Based on factors affecting solution formation;
- Strong solvent-solute intermolecular forces favors solution formation.
- Increase in entropy favours solution formation
- Decrease in enthalpy favours solution formation
<h3>What is a solution?</h3>
A solution is a substance formed when a substance known as solute dissolves in another substance know as solvent.
Factors that affect solution formation include:
- strength of intermolecular forces between solute and solvent
- entropy
- enthalpy
Strong solvent-solute intermolecular forces favors solution formation.
Increase in entropy favours solution formation
Decrease in enthalpy favours solution formation.

<h3>
<u>ANSWER</u></h3>
2. Neon, only
<h3>
<u>EXPLANATION</u></h3>
When Na and F combine they form an electron configuration of 2-8. Na electron configuration is 2-8-1 while F is 2-7, so when they form an ionic bond F will gain Na outermost electron to complete its valence shell due to having a higher negativity. Neon has an electron configuration of 2-8 but argon has 2-8-8.
Answer:
A. She can run the same distance in a shorter amount of time.
Explanation:
Speed can be computed with the formula:

Where:
v = speed
d = distance
t = time
So if you look at the formula, distance there tells you how far an object has traveled, and the time tells us how long it took to cover that distance. As you can see, speed and time are <u>inversely proportional. </u>This means that as one goes up, the other goes down. So if we reduce time travelling a certain distance, the speed increases.
We should describe a little bit the legend.
A - Element - we should have circles with same color and not bonded together (argon gas).
B - Compound - here we may have circles with same or different color bonded together (water or oxygen which is a diatomic molecule).
C - Mixture of elements - circles with different colors not not bonded together (mixture of noble gases).
D - Mixture of compounds - circles with same or different color bonded together but we should see two or more types of connectivity between circles (mixture of water and ethanol).
E - Mixture of elements and compounds - circles with same or different color bonded together mixed with circles with same color and not bonded together (a mixture between oxygen which is a diatomic molecule and noble gas like argon).
