<span>The answer is anions. Cations are positively-charged ions (in this case K+) while anions are negatively-charged ions (in this case Cl-). The ions attract each other  through electrostatic charges and arrange themselves in an ordered fashion to form a lattice</span>

Explanation:

A bond formed due to the transfer of electrons is known as an ionic bond.

For example, KCl is an ionic compound and due to the difference in electronegativity potassium has partial positive charge and chlorine have partial negative charge.

Also, it is known that opposite charges attract each other. So, cations have positive charge and anions have negative charge.

Thus, we can conclude that the reason salt crystals, such as kcl, hold together so well is because the cations are strongly attracted to anions.

Fill in the blanks: Electrons are ___ in an ionic bond, whereas they are___ in a polar covalent bond, and ___ in a nonpolar cova
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is "transferred; unequally shared; equally shared".

Explanation:

Ionic bonding occurs when a positively charged atom (cation) interacts with a negatively charged atom (anion). In ionic bonding, the cation transfers its electron to the anion. In polar covalent bonding, electrons are unequally shared. This means that the electrons spend more time in an atom than the other, which gives partial positive and negative charges to the atoms. On the other hand in nonpolar covalent bonding, the electrons are equally shared and no charges are created.

An element has ccp packing with a face-centered cubic unit cell. its density is 8920 kg/m3 and the unit cell volume is 4.72 x 10
ziro4ka [17]
<span>63.4 g/mol
   First, let's determine how many atoms per unit cell in face-centered cubic. There is 8 corners, each of which has 1 atom, and each of those atoms is shared between 8 other unit cells. So 8*1/8 = 1 atom per unit cell. Additionally, there are 6 faces, each of which has 1 atom that's shared between 2 unit cells. So 6*1/2 = 3 atoms per unit cell. So each unit cell has the mass of 1+3 = 4 atoms. Since there is 1000 liters per cubic meter, the mass per liter is 8920 kg/1000 = 8.920 kg/L. Now the mass per unit cell is 8920 g * 4.72x10^-26 = 4.21024x10^-22 g per unit cell. The mass per atom is 4.21024x10^-22 g / 4 = 1.05256x10^-22 g/atom, Finally, multiply by Avogadro's number, getting 1.05256x10^-22 g/atom * 6.0221409x10^23 atom/mol = 63.38664625704 g/mol.
   Rounding to 3 significant digits gives 63.4 g/mol.</span>

What volume of a 6.67 M NaCl solution contains 3.12 mol NaCl? L
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

0.47dm³

Explanation

Given parameters :

Molarity of NaCl = 6.67M

Number of moles = 3.12mol

Volume of NaCl =?

Volume of NaCl = number of moles/Molarity

Volume of NaCl = 3.12mol/6.67M

Volume of NaCl = 0.47dm³

<h2>Question no 1:</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option A which is Sarah is correct because genetic diversity occurs over a long period of time.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Genetic diversity is a large number of allelic combinations for a trait in specie in a population.
  • Genetic diversity is caused due to mutations or random breeding in a specie.
  • It is good for the adaptation of specie in an environment, due to diverse in genotypes and phenotype of a trait.
<h2>Question number 2:</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option B which is the species will adapt to the changes.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Adaptation to an environment means changing your body in such a way to reduce the harmful affects of changing the environment on the body.
  • For example, the long and thick fur of sheeps in a snowy area will protect them from cold.
  • If the environment changes, the first thing a specie do is an adaptation to that change in the environment.
<h2>Question 3.</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option D which is, "The spines of a cactus protect it from animals".

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Adaptation to an environment means changing your body in such a way to reduce the harmful affects of changing the environment on the body.
  • For example, the long and thick fur of sheeps in a snowy area will protect them from cold.
  • So the plant of cactus was in danger due to animals. So the start growing spines in response to animals.
  • Hence the correct answer is option D.
<h2>Question 4.</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option B which is, "Marie's plant will lean toward the sun so that it can get the most sunlight".

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • The plant will lean towards the sun light by the mechanism of phototropism.
  • Phototropism is the mechanism of growth of the plant in a specific direction in the response of light.
  • There are two types of phototropism.
  • One is a positive phototropism in which plant grows towards the light.
  • The other is negative phototropism in which plant grows away from the light.
  • In this question,the plant will do positive tropism.
<h2>Question no. 5</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option B which is, "The dodo bird could not adapt quickly to the challenges of the environment".

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Adaptation to an environment means changing your body in such a way to reduce the harmful affects of changing the environment on the body.
  • For example, the long and thick fur of sheeps in a snowy area will protect them from cold.
  • So the dodo could not adopt to the environment. For the positive adaption of survival, they should be afraid of sailors but the would not afraid of a sailor.
  • Due to which they went extinct.
