When two plates push against each other shear stress will happem because they move in opposite directions. In this case the force of the stress pushes some of the crust in different directions. When this happens, a large part of the crust can break off, which makes the plate size smaller.

Explain why you get a basic solution when you dissolve NaF in water.

SashulF [63]

Answer:

That's because in water NaF will dissolve to produce Na+,the conjugate base of a strong acid which will not react with water.however F- will behave like a bronsted base, and accept a proton from water.this is called hydrolysis reaction, because a molecule of water is broken up.

a conjugate base is what I leftover after an acid loses a hydrogen ion.

Lana71 [14]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

When two or more different elements combines, a compound is formed. For instance, if carbon and oxygen combines, carbondioxide is formed according to the equation;

$C+O_2\rightarrow CO_2$

From the reaction, carbon and oxygen are the elements while carbondioxide is the compound. Hence we can conclude that a pure substance formed when two or more different elements combine called compound.
