Answer:

ionic

Explanation:

Ionic bonds exist between Ca and F ions in CaF₂. Ionic bonds are interatomic bonds formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to the other.

The donor atom here is Ca and it has two valence electrons. Fluorine is the receiving atom with 7 electrons in its outermost shell.

Ca would give one each of its two outermost electrons to the fluorine atoms to complete their octet. Ca ion would now resemble Argon and the flourine atoms would look more like Neon atoms.

This is an ionic bond

Write the net ionic equation for the precipitation reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of chromium(III) bromide and pota

expeople1 [14]

Explanation:

An ionic equation will be the one in which all the participating species will be present as ions.

The given reaction will be as follows.

$CrBr_{3} + K_{2}CO_{3} \rightarrow Cr_{2}(CO_{3})_{3}(s) + KBr$

Balancing this equation by multiplying $CrBr_{3}$ by 2 and $K_{2}CO_{3}$ by 3 on reactant side. Whereas multiply KBr by 6 on product side.

$2CrBr_{3} + 3K_{2}CO_{3} \rightarrow Cr_{2}(CO_{3})_{3}(s) + 6KBr$

Hence, the net ionic equation will be as follows.

$2Cr^{3+}(aq) + 3CO^{2-}_{3}(aq) + 6K^{+} + 6Br^{-} \rightarrow Cr_{2}(CO_{3})_{3}(s) + 6K^{+} + 6Br^{-}$

As both $K^{+}$ and $Br^{-}$ are spectator ions. Hence, the net ionic equation will be as follows.

$2Cr^{3+}(aq) + 3CO^{2-}_{3}(aq) \rightarrow Cr_{2}(CO_{3})_{3}(s)$

What type (or two types) of energy is “heat energy on earth escapes into space”?

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

I think it's c). <em>Radiation. </em>I wasn't really sure so I done a go o.gle search and that is what I found. If you want further information, here it is: On Earth, heat travels by conduction, convection and radiation. In space, conduction and convection are almost entirely non-existent. Radiation is the primary way that heat travels in space. Pls let me know if this helps. Mark as brainliest if u can.
