Which polyatomic ion is found in the compound represented by the formula NaHCO3?
2 answers:
Answer: The correct option is 2.
Explanation: Polyatomic ions are defined as the ions in which two or more elements are covalently bonded to act as a single unit. They always carry some charge.
Examples of polyatomic ions are: known as hydroxide ion,
known as sulfate ion
We are given a compound having 2 ions which are
and
. these ions are named as sodium ions and hydrogen carbonate ions.
Therefore, the correct option is 2.

Answer: C. High surface tension
Explanation:
Water has high specific heat as it require high heat to raise the temperature of 1 g of water through .
Surface tension is the net downward force acting on the surface of liquids due to the cohesive nature of liquids.
Water molecules are bonded by strong hydrogen bonding between the hydrogen atom and the electronegative oxygen atom making it polar. Thus water molecules present on the surface are strongly attracted by the molecules present below the surface and thus act as a stretched membrane.
The surface acquires a minimum surface are and thus acquire a spherical shape.
