Answer
B. One element takes the place of another in a compound
Explanation
A single-replacement reaction occurs when one element is substituted for another element in a compound.The reacting materials are normally pure elements such as a metal or hydrogen gas with an aqueous compound.A new aqueous compound plus a different pure element are formed as products.
Atoms of elements that are nonmetals tend to gain electrons and atoms of metallic elements tend to lose electrons. Metals have few electrons in their valence shells.
By losing those electrons, these metals achieve noble gas configuration and satisfy the octet rule.
Nonmetals that have close to 8 electrons in their valence shells readily accept electrons to achieve noble gas configuration.
An example is the reaction between calcium and oxygen. Calcium is a metal and has 2 valence electrons. Oxygen is a nonmetal and has 6 valence electrons.
Calcium gives up its two valence electrons and oxygen accepts them and an ionic bond is established resulting in the formation of anew compound namely calcium oxide.
Answer:
Cause/ effect relationship.
Explanation:
because the force is the cause of energy that is present and velocity is the effect (speed) that is present.
