3 0

Answer: AlCl3

Explanation:

Aluminum is in group 13 and has a valency of 3. Chlorine is in group 17 and has a valency of 1. When a compound is formed, it reflects the valencies of each of the combining elements. This can be simplified by saying that the combining elements exchange their valencies. Cl gets 3 and All gets 1 forming a compound with the formula shown above.

The radius of an indium atom is 0.163 nm. If indium crystallizes in a face-centered unit cell, what is the length of an edge of

adoni [48]

<u>Answer:</u> The edge length of the unit cell is 0.461 nm

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Atomic radius of iridium = 0.163 nm

To calculate the edge length, we use the relation between the radius and edge length for FCC lattice:

$a=2\sqrt{2}R$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$a=2\sqrt{2}\times 0.163=0.461nm$

Hence, the edge length of the unit cell is 0.461 nm

The chemical bonds of carbohydrates and lipids have high potential energy because:

gladu [14]

Answer:

c. Many of their bonds are C-C and C-H

Explanation:

The majority of bonds in carbohydrates and lipids( being an organic compound) are C-C and C-H. Like glucose, fructose or galactose ,etc.

These bonds are strong and do require a lot of energy to break. Thus, a lot of energy are required to break carbs and lipids into simpler compounds.Therefore, carbohydrates and lipids have high potential energy.

The correct answer is c.
