Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Ionic salts are defined as the salts which tend to contain ionic bonds as there occurs transfer of electrons between its combining atoms.
So, when an ionic salt melts or it is dissolved in water then it will dissociate into its respective ions and as electricity is the flow of electrons or ions. Hence, this salt is then able to conduct electricity.
As covalent compounds are insoluble in water so, they do no dissociate into ions. Hence, they do not conduct electricity.
Similarly, metallic and network solids do not dissociate into ions either when melted or dissolved in water. Therefore, they also do not conduct electricity.
Thus, we can conclude that when a white crystalline salt conducts electricity when it is melted and when it dissolves in water then this bond is of ionic type.
Answer:
C) atmosphere → plants → animals → soil
Explanation:
The third choice provides the correct path through which carbon is cycled in nature.
Carbon passes from the atmosphere to plants then to animals and finally to the soil.
- Plants uses carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to manufacture their food.
- The food is made up of giant carbon chains which also provides nourishment for animals.
- When animals digest plant matter, they obtain energy for their process.
- The waste is passed into the soil .
the answer i believe is b:saltation, which is a form of wind erosion
Answer:
O2(g) was Reduced
Explanation:
It is necessary at this point to restate the working definitions of oxidation and reduction.
Oxidation refers to increase in oxidation number. A chemical specie is oxidized in a chemical reaction if there is a positive increase in its oxidation number from left to right in the reaction.
A chemical specie is said to be reduced when there is a decrease in its oxidation number from left to right in a reaction. Hence reduction refers to a decrease in oxidation number.
Now let us focus on O2(g). Its oxidation number on the left hand side is zero. On the right hand side, its oxidation number decreases to -2. This shows a decrease in oxidation number. From our premises above, we can safely conclude that O2(g) was reduced in the reaction.
