Answer : The correct option is, (A) $NO_2$

Explanation :

Ionic bond : It is defined as the bond which is formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.

The ionic compound is formed between a metal and a non-metal.

Covalent bond : It is defined as the bond that is formed when sharing of electrons takes place between the atoms.

The covalent compound is formed between two non-metals.

(a) $NO_2$

It is a covalent compound in which nitrogen and oxygen are non-metals. The $NO_2$ is formed when one nitrogen atom share their electrons with two oxygen atoms.

(b) $LiCl$

It is an ionic compound in which lithium is a metal and chlorine is a non-metal. The $LiCl$ is formed by the complete transfer of electrons.

(c) $AlCl_3$

It is an ionic compound in which aluminum is a metal and chlorine is a non-metal. The $AlCl_3$ is formed by the complete transfer of electrons.

(d) $Na_2S$

It is an ionic compound in which sodium is a metal and sulfur is a non-metal. The $Na_2S$ is formed by the complete transfer of electrons.

Hence, the covalent compound is $NO_2$

The red balls represent _____ and have a positive charge.

AysviL [449]

The answer is protons. Neutrons have no charge and electrons have a negative charge so the positive charge must be protons.

Describe what happens to particles as they go through a phase change and energy is added

S_A_V [24]

Solid-When a solid is heated the particles gain energy and start to vibrate faster and faster. Initially the structure is gradually weakened which has the effect of expanding the solid. Further heating provides more energy until the particles start to break free of the structure. Although the particles are still loosely connected they are able to move around. At this point the solid is melting to form a liquid.

Liquid-As the liquid gets warmer more particles have sufficient energy to escape from the liquid. Eventually even particles in the middle of the liquid form bubbles of gas in the liquid. At this point the liquid is boiling and turning to gas. The particles in the gas are the same as they were in the liquid they just have more energy. At normal atmospheric pressure all materials have a specific temperature at which boiling occurs. This is called the "boiling point" or boiling temperature.

Description of Phase Change Term for Phase Change Heat Movement During Phase Change

Solid to liquid Melting Heat goes into the solid as it melts.

Liquid to solid Freezing Heat leaves the liquid as it freezes.

Liquid to gas Vaporization, which includes boiling and evaporation. Heat goes into the liquid as it vaporizes.

Gas to liquid Condensation Heat leaves the gas as it condenses.

Solid to gas Sublimation Heat goes into the solid as it sublimates.
