The correct answer is A. True.

Sodium chloride does not have an overall charge, as it formed of charged ions Na⁺ and Cl⁻. In the formation of sodium chloride, the sodium loses its outer-shell electron to form the sodium ion or Na⁺. Chlorine takes on sodium's electron to become the ion or Cl⁻. The electrostatic attraction between the positive and negative ions holds the salt crystal together. Equal  number  of positive  and negative  charges  form neutral  NaCl.

  When  sodium chloride  is formed  from a positively charged sodium atom and a  negatively  charged  chlorine  atom,  the charge  on the salt becomes  neutral   is true

 Explanation

Sodium  ion ( positively  charged)  combine with chloride  ion ( negatively charged)  to  sodium chloride which  is neural  according  to equation below.

Na⁺   +  Cl⁻    →  NaCl  (<em>neutral</em>)

Equal  number  of positive  and negative  charges  add up to make neutral  Nacl therefore the statement above is true.

Why can't astronomers measure the parallax of a star that is a million light years away?
motikmotik

One of the methods used widely to calculate the distance of nearby or closer objects in astronomy is Parallax. The distance of the stars are usually expressed in light years but the unit of distance is parsec or parallax second.  

                                        1 Parsec = 3.26 light years

Astronomers are not able to measure the parallax of a star that is a million light years away because the star is too far and the distance with which the start appears to move is too less to be calculated accurately.

How does the structure of abone make it strong yet lightweight?
rusak2 [61]

Answer:the component materials and their arrangement

Explanation:

Bone are important for movement in animals.bones is made up of 15% water,30% collagen fibres and 55% mineral salts..bone cells are widely separated. The Collagen makes bones soft and flexible. Mineral salts makes it fragile and strong.

The osteogenic cells builds the bones and the osteoclasts breaks down older bone tissue, in order to keep the body strong.

Spongy bones contains tiny spicules that helps in strength.

It also reduces the weight of the bones .

The cells of Compact bones are arranged in the direction of stress to keep the bone strong.

They are constantly changing throughout life
