Answer:

a. They are composed of anions and cations

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are molecules in which the constituent atoms are connected by ionic bonds.

Ionic bonds are formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to the other. The atom that loses electrons becomes positively charged and referred to as a cation. Whereas, the atom that gains electrons becomes negatively charged i.e. an anion.

For example, common salt (sodium chloride) NaCl is an ionic compound which is essentially Na⁺Cl⁻.

Thus, ionic compounds are composed of anions and cations.

Which of the following is not equal to 42.7 millimeters?

Stella [2.4K]

The answer is: C. 0.00427 m.

A) 1 km = 1000000 mm.

d = 0.0000427 km · 1000000 mm/km.

d = 47.7 mm.

B) 1 hm = 100000 mm.

d = 0.000427 hm · 100000 mm/hm.

d = 42.7 mm.

C) 1 m = 1000 mm.

d = 0.00427 m · 1000 mm/m.

d = 4.27 mm.

D) 1 cm = 10 mm.

d = 4.27 cm · 10 mm/cm.

d = 42.7 mm.

Millimeter (abbreviated: mm, a thousandth part of metar) is an unit of distance in the metric system.

Determine whether each of the following statements about sulfur oxide and/or nitrogen oxide pollution is true or false.

astraxan [27]

Answer:

a) False

b) False

c) True

Explanation:

a) Most sulfur oxides formed during combustion come from sulfur in the air: The sulfur burns in presence of oxygen to produce sulfur oxides, the source of sulfur is anthropogenic activities (Human activities).

So the given statement is false.

b) A flue gas scrubber removes SO2 pollution in a coal-fired power plant by using lime to convert the SO2 into alcohols:

False

The lime reacts with sulfur dioxide to give carbon dioxide and calcium sulfite.

$CaCO_{3}+SO_{2}--->CaSO_{3}+CO_{2}$

c) True
