Organizing the Elements On a clear night, you can see one of the various phases of the Moon. Each month, the Moon appears to grow larger and then smaller in a predictable pattern. This type of change is periodic. Periodic means “repeated in a pattern.” For example, a calendar is a periodic table of the days and months of the year. The days of the week are also periodic because they repeat themselves every seven days.

In the late 1800s, a Russian chemist named Dmitri Mendeleev presented a way to organize all the known elements. While studying the physical and chemical properties of the elements, Mendeleev found that these properties repeated in predictable patterns based on an element's atomic mass. Because the pattern repeated, it was considered to be periodic.

Figure 8 shows one of Mendeleev's early periodic charts. Mendeleev arranged elements in rows based on increasing atomic mass and in columns based on elements that shared similar physical and chemical properties. Today, this arrangement is called the periodic table of elements. In the modern periodic table, the elements are arranged by increasing atomic number—not atomic mass—and by periodic changes in physical and chemical properties.

NlGGA ARE YOU GAY FOFF

Explanation:

elly's long hair:

a. if the salon only takes cash, then this isn't the problem. it doesn't matter how much she has in her checking account.   she can't get a haircut until she has the cash.

b. if she has overdraft protection, then there's no problem.   she can go ahead and write a check that her account can't cover, then sometime later, pay the bank some outrageous usury for loaning her a few bucks for a few days, but with beautiful hair.

c. if elly has some principles, and doesn't want to write a bad check, then now she has a problem.   her desire for the new hairstyle is in conflict with her honesty and integrity.

d.   if the bank will not process a check she writes, then even if she had a million $$ in her account, she couldn't use any of it.   the amount she has in her account is not the problem.   and if i may suggest, she might as well close her checking account, and put the money where it'll work for her.   it's not doing her a bit of good in a checking account, since she can't write any checks.

justin can't pay the full balance:

a. he can't even handle the credit limit he has now.   under no circumstances should he ask for a higher limit.

b.   he can ask for the grace period to be extended.   but that's no solution, the bank will almost certainly refuse anyway, and there are much better options.   he knew the rules of his credit card when he started using it.

c.   he definitely should pay the interest on the balance, plus as much of the balance as he can cover at the same time.

d.   he definitely should pay the minimum otherwise they could shut down his card.   he should also pay as much more as he possibly can.   he should also remember the awkward situation he's in, stop buying stuff on credit that he can't afford, and avoid adding any more debt.

i'd say that justin's best best option isn't on this list of choices.   what he has to do:   pay as much as he can at least the minimum payment plus as much more as he can and then avoid adding more debt.
