Answer:

Hi, the statements given in the question (a and b) are combination of right and wrong answers. But i will split the statement a and b into necessary fragments.

Carbohydrates are quick source of energy relatively. That is the only correct statement in the question.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are naturally occurring organic compounds containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen with the general formula (Cx H2y Oy) or Cx (H2O)y. They can be classified into simple sugar or complex sugar.

Simple sugars can be further divided into Monosaccharides (e.g glucose, fructose and galactose) and Disaccharides (e.g sucrose and maltose).

Complex sugar can be referred to as Polysaccharides (e.g cellulose and starch)

The statement above that says carbohydrate contains carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen polymers is not correct.

Carbohydrates are not mostly monosaccharides. They also contain Disaccharides and Polysaccharides.

They are not the only source of fuel.

Answer:

The steps 1, 2 and 3 involve absorption of energy and steps 4, 5 involve release of energy.

Explanation:

The steps involved in the formation of caesium chloride (CsCl) are:

1) Cs(s) → Cs(g)

This step involves the phase transition of caesium from the solid phase to the gaseous phase, which is known as sublimation.

Sublimation is an endothermic process as it is caused by the absorption of energy.

2) Cl₂(g) → 2Cl(g)

This step involves breaking the Cl-Cl bond and the energy required for the separation of constituting atoms is called enthalpy of atomization or bond dissociation enthalpy.

Therefore, it also an endothermic process.

3) Cs(g) → Cs⁺(g) + e⁻

The energy needed for the removal of valence electron from the valence shell of gaseous caesium atom to form a cation is known as ionization energy.

It is also an endothermic process.

4) Cl(g) + e⁻ → Cl⁻(g)

The energy released when an electron is gained by a gaseous chlorine atom to form an anion is known as electron affinity.

Therefore, it is an exothermic process.

5) Cs⁺(g) + Cl⁻(g) → CsCl(s)

This step involves the formation of solid crystal directly from the gas by the release of energy. This process is known as crystallisation.

It is an exothermic process.

What is the formula for this ionic crystal?

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Al₄O₅

Explanation:

The key at the bottom tells us the blue spheres are oxygen atoms and the red spheres are aluminum atoms. By counting, there are 4 aluminum atoms and 5 oxygen atoms. Therefore, the formula is Al₄O₅.
