    The atom X is phosphorus because it goes through many of the same things as phosphorus in a cycle does. One problem with phosphorus is that there is none of it in the atmosphere. This means that its cycle all occurs through the ground, producers, decomposers, and water. Other known things are that phosphorus is released from the weathering of rocks, it is absorbed by producers through its roots, phosphorus moves up the food chain as consumers eat the producers, and decomposers obtain phosphorus as they feed on dead remains of animals and it is released as waste. Phosphorus also gets into bodies of water when it combines with run-off water.

    Chemical Warfare easily played a big role in many of our World Wars. Chemical Warfare is using chemical compounds as a weapon to use in war that involves toxic properties. It happens to be very deadly and was a way to kill an area within seconds. Since the founding of chemical warfare, many scientists like to call it a weapon of mass destruction. Many countries have decided to ban the substances all together, but because there are weaker armies those countries have chosen to keep all substances to use for fighting in battles.

    Phosphate and nitrates are examples of polyatomic ions. Polyatomic ions, also known as molecular ions, are charged chemical species composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded or of a metal complex that can be considered to be acting to a single unit. Phosphates and nitrates are found in fertilizers and some detergents. When rain dissolves these materials make their way into the creeks and rivers. When the surface waters are rich with these materials, they can cause algae to grow, which completes with other organisms for light and other nutrients.
