Answer:

The attractive force is negative and MgO has a higher melting point

Explanation:

From Couloumb's law:

Energy of interaction, E = k \frac{q1q2}{r}

where q1 and q2 are the charges of the ions, k is Coulomb's constant and r is the distance between both ions, i.e the atomic radii of the ions.

If you look at Coulomb's law, you note that in the force is negative (because q1 is negative while q2 is positive).

In addition to that, the compounds MgO and NaF have similar combined ionic radii, then we can determine the melting point trend from the amount of energy gotten

The melting point of ionic compounds is determined by 1. charge on the ions 2. size of ions. while NaF has smaller charges (+1 and -1), MgO (+2 and -2) has larger charges and greater combined atomic radii. This implies that the compound with greater force would have a higher melting point.

Hence the compound MgO would have a higher melting point than NaF.

Explain the two main physical/ chemical processes by which carbon dioxide molecules in the air move to the cells of phytoplankto
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The two physical/ chemical processes by which carbon dioxide molecules in the air move to the cells of phytoplankton in the ocean are the photosynthesis and the biological carbon pump.

Explanation:

The biological carbon pump is the action of organisms to move carbon during chemical and biological interactions from the surface into the deeper ocean and then to rocks.  

The biological carbon pump its composed of three processes, which are the photosynthesis, the gravity and the food web interactions. They are all part of the carbon cycle.

During the photosynthesis, the phytoplankton take up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere that is dissolved in the surface water, and receives the energy from the sun to turn it into glucose and oxygen.  

In the cells of the phytoplankton, glucose is transformed into other organic compounds. This material has organic carbon that can end in two ways: it is incorporated to marine organisms during the food web interactions or it can be remineralised forming calcium carbonate in the ocean surface.  

The remineralization can be done by many organisms to build its shells or skeletons, or by chemical processes that happen in the ocean. This process allows more carbon dioxide to enter the water and to continue the cycle.

So when marine organisms die, all its organic components sink into the bottom of the ocean and carbon-rich sediments are form. And after millions of years, these sediments turn into rocks after going through chemical and physical phenomenon.

Write the skeleton equation for the reaction which occurs when a solution of silver nitrate reacts with copper metal to produce
Kitty [74]

Answer:

This reaction can be expressed as a word equation: copper + silver nitrate → silver + copper nitrate You can replace each part of the word equation by a chemical formula: Cu + AgNO3 → Ag + Cu(NO3)2 Looking at both sides of this equation, you can see that it is not balanced.

Which of the following subatomic particles has the LEAST mass?
ivanzaharov [21]
An electron this is the smallest particle and it takes up the least mass because its negative charge makes it harder for electrons to have a place in an atom.
