The second answer is not a characteristic because compounds don’t vary from sample to sample. For example NaCl (table salt) is indistinguishable from sample to sample.
The graphics in the attachment is part of the question, which was incomplete.
Answer: Fr = 102N and angle of approximately 11°.
Explanation: From the attachment, it is observed that from the three forces acting on M, two are perpendicular. So to find them, we have to show their x- and y- axis components. From the graph:
Fx = 70+40-10 = 100
Fy = 40-20 = 20
Now, as the forces form a triangle, the totalforce is:
Fr = 
Fr = 
Fr = ≈ 102N
To determine the angle requested, we use:
arctg H = 
arctg H = 
H = tg 0.2 ≈ 11°.
<span>The alkali metal atom forms a +1 ion, while the alkaline earth metal atom forms a +2 ion. hope this helps</span>
