Answer : The correct formula unit of an ionic compound is Ca(OH)2

Explanation :

An ionic compound is formed when a metal atom donates one or more electrons to a non metal atom.

During this process, metal gains a positive charge and a nonmetal gets a negative charge.

In an ionic compound, these charges on the ions are balanced so that the overall compound is neutral.

Let us check which of the given compounds have a neutral charge.

1) Al2F3 : Charge on Al is +3 and that on F is -1.

The total charge on 2 Al is 2x3 = +6.

The total charge on 3 F atoms is 3x(-1) = -3

The overall charge on the compound is +6-3 = +3.

That means the given formula unit is not correct.

2) Ca2O : Charge on Ca is +2 and that on O is -2

Total charge on Ca is 2x2 = +4

The overall charge is +4-2 = +2

Therefore the given formula unit is not correct.

3) Ca(OH)2 : The charge on Ca ion is +2 and that on OH is -1.

The total charge on 2 OH ions is 2x(-1) = -2

The overall charge is +2-2 = 0

This gives a neutral compound.

Therefore the given formula unit is correct.

The base that will NOT combine with 2-deoxyribose to form a nucleic acid is _____.
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Uracil

Explanation:

The base that will NOT combine with 2-deoxyribose to form a nucleic acid is Uracil.

2-deoxyribose is a pentose sugar found in the DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid). It is devoid of oxygen in its 2' position. The bases found in DNA are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine. Adenine, Guanine, and Cytosine are also found in RNA (Ribonucleic acid). Thymine is not present in RNA, it is only found in DNA. The base found in RNA is Uracil which in turn is not present in DNA. The five carbon sugar present in RNA is ribose which combines with Uracil.
