Liquids can flow because their particles can move over each other. When water is poured into a glass, the particles of water move over each other and into the corners of the glass. The particles keep on moving over each other as the water takes the shape of the glass. Gases can flow because they can move in any direction.

b) 2,366: four significant figures.

c) 73.0: three significant figures.

d. 532.5: four significant figures.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to write each number by knowing we move the decimal places to the right as much as the exponent is, and also, we count every figure, even zeros, because they are to the right of the first nonzero digit:

a) 320: two significant figures because the rightmost zero is not preceded o followed by a decimal place.

b) 2,366: four significant figures.

c) 73.0: three significant figures, because the zero is followed by the decimal place.

d. 532.5: four significant figures.

Regards!

Which compound contains both covalent and ionic bonds? <br> a. NCl3 b. NaF c. HCN d. NH4OH
Marina86 [1]
<h2>NH_4OH contains both covalent and ionic bonds.</h2>

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals.

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element or the metal and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element or non metal.

a. NCl_3 contain covalent bonds as they are made up of non metals only.

b. NaF contain ionic bonds as they are made up of sodium metal and fluorine non metal.

c. HCN contain covalent bonds as they are made up of non metals only.

d. NH_4OH contain  ionic bonds between NH_4 and OH and covalent between N and H in NH_4^+

2. The Density of Water is 1.0000g/cm3. Based on this property of water,
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

if the object sank then that object has a greater density then water. if the object floated then its density is lower then water.

Explanation:

lets say object 1 has a density of 24/cm3. the density is greater then water (1.0000g/cm3) so it would sink. now lets say object 2 has a density of 0.79383g/cm3 since it's less then the density of water (1.0000g/cm3) it would float.
