Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of sodium is 11 and its electronic configuration is 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{1}.

In order to gain stability, sodium loses one electron and hence it forms a positive ion (Na^{+}).

Thus, we can conclude that when sodium combines with chlorine, it has a net charge of +1 because sodium loses a negative electron when forming chemical bonds.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Heat

Explanation:

Temperature is the average thermal energy (or heat) in a substance. Sound isn't really related, thermometers measure temperature, and chemical reactions can produce heat, but none of those are measured by temperature.

Which statements indicate what the fossil record suggests about evolution on Earth? Check all that apply.
Gennadij [26K]

The following are the statements, which indicates that the fossil record suggests about evolution on Earth:  

1. Humans have only recently existed on Earth.  

2. The organisms originally lived only in Earth's water.  

3. The plants did not have flowers when dinosaurs existed.  

The fossil remains have been discovered in the rocks of all the ages. The simplest organisms fossils are witnessed in the oldest rocks, and the fossils of more composite species are found in the newest rocks. This supports the theory of evolution suggested by Darwin, according to which the simple life forms slowly gets evolved into more composite ones.
