Classify the statements as correct or incorrect.
alexandr402 [8]

Explanation:

  • A thermometer does measure the temperature of a body and not the heat. It is known that temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy.

Therefore, the statement a thermometer measures  the average kinetic energy  of a substance is correct.

  • Heat is a form of energy as it can make a colder substance become hot and it moves from one place to another. Thus, the statement heat is a form of energy is correct.
  • Also, heat flows from hotter substance to colder substance. Hence, the statement heat flows from a colder  substance to a hotter  substance is correct.
  • Convection is a property of fluids or gases which makes less denser (hot) material to rise and more denser (colder) material to sink.

Therefore, the statement convection occurs only  in liquids and gases is correct.

  • All substances radiate heat is an incorrect statement. For example, a thermos bottle does not radiate heat.
  • Temperature of our body is about 98.4 degree celsius and hence we can conclude that the statement our body temperature is  always equal to the  temperature around us is incorrect.

Because ions in an ionic crystal are tightly bound together, _____. it takes little energy to change them from a solid to a liqu
umka2103 [35]
Ions are particles formed when an atom of an element looses or gains electrons to attain a stable configuration.They are either positively charged (cations) or negatively charged (anions). Ionic crystals consists of ions bound together by electrostatic attraction forming a regular arrangement, geometric structure called crystal lattice. In an ionic solid the ions are held by strong attractive forces (tightly bound) and cannot move from their positions in the crystal structure and  therefore, do not conduct electricity.
