Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An ion is defined as a specie which is formed when a neutral atoms tends to gain or lose an electron.

When a neutral atom gain an electron then it forms a negative ion whereas when a neutral atom tends to lose an electron then it forms a positive ion.

For example, a neutral fluorine atom on gaining an electron will form F^{-} ion. And, a sodium atom on losing an electron forms Na^{+} ion.

When a group of atoms form ions then it tends to form polyatomic ions.

Thus, we can conclude that group of atoms that gains or loses electrons is called a polyatomic ion.

What is the correct term for living the most sustainable life you can within your current circumstances?
tekilochka [14]

Answer:    Sustainable living

Explanation: It is a lifestyle by which an individual uses natural resources only as much as is necessary, which means in limited quantities, and thus reduces the general enormous exploitation of these resources. In this way, the needs of the individual are met and resources are put to use for generations to come. It also refers to personal resources as well as Earth resources in general.

It is obvious from today's point of view that if food was produced only as much as needed, it would mean not throwing away food, everyone, both those who could otherwise afford food and those who are now starving, would be fed up.

With the reduction of production not only of food but also of other necessities, that is, with production to meet the needs and not beyond, there would be less pollution and less emission of harmful hags and greenhouse effect.

Which experimental setup would let a student investigate the connection between kinetic energy and temperature? (1 point) placin
Maslowich

Answer:

The correct option is;

Placing one drop of food coloring in a cup with 60 ml of water at 10°, placing one drop of food coloring in a second cup with 60 ml of water at 40°C

Explanation:

The experimental setup that would allow the student investigate the connection between kinetic energy and temperature should be made up of the following characteristics

1) The constant terms for the experiment should be defined, which in this case are

a) The volume of the water which is 60 ml in both subjects of the experiment

2) The definition of the variable that produces the effect that is being monitored, which is the use of the different temperatures in the two experimental subjects

3)The environmental limits of the experiment, which is the water and the food coloring used
