No, it is not feasible. Three metallic ions cannot provide the exact number of electrons that one sulfur needs for the ionic bond

Answer: No it is not feasible.

Explanation:

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 the non metal is sulfur having an oxidation state of -2 and thus the formula of an ionic compound containing sulfur can never be X_3S as the neutral compound is formed by exchange of oxidation states. Thus the subscript of X has to be 2.

What best describes why hair gel is considered a noncrystalline solid?
ad-work [718]

Given what we know, we can confirm that hair gel is considered a noncrystalline solid due to Atoms in the hair gel having no particular order or pattern.

<h3>What is a noncrystalline solid?</h3>
  • This is a solid whose atoms are amorphous.
  • What this means is that the atoms lack a specific order like most solids.
  • The most common example of this is glass.

Therefore, given the definition of a noncrystalline solid as a solid whose atoms lack a specified order, we can confirm that the second option which states that "Atoms in the hair gel having no particular order or pattern" is correct.

When people conserve electricity, power plants do not need to produce as much electricity because there is less demand for it.
almond37 [142]

True

Explanation:

When people conserve electricity, power plants do not need to produce as much electricity because there is less demand for it.

This very correct.

  • When electricity is used in a sustainable way, there is little of it consumed.
  • Switching off idle electronics would make that amount of electric current to be re-distributed to another place.
  • Less coal and fuel would be used and power plants do not need to produce as much electricity.
  • Most electricity produced in power plants are often wasted due to idle appliances consuming the bulk of them.
  • When these appliances are turned off, less energy is in demand and less will be produced.
