Answer:

(a) Covalent bond. NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride)

(b) Ionic bond. LiCl (lithium chloride)

Explanation:

<em>(a) N and F</em>

Nitrogen and fluorine are nonmetals, with high and similar electronegativities, so they form covalent bonds, in which they share pairs of electrons to complete the octet in their valence shell. N has 5 valence electrons so it will form 3 covalent bonds while each Cl has 7 valence electrons so it will form 1 covalent bond. As a result, the empirical formula is NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride).

<em>(b) Li and Cl</em>

Lithium is a metal and Chlorine is a nonmetal. They have different electronegativities so they form an ionic bond, in which Cl gains 1 electron (7 valence e⁻) and Li loses 1 electron (1 valence e⁻). The empirical formula is LiCl (lithium chloride).

Here is a picture of a hot spring in yellow stone national park match each kind a scientist with an aspect of the hot Spring she
Lady bird [3.3K]

Each kind of scientist is matched with an aspect of the hot spring he or she is most likely to study as follows:

  1. <u>Geologist:</u> rocks around and under the hot spring.
  2. <u>Ecologist:</u> relationships between organisms and the hot spring.
  3. <u>Sociologist:</u> human behavior around the hot spring.
  4. <u>Meteorologist:</u> atmosphere and weather around the hot spring.

<h3>What is a scientific observation?</h3>

A scientific observation can be defined as an active acquisition of knowledge (information) through one of the sense organs, while using scientific tools and instruments.

<h3>The types of scientific observation.</h3>

In Science, there are two main types of scientific observation and these include the following:

  • Qualitative observation
  • Quantitative observation

<h3>What is a hot spring?</h3>

A hot spring can be defined as a natural or an artificially-induced phenomena in which very hot groundwater flows out from the Earth's crust due to the heat present in the geosphere.  

In this exercise, you're required to match each kind of scientist with an aspect of the hot spring he or she is most likely to study as follows:

  1. <u>Geologist:</u> rocks around and under the hot spring.
  2. <u>Ecologist:</u> relationships between organisms and the hot spring.
  3. <u>Sociologist:</u> human behavior around the hot spring.
  4. <u>Meteorologist:</u> atmosphere and weather around the hot spring.
