Activation energy is the energy needed to begin breaking the bonds of reactants and is denoted as option D.
<h3>What is a Reactant?</h3>
These are the substances which take part in a chemical reaction and result in the formation of the product.
The activation energy is required as it breaks the bonds of the reactant thereby resulting in the product being formed. This therefore makes it the most appropriate choice.

Answer:
The ability to be maintained at a certain rate or level
Explanation:
When oxygen has an electronegativity of 3.5, and carbon has an electronegativity of 2.5, then the oxygen atom would have a slightly negative charge. The oxygen atom in the carbon monoxide molecule would pull more electrons to its side since it has higher electronegativity making it slightly negative and the carbon would have a slightly positive charge as it would contain less electrons. This results to the formation of a polar molecule. A polar molecule is made when the molecule contains a slightly positive end and a slightly negative end. It would have a net dipole which is a result of the partial opposing charges in the molecule.

Answer:
Strontium
Explanation:
The atomic number of strontium is 38.
It has 38 electrons.
It is alkaline earth metal. It has two valance electrons.
Strontium loses its two electrons and form cation with +2 charge.
Electronic configuration;
Sr₃₈ = [Kr] 5s²
The valance electrons present in 5s are lost by strontium atom and form Sr⁺² cation.
it is yellowish-white metal.
It is highly reactive.
It form salt with halogens.e.g
Sr + Br₂ → SrBr₂
IT react with oxygen and form oxide.
2Sr + O₂ → 2SrO
this oxide form hydroxide when react with water,
SrO + H₂O → Sr(OH)₂
With nitrogen it produced nitride,
3Sr + N₂ → Sr₃N₂
With acid like HCl,
Sr + 2HCl → SrCl₂ + H₂
