Answer:

D. Ionic bond

Explanation:

First some definitions: ionic bonds always have metals that transfer electrons. Covalent bonds are between nonmetals that share electrons. (Sharing is caring!)

Li is a metal, so right off the bat we know this is not a covalent bond. However, it's not a metal, so we can cross off C as well. The phrase "paired bond" isn't common, so we know the answer must be D. ionic bond.

And in this bond, Li's electrons will transfer to O to make both have a full valence shell. (As opposed to covalent bonds, which share electrons, not transfer completely.)

Why do ocean waves make a good source of energy?

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Ocean waves contain tremendous energy potential. Wave power devices extract energy directly from the surface motion of ocean waves. In many areas of the world, the wind blows with enough consistency and force to provide continuous waves along the shoreline.

For the reaction below, complete the rate expression that relates the change in concentration with respect to time to the rate o

Ann [662]

Answer: Rate in terms of disappearance of $NO$ = $-\frac{1d[NO]}{2dt}$

Rate in terms of disappearance of $Cl_2$ = $-\frac{1d[Cl_2]}{1dt}$

Rate in terms of appearance of $NOCl$ = $\frac{1d[NOCl]}{2dt}$

Explanation:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

$2NO+Cl_2\rightarrow 2NOCl$

The rate in terms of reactants is given as negative as the concentration of reactants is decreasing with time whereas the rate in terms of products is given as positive as the concentration of products is increasing with time.

Rate in terms of disappearance of = $-\frac{1d[NO]}{2dt}$

Rate in terms of disappearance of = $-\frac{1d[Cl_2]}{1dt}$

Rate in terms of appearance of $NOCl$ = $+\frac{1d[NOCl]}{2dt}$
