Since sodium chloride contains both a metal AND a nonmetal, the combination of those would result in an ionic bond.

Answer: Ionic

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are formed by transfer of electrons between metal and non metals. Covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons between non metals

In Sodium chloride

Electronic configuration of sodium:

$[Na]=1s^22s^22p^63s^1$

Sodium atom will loose one electron to gain noble gas configuration and form sodium cation with +1 charge.

$[Na^+]=1s^22s^22p^63s^0$

Electronic configuration of chlorine:

$[Cl]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5$

Chlorine atom will gain one electron to gain noble gas configuration and form chloride ion with -1 charge.

$[Cl^-]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6$

In sodium chloride the one electron from sodium metal gets transferred to chlorine atom and thus is ionic.

Gre4nikov [31]

I believe the answer is A. make a softer sound because the shark will not hear the softer signal.

I say this becasue "Some of the sounds dolphins make are outside the range of human hearing." So that means the the dolphins speak at a higher wavelength then us humans and we can't hear it so they could use that to their advantage and speak at a height wavelength to each other when sharks are near.

I could be wrong, but I think the answer is A.

How will the vapor pressure of a solution compare to the pure solvent?

n200080 [17]

Answer: vapor pressure of solution will be less than that of the pure solvent

Explanation:

Vapor pressure of a liquid is defined as the pressure exerted by the vapors in equilibrium with the liquid/solution at a particular temperature.

So, when a non-volatile solute is added to a solvent then its molecules align at the surface of liquid. As a result, less number of solvent molecules will escape from the solution. Thus, there will be decrease in vapors and thus the vapor pressure decrease.

As the relative lowering of vapor pressure is directly proportional to the amount of dissolved solute.

The formula for relative lowering of vapor pressure will be,

$\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}=\frac{w_2M_1}{w_1M_2}$

where,

$p^o$ = vapor pressure of pure solvent

$p_s$ = vapor pressure of solution

$w_2$ = mass of solute

$w_1$ = mass of solvent

$M_1$ = molar mass of solvent

$M_2$ = molar mass of solute

d.v. hoyt, "an empirical determination of the heating of the earth by the carbon dioxide greenhouse effect", nature 282 (22 nove

AleksAgata [21]

The impact of a higher atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration on Earth's surface temperature has been the subject of numerous theoretical calculations1,2.

Estimates of the rise in Earth's surface temperature brought on by doubling the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere typically fall between 0.7 and 2.9 °C. The temperature rises range from 0.096 to 0.40 °C for a 10% increase in carbon dioxide.
All of these conclusions were reached through the use of theoretical models, ranging in complexity from one-dimensional investigations of the planetary radiation budget to three-dimensional general circulation models.
Here, a novel solution to this issue is discussed, enabling the calculation of an empirical estimate of the heating of the Earth's surface caused by the greenhouse effect of carbon dioxide.

This method suggests that the Earth only warmed by 0.40 °C or less between 1880 and 1970.

Oxygen and sulphur at at the same group in the periodic table and they form bonding with hydrogen.H2O and H2S

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Below.

Explanation:

Because of the hydrogen bonding that occurs in water. Oxygen is more electronegative than sulphur and forms inter molecular bonding between the H+ and O- ions in the water. This does not occur in H2S.
