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.

What is the speed of an electromagnetic wave that has a frequency of 7.8x106<br> Hz?

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

3. x 10⁸m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Frequency of wave = 7.8 x 10⁶Hz

Unknown:

Speed of the wave = ?

Solution:

All electromagnetic radiation has a speed of 3. x 10⁸m/s in free space.

No matter the frequency and wavelength, they all have the same speed which is the same as the speed of light.

A student must make a 3 m acid solution using a 5 m acid solution. which of these is the safest way to make the solution?

weqwewe [10]

The motivation to abstain from adding water to concentrated acids is that, with a few acids, amid weakening, a considerable measure of warmth is discharged, by adding the corrosive to the water, the generally extensive measure of water will retain the warmth. On the off chance that you added water to concentrated corrosive when you initially beginning pouring the water, it could get sufficiently hot for the little measure of water that was filled all of a sudden bubble and splatter corrosive on you. Concentrated sulfuric corrosive is most famous for doing this, not all acids get that hot on weakening, but rather in the event that you make a propensity for continually adding the corrosive to water for every one of them, you can't turn out badly.

It should be monitored because the o-zone layer holds all the gasses on earth and if it continues to grow, it can have devastating effects.
