(iv) Identify one likely cause for the difference between the projected land area for GM crops in
industrialized countries in 2004 and the actual land area for GM crops in industrialized countries in
2004.

tracks, burrows, eggshells, nests, tooth marks, or gastroliths

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.

i have no clue hope you find the answer

i believe the answer is true.
