A polymer is a single chained molecule that is  made up of repeating subunits called monomers. In contrast, a composite is a material that is made from combining two or more molecules with similar physical or chemical properties to produce a hybrid molecule.

Plywood- it is a composite made from sticking together thin strips of wood with glue to ake stable sheets.

Plastic- a polymer made of repeating units called monomers of some kind of organic compounds.

concrete- is a composite made from mixing water cement and rocks. The mixture is not repeating and can branch in different ways which discounts it from being a polymer.

fiberglass- is a composite made that has no repeating units but made from plastic and glass fiber.

paper- is a polymer made of a repeating units of a specific monomer.

nylon- is a polymer manufactured by reacting repeating units of monomers.

Plywood: Composite
Plastic: Polymer
Concrete: Composite
Fiber: Could be either or depending on the type of Fiber
Glass: Composite, yet made of polymers
Paper: Could be either. For example composite would be paper mache or recycled paper however plain paper would be polymer.
Nylon: Polymer

What is the name of the covalent compound CCl4?
zubka84 [21]
Think, first, about the type of molecule or formula unit you have (covalent or ionic). In this case, it is a covalent molecule. You start with the carbon. You could say monocarbon, but if it is just said to be carbon it is assumed to be one. Then you take the prefix for 4 and tack it on to the beginning of the chlorine. For this, the name is carbon tetrachloride.

What type of solid has the highest melting point?
dem82 [27]

Answer: B -Network solids

Ionic solids are held by positive and negative charged ions bonded by electrostatic forces. The electrostatic force is much stronger than dipole–dipole interactions, London dispersion forces, hydrogen bonding.

Molecular solids are held by dipole–dipole interactions, London dispersion forces, or hydrogen bonds. Benzene is an example of this. These inter-molecular force are much weaker than electrostatic force.

The metallic bonds are much weaker than electrostatic force. Similarly, in non-metallic solids the atoms are held by covalent bonds. These covalent bonds are weaker than the electrostatic force.

Thus we can conclude that electrostatic force is the strongest when compared to  dipole–dipole interactions, London dispersion forces, hydrogen bonding,covalent and metallic bonds. Thus ionic solids will have the highest melting point as more energy is required to break the ionic bonds as this is the strongest bond compared to the other bonds.

An ion with an atomic number of 34 and 36 electrons has a __________ charge
Solnce55 [7]
<span>negative charge. The atomic number of 34 tells you immediately that the ion has 34 protons. Since it also has 36 electrons, it has 2 more electrons than needed to be neutral. So the ion will have a negative charge since electrons have a negative charge.</span>

How much heat energy in megajoules is neede to convert 7kilograms of ice at negative 9 degrees to water at 0 degrees celsius
den301095 [7]

Heat_1: Get the ice to 0 degrees

Convert 7 kg to grams

7 kg [1000 grams / 1 kg] = 7000 grams

Heat needed to get the the ice from - 9 to 0

deltat = 0 - -9 = 9 degrees

m = 7000 grams

c = 2.1 joules/gram

Heat_1 = m*c*deltat

Heat_1 = 7000 * 2.1 * 9

Heat_1 = 132,300 joules

Heat_2: Melt the ice.

There is no temperature change. The formula is 333 j/gram

Formula: H = mass * constant

H = 7000 g * 333 J / gram

H = 2331000 joules

Heat_3: Total amount of Joules needed.

2331000 + 132300 = 2 463 300 joules

Convert to Megajoules

2 463 300 joules * 1 megajoule / 1000000 = 2.63 megajoules.
