Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that metals are the species which readily lose an electron and tend to attain a positive charge.

For example, atomic number of sodium is 11 and its is an alkali metal. It electronic distribution is 2, 8, 1.

And, in order to attain stability it readily loses an electron and thus it become Na^{+} ion.

Also, it is known that species which tend to transfer or donate their valence electrons to other atoms tend to form ionic bond and the compound formed is known as ionic compound.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement metal atoms held together by ionic bonds best describes a metal solid.

Why does granite have larger crystals than obsidian?
Arlecino [84]

Answer:Granite forms as magma cools far under the earth's surface. Because it hardens deep underground it cools very slowly. This allows crystals of the four minerals to grow large enough to be easily seen by the naked eye. Look at the photo of granite above, notice the different crystals in the rock

You have used 2.4×102 L of distilled water for a dialysis patient. How many gallons of water is that?
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

63.36gallons

Explanation:

Given:

Volume of water used for dialysis = 2.4 x 10²L

Solution:

We are to convert from liters to gallons.

The conversion factor is shown below:

                1L = 0.264gallons

To convert to litre:

       since 1L = 0.264gallons

             2.4 x 10²L = (2.4 x 10² x 0.264)gallons; 63.36gallons

A basketball player jumps straight up to dunk a basketball. The basketball player's speed increases as she returns to the
katen-ka-za [31]

Options :

The upward force is greater than the downward force.

The downward force is greater than the upward force.

The rightward force is greater than the leftward force.

The leftward force is greater than the rightward force.

Answer:

The downward force is greater than the upward force.

Explanation:

When the player jumps to dunk a basket ball, it requires an upward force exerted on the person due to the push by the person to jump, after dunking the basket ball, the player attains maximum height, where his final velocity becomes zero and his direction changes (from upward to downward), at this point his velocity increases due to the additional force exerted on the player due to the Earth's Gravitational pull - which is a downward force which acts on an object).

Hence, it could be concluded that the increase in speed of the basketball player as she returns to the ground means that the downward force is greater than the upward force acting on the player.
