Answer:

Ionic solid

Explanation:

Ionic solids -

These are the type of solids , which is composed of ions , which are bond by very strong electrostatic force of attraction , are referred to as ionic solids.

And due to very strong force of attraction between the ions , they generally have very high melting point.

When the solid is dissolved in water , the ions gets separate out , and these free ions are capable to conduct electricity , and hence they are very good conductor in molten form , and are insulator in solid form.

Hence , from the given information of the question ,

The correct term is ionic solids.

13. How many electrons are transferred in the following reaction? (The reaction is unbalanced.) Fe(s) + I'(aq) 12(s) + Fe3+(aq)
Nat2105 [25]

Answer : The correct option is, (C) 6

Explanation :

Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is a reaction in which oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this oxidation state increases.

Reduction reaction : It is the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this oxidation state decreases.

The given unbalanced chemical reaction is,

Fe(s)+I^-(aq)\rightarrow I_2(s)+Fe^{3+}(aq)

Half reactions of oxidation and reduction are :

Oxidation : Fe(s)\rightarrow Fe^{3+}+3e^-        ......(1)

Reduction : 2I^-(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow I_2         .......(2)

In order to balance the electrons, we multiply equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 3, we get:

Oxidation : 2Fe(s)\rightarrow 2Fe^{3+}+6e^-        ......(1)

Reduction : 6I^-(aq)+6e^-\rightarrow 3I_2         .......(2)

The overall balanced chemical reaction will be:

2Fe(s)+6I^-(aq)\rightarrow 3I_2(s)+2Fe^{3+}(aq)

From this reaction we conclude that the electrons are getting transferred from iron to iodine and the number of electrons transferred are 6 electrons.

Hence, the correct option is, (C) 6

Define Saturated Solution. What happens as a saturates solution cools?
solong [7]

Saturated solution is a solution in which no more solute can be dissolved in the solvent. When saturated solution cools, the solution began precipitate from the solution, because under lower temperature, usually, less amount solute can be dissolved in the solvent.

True or false When heat flows to an object, it can change states.
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: True

Explanation:

The matter exists as solid, liquid or gas. These are called the states of matter. The change of matter from one state to another can be achieved by heating or cooling.

The solid state can be converted into liquid state by providing heat to solid. The heat will make the particles move farther, resulting into liquid state.

Similarly when liquid state is provided heat, it changes to gaseous state. The heat will make the particles move much more faster.

Thus the statement that when heat flows to an object, it can change states is True.

Which which atom is held together by covalent bonds?​
Sedaia [141]
Covalent bonds are strong bonds. Atoms that share pairs of electrons form molecules. A molecule is a group of atoms held together by covalent bonds. A diatomic molecule is a molecule containing only two atoms.
