The correct answer is A. Mike joined a group that studies phrenology.

Explanation:

In science, a "pseudoscience" refers to practices and believes that have been claimed scientific but have not been proved or do not follow the scientific method to be considered as real science. Because of this pseudosciences are mainly considered as invalid and are not officially recognized by science. An example of this is astrology as this states the movements of celestial bodies influence human and life and therefore can be used for prediction. Considering this, the statement that is an example of pseudoscience is "Mike joined a group that studies phrenology" because phrenology is a set of beliefs and practices that focus on  measuring the skull to determine mental abilities, issues, etc but this was never proved through the scientific method and therefore nowadays is just a pseudoscience.

Answer:

1. Ionic bond

2. High melting point and high boiling point for ionic bonds while covalent bonds have low melting and boiling point.

3. The similarity is that ionic and covalent bonding lead to the creation of stable molecules.

4. 4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3

5. It uses the process of fission.

6. Fission involves the splitting of radioactive elements into smaller particles/compounds while Fusion involves combining of two or more atomic nuclei to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles.

7. Nuclear power plants produce little to no greenhouse gas.

Nuclear power plants produce a large amount of energy for a small mass of fuel.

Nuclear is less expensive.

What is the mass of 1.7 × 1023 atoms of zinc
fiasKO [112]

We are given with a compound, Zinc (Zn) having a 1.7 x 10 ^23 atoms. We are tasked to solve for it's corresponding mass in g. We need to find first the molecular weight of Zinc, that is

Zn= 65.38 g/mol

Not that 1 mol=6.022x10^{23} atoms, hence,

1.7 x 10 ^23 atoms x 1 mol/6.022x10^{23} atoms x65.38 g/ 1mol

=18.456 g of Zn

 

Therefore, the mass of Zinc 18.456 g

3. Gasoline, coal, batteries, and logs all have chemical energy. When they burn that chemical energy will be transformed into en
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Thermal energy

Explanation:

When gasoline, coal, batteries and logs are all burn they transform chemical energy to thermal energy.

The chemical energy is the energy held between chemical chains and bonds within an atom.

  • When they combust, they release thermal energy
  • Chemical energy is a potential energy.
  • The thermal energy is a kinetic energy
  • It increase the average motion of the particles in the medium
  • The breaking bond when produces heat which is a form of thermal energy.
