Answer:

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are also known as electrovalent bonds.

For ionic bonds to form, there is transfer of valence electrons from the metal to the non-metal. Metals are electropositive and would easily allow electrons to leave.

The goal of bonding is to achieve the octet configuration. An atom can lose or gain electrons to achieve this.

For example, to form NaCl, Na would loose its 1 valence electron. Cl would gain the Valence electron and complete it's octet with it.

This transfer of electron creates the ionic bond.

The metal which is less electronegative becomes positively charged. The non metal being more electronegative would become negatively charged.

Ionic compounds are polar compounds.

lesya [120]

From Carnot's theorem, for any engine working between these two temperatures:

efficiency <= (1-tc/th) * 100

Given: tc = 300k (from question assuming it is not 5300 as it seems)

For a, th = 900k, efficiency = (1-300/900) = 70%

For b, th = 500k, efficiency = (1-300/500) = 40%

For c, th = 375k, efficiency = (1-300/375) = 20%

Hence in case of a and b, efficiency claimed is lesser than efficiency calculated, which is valid case and in case of c, however efficiency claimed is greater which is invalid.

Answer:

Gate control theory of pain

Explanation:

The gate control theory of pain sates that non-painful input closes the nerve gates to painful input, which prevents pain sensation from traveling to the central nervous system (brain).

Therefore, the idea that large fibers in the sensory nerves can prevent impulses from reaching the brain and thus prevent the sensation of pain is part of the gate control theory of pain.
