments
D. They easily contract and spread diseases to other organisms

A. They often use up resources that other organisms need.

Explanation:

Invasive alien species are animals, plants, fungi and microorganisms entered and established in the environment from outside of their natural habitat. T

hey reproduce rapidly, out-compete native species for food, water and space, and are one of the main causes of global biodiversity loss.

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
