Chemical reaction is any process that involves rearangent of the molecular or ionic structure of substances. each chemical reaction is characterised by an activation energy required for the reaction to occur ,for the change or rearrangement to take place
now fro combustion of fuel:we provide this energy by spark (heat pulse).now what about electrolysis?just the mode and manner of providing energy is different:instead of talking of activation energy,we talk of activation overpotential,both bring conceptually the same thing.heat energy is replaced by potential difference in rough terms.

so in short ,electrolysis is a chemical change ,just the mode of activation is different that thermally initiated chemical reactions

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

               The type of bond formed in FeS would be <u>Polar Covalent Bond</u>.

Explanation:

Types of Bonds can be predicted by calculating the difference in electronegativity.

If, Electronegativity difference is,

               Less than 0.4 then it is Non Polar Covalent  Bond

               Between 0.4 and 1.7 then it is Polar Covalent  Bond

               Greater than 1.7 then it is Ionic  Bond

For Fe and S,

                   E.N of Sulfur           =   2.58

                   E.N of Iron              =   1.83

                                                  ________

                   E.N Difference            0.75          (Polar Covalent Bond)

**PLATO QUESTION, PLEASE ANSWER CORRECTLY, THANKS SO MUCH**
OLga [1]
None of the questions asked can be answered completely from the graph provided (GHG emissions: Direct, indirect and total Vs Year)

Reason:
1) Question A:<span>What caused a drop in GHG emissions around 2009?. This questions in pointing towards reason for drop of GHG emission around 2009. From the graph, it can be seen that there is a drop in GHG emission around 2009. However, information for reason for this drop is not available in graph.
2) Question B: </span>Did GHG emissions cause the melting of Arctic glaciers?. As mentioned earlier, the graph plotted provides information of GHG emissions: Vs Year. Information related to impact of GHG on environment is not available in graph. 
3) Question C: <span>How much methane was emitted by homes between 1990 and 2000?. Graph provides information of direct and indirect emission for GHG. However, it lacks information about emission from residential or industrial sources. 
4) </span>Question D: <span>Does industrial equipment release gases other than greenhouse gases?: Present study doesnot cover type of gases emitted from industrial equipment.
5) </span>Question E: <span>Which types of industries were included in the study?: Present graph has not specific information related to industries. </span>
