Answer:
When corals are stressed by changes in conditions such as temperature, light, or nutrients, they expel the symbiotic algae living in their tissues, causing them to turn completely white. Warmer water temperatures can result in coral bleaching.
When nitrogen and aluminum form an ionic bond, the formula of the ionic compound is AlN.
Aluminum forms a cation Al⁺³ and nitrogen forms an anion N⁻³. When each cation of Al⁺³ combines with an anion of N⁻³, AlN or aluminum nitride is formed. In AlN a strong electrostatic force of attraction exists between the oppositely charged Al⁺³ and N⁻³ ions.
In a covalent bond, the atoms bond by sharing electrons. Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals. For example, in water (H2O) each hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) share a pair of electrons to make a molecule of two hydrogen atoms single bonded to a single oxygen atom.
Answer: option D - The total number of nucleons changes.
Explanation:
Nuclear Reaction is best described as a process such as the fission of an atomic nucleus, or the fusion of one or more atomic nuclei and / or subatomic particles in which the NUMBER of PROTONS and / or NEUTRONS in a nucleus CHANGES; the reaction products may contain a different element or a different isotope of the same element.
Note that the NUCLEONS refers to ONE of the subatomic particles of the atomic nucleus, i.e. a PROTON or a NEUTRON.
So, in a Nuclear reaction, the total number of nucleons changes.
