Salts and acids are examples of inorganic compounds called Electrolytes which dissociate in water to release ions.

<h2>Further Explanation: </h2><h3>A compound  </h3>
  • A compound is a substances that contains two or more different atoms that are bonded together.
  • When the atoms are similar the substance is known as a molecule, therefore not all molecules are compounds.
<h3>Electrolytes</h3>
  • Electrolytes are substances that are either in molten or aqueous form that discharged by passing electric current through them. They dissociate into ions while in molten or solution form.
  • These compounds are made of mobile ions which are responsible for the conduction of electricity.
  • Examples includes, soluble salts, ionic compounds, acids, and bases etc.
<h3>Salt </h3>
  • A salt is a substance that is formed when an acid reacts with a base or when the hydrogen part of acid is replaced by metal ion or an ammonium ion.
<h3>Ionic compounds </h3>
  • Ionic compounds are compounds that contain ions. They are as a result of ionic bonding between a metal atom and a non-metal atom.
  • During ionic bonding formation the metallic atom looses electrons while the non-metallic atom gains electrons.
  • Ionic compounds contains both negatively charged ion(anion) and positively charged ion (cation).
  • Examples of ionic compounds, NaCl, LiF, KCl, Cs2S, KBr, PbS etc.
  • Most ionic compounds may act as electrolytes.

Keywords: Compound, electrolytes, salts, ionic compounds, soluble acids, bases.

Answer:

Salts and acids are examples of inorganic compounds called <u><em>electrolytes</em></u>.

Explanation:

Electrolytes are the substances which dissociates into ions when dissolved in water and due to this they are able to conduct electric current through them.  These compounds in solid form does not conduct electricity due to the absence of free ions.

For example: Sodium chloride , sulfuric acid etc.

NaCl(aq)\righarrow = Na^+(aq)+Cl^-(aq)

H_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow SO_4^{2-}(aq)+2H^+(aq)

Which statements correctly describe the decay rates of radioactive isotopes?
storchak [24]

Answer: b} The exact time when an individual atom will decay can be accurately predicted.

c} After each half-life, the amount of radioactive material is reduced by half.

Explanation:

All radioactive decay  follows first order kinetics.

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = time taken for decay process

a = initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process

Expression for calculating half life, which is the time taken by the half of the reactants to decompose is:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

SeCl₆ < SeF₂ < SeO₂

Explanation:

(A) SeO₂

The central atom has 2 bond pairs and 1 lone pair. The molecule is bent shaped which has an angle of 120°.

(B) SeCl₆

The central atom has 6 bond pairs and 0 lone pair. The geometry is octahedral in which the equatorial bonds has an angle of 90° and axial bond has an angle of 90°.

(C) SeF₂

The central atom has 2 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs. The geometry is bent shape which has an angle of approximately 105.5°.

The order is:

<u>SeCl₆ < SeF₂ < SeO₂</u>
