Answer:

They are salts, ionic compounds

Explanation:

To know if they are covalent or ionic we need to check their difference in electronegativity. As an example mgcl2, mg has electronegativity of 1.2 and cl 3 so 3-1.2=1.8 which is bigger than 1.7 means it's ionic therefore they are salts

They are salts and are all ionic compounds because in the formula one of the element has to have a positive and the other a negative charge.

Describe at least two advantages and two disadvantages of using wind as a source of energy.
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Wind is a renewable source of energy widely used as a source of energy in order to minimize the pollution that results from some other sources of non renewable energy.

Wind energy has the advantage of;

1)  being a renewable source of energy hence it can be reused and it is not easily depleted.

2)  it does not lead to any form of environmental pollution.

On the other hand, a lot of space is required in order to mount as many windmills as possible in order to generate enough electricity to serve a large area. Thus, the disadvantages of wind energy are;

1) A large expanse of land is required in order to generate a meaningful quantity of energy.

2) The occurrence of wind is inconsistent hence generation of energy is not steady.

Why do marshmallows puff up when microwaved more than any other food?
Kryger [21]
Marshmallows contain mostly  water and sugar. When microwaved, the water heats up, so do the air bubbles in the marshmallow, and they thus take more space. Since sugar tends to soften when heated up, the marshmallow's structure will puff up as the air bubbles expand.

This formula equation is unbalanced. P4(s) + Cl2(g) mc030-1.jpg PCl3(l) Which coefficient should be placed in front of PCl3 to b
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
To balance a chemical reaction, we need to remember that the number of each atom in the reactant and the product side of the equation should be equal. So, from the reaction <span>P4(s) + Cl2(g) = PCl3(l), there are 4 P atoms in the reactant, the P atoms in the prodcut side should be 4 as well. We balance as follows:

</span> P4(s) + 6Cl2(g) = 4PCl3(l)
<span>
Therefore, the coefficient of the PCl3 should be 4.
