Answer is: No. Salt, like all matter is composed of atoms.

For example, table salt is sodium chloride mixed with small amount of potassium iodide (KI), sodium iodide (NaI) or sodium iodate (NaIO₃).

Atomic level - sodium chloride (NaCl) has crystal cubic structure (lattice-type arrangement) with ionic bonds. Sodium is cation with charge 1+ and chlorine is an anion with charge 1-.

Macroscopic level - table salt is colorless crystal, soluble in water with high melting and boiling temperature.

Why copper should not be disposed of in landfill sites?
Dafna1 [17]
Copper is a heavy metal that can harm many people. This process of heavy metals building in your body is called bioaccumulation and the process of this building in the food chain is called biomagnification. Its hard to rid of this heavy metal because it is very dense, therefore, cannot breakdown in our bodies. Heavy metals get consumed by producers and then reach to the top of the pyramid (us) so we have the highest risk of getting diseases and so on. Make sure you explain that heavy metals get passed from industrial purposes where companies do not dispose of waste properly.

Explain how acid–base indicators can be used to determine the approximate pH of a substance.
mezya [45]
PH stands for potential hydrogen.
pH can be accurately tested using acid-based indicators since it is a part of the pH of something itself. (acid and bases) The indicators themselves work when the acidic properties of the indicator begins to dissolve and form ions which gives the color indicating the pH.

What limitation is placed on electrons in the bohr model of the atom?
Olegator [25]
I thinking the limitation is that a shifting electron will always move from a more excited states to a less excited state. Electrons could not circle the nucleus because they would lose energy by emitting electromagnetic radiation and spiral into the nucleus. In addition Bohr was not able to explain electrons orbits of large atom w/many electrons.

The nutritional energy content (in Calories) present in 86g of broccoli with 6g of carbohydrates, 2.6g of protein, and 0.3g of f
asambeis [7]

Answer:

37.1 calories.

Approximately, 37.1 = 40 calories.

Explanation:

So, without mincing words let's dive straight into the solution to the question above.

We are given the following parameters which are going to help in solving this particular Question.

The mass of broccoli = 86g of broccoli, mass of carbohydrates present = 6g of carbohydrates, the mass of protein present = 2.6g of protein and the mass of fat present = 0.3g of fat.

Therefore, the nutritional energy content (in Calories) = (6 × 4) + (2.6 × 4) + (0.3 × 9) = 10.4 + 24 + 2.7 = 37.1

Hence, the nutritional energy content (in Calories) = 37.1 calories.

Approximately, 37.1 = 40 calories.
