Question

which of the following best matches the description? accumulation of potential acid - forming particles on a surface. select one: a. oxides of nitrogen b. secondary air pollutants c. primary air pollutants d. sulfur dioxide e. particulates f. thermal inversion g. radon h. ozone i. acid deposition j. photochemical smog k. greenhouse effect

Explanation:

Acid deposition refers to the accumulation of potential acid - forming particles on a surface. These particles can be in the form of dry deposition (particles) or wet deposition (rain, snow etc. carrying acids). Other options like oxides of nitrogen, sulfur dioxide are components contributing to acid - forming substances but don't directly describe the accumulation process. Particulates may or may not be acid - forming. Secondary and primary air pollutants are broad categories. Thermal inversion, radon, ozone, photochemical smog, and greenhouse effect are not related to this specific description.

Answer:

i. acid deposition
