Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
An intensive property is a bulk property, meaning that it is a local physical property of a system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system. Examples of intensive properties include temperature, T; refractive index, n; density, ρ; and hardness of an object,specific heat, η.
Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the composition of matter. Physical properties are used to observe and describe matter. Physical properties include: appearance, texture, color, odor, melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, polarity, specific heat and many others.
Answer:
The atomic mass is the average number of protons and neutrons for all natural isotopes of an element. It is a decimal number.
Explanation:
Atomic Mass and Mass Number Example
:
Hydrogen has three natural isotopes: 1H, 2H, and 3H. Each isotope has a different mass number.
1H has 1 proton. Its mass number is 1. 2H has 1 proton and 1 neutron. Its mass number is 2. 3H has 1 proton and 2 neutrons. Its mass number is 3. 99.98% of all hydrogen is 1H 0.018% of all hydrogen is 2H 0.002% of all hydrogen is 3H Together, they give a value of atomic mass of hydrogen equal to 1.0079 g/mol.

Explanation:
Polymerization is the process whereby two or more monomers link together to form a compound of high molecular mass called a polymer.
There are two kinds of polymers;
-Addition polymers
-Condensation polymers
Addition polymers are formed by the joining of two or more monomers to form a polymer without the elimination of a small molecule.
Condensation polymers are formed by the joining of two or more molecules to form polymers with the elimination of a small molecule.
The main difference between polyethene and polyester is that polyethene is an addition polymer while polyester is a condensation polymer.
In polyethene, ethene molecules are joined together having the repeating unit as [-CH2-CH2-]n.
In polyester, the polymer arises from the reaction of carboxylic acid and an alcohol and loss of water molecules.
Answer: Electrovalent bonds are produced when electrons are transferred from atoms of one element to atoms of another element, producing positive and negative ions. The bond which is formed by the transfer of electrons between the atoms is called electrovalent bond or ionic bond. Electrovalent bonds are only formed between metals and non-metals. Electrovalent bonds are not formed between two non-metals.
In simple words electrovalent bond involves the transference of a certain number of electrons to another dissimilar atom which has a tendency to gain electrons so that both acquire stable inert gas configurations. The electrostatic attraction always tends to decrease the potential energy. Hence, the potential energy of the system is much less than it was before the formation of an ionic bond.
Explanation: An Ionic bond is the bond formed by the complete transfer of valence electron to attain stability.
This type of bonding leads to the formation of two oppositely charged ions – positive ion known as cations and negative ions are known as anions.
The presence of two oppositely charged ions results in a strong attractive force between them. This force is an ionic or electrovalent bond.
Ionic bonds form between atoms with large differences in electronegativity, whereas covalent bonds formed between atoms with smaller differences in electronegativity.
The compound formed by the electrostatic attraction of positive and negative ions is called an ionic compound.
