Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
It is known that metals are the species which readily lose an electron and tend to attain a positive charge.
For example, atomic number of sodium is 11 and its is an alkali metal. It electronic distribution is 2, 8, 1.
And, in order to attain stability it readily loses an electron and thus it become 
ion.
Also, it is known that species which tend to transfer or donate their valence electrons to other atoms tend to form ionic bond and the compound formed is known as ionic compound.
Therefore, we can conclude that the statement metal atoms held together by ionic bonds best describes a metal solid.
1 2 3 4 5 and how the question ask
I have never heard anyone ever say anything about aliens only living by using the same metabolistic processes as humans... But.. there may likely be another planet out there that does use oxygen, although at a different percentage from Earths. Anyways, even if we do find "other" life forms, who's to say that they're on the same level as us? Have you ever considered the fact that ants to us are like we are to other life forms out there and maybe they don't want or can't communicate with us because they see themselves as superior?
Hope that helps!
Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
- An ionic bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between two chemically combining atoms.
In an ionic bond, there occurs attraction between oppositely charged ions due to which there occurs strong forces of attraction between them. Therefore, ionic bonds are the strongest bonds.
- A polar covalent bond is formed due to unequal sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.
For example, 
is a polar covalent compound. Partial opposite charges tend to develop on the atoms of a polar covalent compound.
- A non-polar covalent bond is formed due to equal sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.
For example, 
is a non-polar covalent molecule. No partial charges will be there on the atoms of a non-polar covalent molecule.
- A hydrogen bond is defined as the bond formed between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom.
For example, in HCl compound there occurs hydrogen bonding.
In this type of bond, dipole-dipole attractive interactions tend to take place. And, strength of hydrogen bonds is very weak.
Thus, we can conclude that given bond types are arranged in order of increasing strength as follows.
Hydrogen bonds < non-polar covalent bonds < polar covalent bonds < ionic bonds
Answer:
315.
Explanation:
Hello.
In this case, since the given number has five significant figures as the zero is to the right of the first nonzero digit (3), if it is required to report it with three significant figures, it is necessary to "cut" it at the first five without any rounding since the subsequent zero is less than five.
Thus the number turns out:
315
Best regards.
