Answer: KNO_3 incorporates both ionic bonding and covalent bonding.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals.

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal.

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here potassium is having an oxidation state of +1 called as K^{+} cation and nitrate NO_3^{-} is an anion with oxidation state of -1. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral KNO_3. NO_3^- is formed by sharing of electrons between two non metals nitrogen and oxygen.

Thus KNO_3 incorporates both ionic bonding and covalent bonding.

Give the clarification of heat and temperature on the basis of molecular motion?
sdas [7]

Explanation:

Heat is a form of thermal energy.

Heat is the sum of all the energy of the molecular motion in an object.

Temperature measures the average heat possessed by each molecule in a given substance.

 Molecules at a higher temperature possess more kinetic energy and they will move faster. This kinetic energy form is the heat variant of thermal energy.

Temperature is the measure of this heat energy of molecules.

What is the graph that represents the relation between durability of titanium and temperature ?
matrenka [14]

The downward slope represents the relation between durability of titanium and temperature because with increase temperature, strength of titanium decreases.

<h3>Can titanium withstand temperatures?</h3>

Titanium alloys have high tensile strength to weight ratio, good toughness and an ability to bear extreme temperatures of more than 600 °Celsius. This shows that if temperature increase from more than 600 °Celsius, the strength of the titanium tends to decrease because it can not withstand to it so the graph comes to downward when the temperature exceeds to 600°C.

So we can conclude that the downward slope represents the relation between durability of titanium and temperature because with increase temperature, strength of titanium decreases.
