Answer: The correct option is D.

Explanation: Table salt has a chemical formula NaCl.

This compound is an ionic compound.

Ionic compound is defined as the compound formed when there is a complete transfer of electron from one element to another.

NaCl consists of two elements, Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl)

Sodium has an atomic number of 11 and its electronic configuration is $[Ne]3s^1$ . This element has 1 extra electron, so in order to have stable electronic configuration, this element will release 1 electron and forms a cation.

Chlorine has an atomic number of 17 and its electronic configuration is $[Ne]3s^23p^5$ . Chlorine element requires 1 electron to have stable electronic configuration. Hence, this element will accept 1 electron and will form an anion.

When these two element combine together, Sodium will give away 1 electron to chlorine and therefore, chlorine becomes anion.

Hence, the correct option is C.

Why does your finger seem to move? How is this related to the parallax of stars?

sleet_krkn [62]

<span>he easiest way to see parallax is to hold out your finger vertically in front of a background object, a door or wall for example. Shut your right eye and note where on the background object the image of your finger appears. Now open your right eye and close the left one without moving your finger. The image of your finger should appear to have jumped to a different spot on the background wall. It is possible to tell how far away your finger is from your eyes just by measuring the distance between your eyes and the distance that the image appeared to move in degrees of arc. </span>

Which cellular change in an organism could be inherited be the next generation?

ikadub [295]

In order for a cellular change to be inherited, this change must be present in the male gamete, or sperm or present in the female gamete, the egg or ovum. This is due to the fact that a baby is created from the fusion of an egg and sperm. Therefore, choice 2, the deletion of a single DNA base in a sperm cell of a trout, is the correct answer.

If we think about it logically, cellular changes in other parts of body should not affect the next generation. For example, if mom has skin cancer, it does not mean at all that the baby will have it as well.

sergij07 [2.7K]

More water is not always better. For example; cacti only need water about every two weeks, the same with succulent plants. Not every plant needs to be watered every day, or the plant may be overwatered and die.
