Which of the following best describes a pair of elements that will form an ionic bond?

An ionic bond forms between a metal and a nonmetal. So, since C and O are nonmetals it cannot be that one. Also, P and Cl are also both nonmetals so it cannot be that one either. That leaves Li and O and Ca and Br. In an ionic bond metals loose electrons and nonmetals gain electrons. Therefore it cannot be Li and O because it states that oxygen, the nonmetal, looses electrons and lithium, the metal, looses electrons. So, the answer has to be Ca and Br because Ca, the metal, looses electrons and Br, the nonmetal, gains electrons.

Answer:c

Explanation:

I think because ca^+2

It’s loses the ion and if u look back u would see that a cation is a t charge but it’s not Goan that electron it’s losing that electron

Which is a saturated solution?

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

C）52g KCl in 100g water at 80°C

Explanation:

A saturated solution is one that contains as much solute as it can dissolve in the presence of excess solute at that particular temperature.

A solutibility curve is a graph that shows the variability with temperature of the solubility of a solute in a given solvent. A solutibility curve can provide information of whether a solution formed frommthe solute and solvent are saturated or not at a given temperature.

From the solubility curve in the attachment below:

A) A saturated solution of NH₄Cl will contain about 52 g solute per 100 g sat 50 °C. Thus, a solution of 40 g NH₄Cl in 100 g water at 50 °C is an unsaturated solution.

B) A saturated solution of SO₂ at 10°C will contain about 70 g of solute in 100 g of water. Thus a solution of 2g SO₂ in 100g water at 10°C is an unsaturated solution.

C) A saturated solution of KCl at 80 °C will contain about 52 g of solute in 100 g of water. Thus, a solution of 52g KCl in 100g water at 80°C is a saturated solution.

D) A saturated solution of Kl at 20 °C will contain about 145 g of solute in 100 g of water. Thus, a solution of 120g KI in 100g water at 20°C is an unsaturated solution.

What is a planned goal of the Exploration Mission 2?

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

C. to explore the composition of Mars

Explanation:

Initially, in 2019, an unmanned mission is planned to orbit the moon. The spacecraft would flyby the moon. In 2020's, the Exploration Mission 2 would be a manned mission on the same path around the moon. This would be the base for future goal of collecting samples from mars. In later of 2020's unmanned spacecraft would be sent to mars and a robot would collect the samples from the Martian surface. In 2030's, a crew would be sent to Mars.
