Photosynthesizing plants and algae convert light energy into chemical energy, which then gets passed through the food web to plant eaters, flesh eaters, and ultimately to scavengers and decomposers.
#1. An element or ion that has lost two electrons must have a net charge of 2+, because it has two more protons than electrons, therefore the answer is Mg2+
#2. aluminum ions have an oxidation state of 3+ and fluoride has an oxidation state of 1-, therefore I’m order for the charges to cancel you need 3 fluoride ions.
Therefore, the answer is AlF3
<span>Ionic compounds are chemical compounds in which ions are held together in a lattice structure by ionic bonds. They have a high melting and boiling point, and they have a high hardness and are very brittle. The cations and anions are stuck together in a sense. So in this case, sodium (Na) is attracted to Chlorine (Cl).</span>
I believe the answer is B. Liquid water is stabilized by strong inter-molecular forces between the molecules. This is why the energy needed to completely separate the molecules converting to gas is much greater than that of converting a solid into liquid. The latent heat of vaporization will have to be higher for the liquid to become a gas.
