Answer: The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Mercury is occurs in earth crust but its mining ,combustion of fossil fuel and extraction had led to spreading of mercury pollution not only on lands but in air and water bodies also.

Mercury settled on land get washed way into water bodies which further gets introduced in life process of living beings in the water and eventually effecting the whole food chain or web.

Hence, from the the given options the correct option is (D).

Ede4ka [16]

When a capacitor has a potential difference between the plates it is said to be Constant.

Both plates have different charge which signifies that one has higher potential than the other.

Therefore, when we join them in parallel, charge will flow from higher to lower. and it continued to flow until equilibrium (the entire process took only a few seconds), indicating that the potential remains constant.

Sodium Chloride is an ionic compound. Its molar mass is 58.44g. One formula unit of NaCl consists of one____, whose chemical sym

saul85 [17]

Answer: One formula unit of NaCl consists of one cation, whose chemical symbol is $Na^+$ and one anion whose chemical symbol is $Cl^-$

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

The cation is formed by the metal sodium which forms $Na^+$ and the anion is formed by non metal chlorine which forms $Cl^-$ .

For a formula unit of sodium chloride, the charges have to be balanced , thus the valencies of ions are exchanged and the neutral compound result. Thus

$Na^+$ and $Cl^-$ combine to form neutral $NaCl$
