Answer: Among the listed substances
is the molecular compound.
Explanation:
A chemical compound formed by the chemical combination of two or more non-metals is called a molecular compound or covalent compound.
For example, Xe and Cl are non-metals. The compound formed by them is
which is a molecular compound.
A molecular compound is formed by sharing of atoms between the combining atoms.
Whereas NaF,
and CaO are all ionic compounds as they are formed by chemical combination of a metal and a non-metal.
Thus, we can conclude that among the listed substances
is the molecular compound.

See explanation
Explanation:
When a beaker of ethanoic acid is placed in the refrigerator, its temperature drops and the vessel feels cool.
Now, when we mix ethanoic acid and sodium carbonate, an endothermic reaction occurs, fizzing is observed as carbon dioxide is given off and heat is lost to the surroundings causing the reaction vessel to feel cool to touch.
The difference between putting ethanoic acid in the refrigerator and adding sodium carbonate to the solution is that, in the former, no new substance is formed. The substance remains ethanoic acid when retrieved from the refrigerator. In the later case, new substances are formed. The substance is no more ethanoic acid because a chemical reaction has taken place.
Answer:
Option E. Zirconium
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Length of side (L) of cube = 0.2 cm
Mass (m) of cube = 52 mg
Name of the unknown metal =?
Next, we shall determine the volume of the cube. This can be obtained as follow:
Length of side (L) of cube = 0.2 cm
Volume (V) of the cube =?
V = L³
V = 0.2³
V = 0.008 cm³
Next, we shall convert 52 mg to g. This can be obtained as follow:
1000 mg = 1 g
Therefore,
52 mg = 52 mg × 1 g / 1000 mg
52 mg = 0.052 g
Thus, 52 mg is equivalent to 0.052 g.
Next, we shall determine the density of the unknown metal. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass = 0.052 g.
Volume = 0.008 cm³
Density =?
Density = mass / volume
Density = 0.052 / 0.008
Density of the unknown metal = 6.5 g/cm³
Comparing the density of the unknown metal i.e 6.5 g/cm³ with those given in table in the above, we can conclude that the unknown metal is zirconium
Unlike nuclear reactions, nuclear reactions are not affected by changes in temperature,
pressure, of the presence of catalysts. Also nuclear reactions of given radioisotope cannot be slowed down, speeded up, or stopped.
Answer:
Both Option (I) and Option (III)
Explanation:
Biomass is usually defined as those organic molecules that are obtained from plants and animals, in order to produce energy. It is a renewable resource. Some of the examples of biomass include wood, crop, animal fossil fuel.
A large number of trees are being cut down to construct these biomass energies such as woods. This results in the deforestation process where the forested areas are converted into empty dry soils. This results in the increasing rate of erosion because the prevailing wind and flowing water can easily carry away the topsoil and loses the fertility of the soil.
Thus, the correct answers are both options (I) and (III).
