An ionic compound consists of a metal AND a non-metal.
<em>Option A:</em>
Oxygen and fluorine are non-metals.
<em>Option B:</em>
Sodium and aluminium are non-metals.
<em>Option C:</em>
Calcium is a metal and chlorine is a non-metal.
<em>Option D:</em>
Nitrogen and sulfur are non-metals.
Thus, the answer is C.
Answer:
B. Intermolecular forces are hard to overcome
Explanation:
A high boiling point indicates greater inter molecular forces between the molecules of the substance. Inter molecular forces is the force of attraction between the molecules of the substance, which has to be overcome or broken before the substance boils. Example, when water boils, the water molecule (H₂O) will be broken into hydrogen molecule and oxygen molecule.
Therefore, a high boiling point temperature indicates that intermolecular forces of the substance are hard to overcome.
B. Intermolecular forces are hard to overcome
Vibration?
I’m not super sure.
Out of the choices given, the one that describes a substance whose atoms all have the same number of protons are an element. The correct answer will be B.
