Answer:

For A: The correct answer is Option E.

For B: The correct answer is Option E.

Explanation:

For A:

Ionic compound is defined as the compound which is formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.

This bond is usually formed between a metal and a non-metal or a metal reacts with a polyatomic ion or a reaction between two polyatomic ions takes place.

For the given options:

Option A: $RbNO_3$

This compound is formed by the combination of $Rb^+\text{ and }NO_3^-$ ions. Rubidium is a metal and nitrate is a polyatomic ion

Hence, it is an ionic compound.

Option B: $Na_2SO_4$

This compound is formed by the combination of $Na^+\text{ and }SO_4^{2-}$ ions. Sodium is a metal and sulfate is a polyatomic ion

Hence, it is an ionic compound.

Option C: $MgCl_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of $Mg^{2+}\text{ and }Cl^-$ ions. Magnesium is a metal and chlorine is a non-metal

Hence, it is an ionic compound.

Option D: $NaI$

This compound is formed by the combination of $Na^+\text{ and }I^-$ ions. Sodium is a metal and iodine is a non-metal

Hence, it is an ionic compound.

Thus, the correct answer is Option E.

For B:

Covalent compound is defined as the compound which is formed when sharing of electrons takes place between the atoms. This is usually formed between two non-metals.

Option A: $SO_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of sulfur and oxygen atoms. Both are non-metals.

Hence, it is a covalent compound.

Option B: $C_2H_2O$

This compound is formed by the combination of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. All are non-metals.

Hence, it is a covalent compound.

Option C: $NO_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of nitrogen and oxygen atoms. Both are non-metals.

Hence, it is a covalent compound.

Option D: $SiO_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of silicon and oxygen atoms. Both are non-metals.

Hence, it is a covalent compound.

Thus, the correct answer is Option E.

When a cell is in a solution where the concentration of solute is the same in the cell as in the solution, the solution is calle

Elodia [21]

The answer to this question would be: isotonic

An isotonic solution has a same tonicity/concentration to the cell. This kind of solution will not cause osmosis to occur so it wouldn't shrink or swell the cells. This is why an isotonic solution is safer for the cells. The normal saline solution is isotonic to human cells and used frequently in medicine to replace body fluid.

What is equal to the number of particles in 36 grams of carbon-12?

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

3 moles

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will use the Avogadro numbers.

The number 6.022×10²³ is called Avogadro number and it is the number of atoms, ions or molecules in one mole of substance. According to this,

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole = 6.022×10²³ atoms.

18 g water = 1 mole = 6.022×10²³ molecules

we are given 36 g of C-12. So,

12 g of C-12 = 1 mole

24 g of C-12 = 2 mole

36 g of C-12 = 3 mole

So 3 moles of C-12 equals to the number of particles in 36 g of C-12.

Answer:

How does non-human life in an urban ecosystem differ from that in an undeveloped forest ecosystem?

Explanation:

In forest eco system the people are uncivilized and not so much educated. And in urban eco system people are intelligent as well as educated this is the main reason. In an urban ecosystem, the only non-human life that live there are the ones that are able to survive under the conditions. However, in undeveloped forest ecosystems, there’s barely any pollution. Therefore, a bigger variety of non-human life is able to live here.
