The correct explanation is D.

Sodium being an Alkali Metal has a high tendency to lose its only valence electron to attain Neon configuration. In this process, it becomes positively charged, and hence becomes a Cation.

Chlorine is a non-metal that is one electron short of attaining Argon configuration, and hence readily takes the available electrons to become a negatively charged Anion. Since these two are oppositely charged, by the laws of electrostatics, they attract each other forming an Ionic Bond that requires considerable energy to break.

What happens when the temperature of an object decreases?
NNADVOKAT [17]
We know, Kinetic energy (movement of the particle) is directly proportional to the temperature of the object. When you decrease the temperature, it's movement will also decrease and object particles move slower.

In short, Your Answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!

Copper oxide, CuO, reacts with hydrochloric acid, HCI, to produce copper chloride, CuCL2 and water
spayn [35]

Explanation:

El óxido de cobre (II), también llamado antiguamente óxido cúprico ({\displaystyle {\ce {CuO}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO}}}), es el óxido de cobre con mayor número de oxidación. Como mineral se conoce como tenorita.

{\displaystyle {\ce {2Cu + O2 = 2CuO}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {2Cu + O2 = 2CuO}}}

Aquí, se forma junto con algo de óxido de cobre (I) como un producto lateral, por lo que es mejor prepararlo por calentamiento de nitrato de cobre (II), hidróxido de cobre (II) o carbonato de cobre (II):

{\displaystyle {\ce {2 Cu(NO3)2 = 2 CuO + 4 NO2+ O2}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {2 Cu(NO3)2 = 2 CuO + 4 NO2+ O2}}}

{\displaystyle {\ce {Cu(OH)2 (s) = CuO (s) + H2O (l)}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {Cu(OH)2 (s) = CuO (s) + H2O (l)}}}

{\displaystyle {\ce {CuCO3 = CuO + CO2}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuCO3 = CuO + CO2}}}

El óxido de cobre (II) es un óxido básico, así se disuelve en ácidos minerales tales como el ácido clorhídrico, el ácido sulfúrico o el ácido nítrico para dar las correspondientes sales de cobre (II):

{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + 2 HNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + H2O}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + 2 HNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + H2O}}}

{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + 2 HCl =CuCl2 + H2O}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + 2 HCl =CuCl2 + H2O}}}

{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + H2SO4 = CuSO4 + H2O}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + H2SO4 = CuSO4 + H2O}}}

Reacciona con álcali concentrado para formar las correspondientes sales cuprato.

{\displaystyle {\ce {3 XOH + CuO + H2O = X3[Cu(OH)6]}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {3 XOH + CuO + H2O = X3[Cu(OH)6]}}}

Puede reducirse a cobre metálico usando hidrógeno o monóxido de carbono:

{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + H2 = Cu + H2O}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + H2 = Cu + H2O}}}

{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + CO = Cu + CO2}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + CO = Cu + CO2}}}
