Answer:

A. Pyrite is an ore of gold and is used in jewelry making.

Explanation:

Pyrite is a combination of iron and sulfur, chemically knwon as iron sulfide, it´s called the fool´s gold because it has a golden colour and it´s metallic state often can be preceived as gold, but it is not used in jewelry because could be poisonous to the people wearing it, it´s main use is production of sulfur or sulfiric acid.

Which ionic compound is soluble in water pbbr2, fe (oh)3,ca(no3)2, baso4?
Anton [14]

Ionic compound are those compounds which are made up of ions. The ion which has tendency to loose electrons is said to cation (positive charge) such as metals whereas ion which has tendency to gain electrons is said to anion (negative charge) such as non-metals.

Calcium nitrate is quite soluble in water due to very low lattice enthalpy in comparison to other ionic compound. With lower lattice enthalpy, less energy is required for the dissociation of calcium nitrate and it get dissolves in water than other three compounds. Moreover, hydration energy is higher for calcium nitrate which make its solubility higher in water than other ionic species.

Thus, Ca(NO_{3})_{2} is correct answer.

What is the primary reason why elements form compounds?​
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

To gain stability

Explanation:

If the outermost shell is not completely filled with electrons, the element has one of the three options: gaining electrons, losing electrons or sharing electrons. By gaining or losing electrons, ionic compounds are produced. Sharing of electrons results in the formation of covalent compounds.
