The answer is b, because all of the other compounds are covelent
Answer:
Thermal energy
Explanation:
When gasoline, coal, batteries and logs are all burn they transform chemical energy to thermal energy.
The chemical energy is the energy held between chemical chains and bonds within an atom.
- When they combust, they release thermal energy
- Chemical energy is a potential energy.
- The thermal energy is a kinetic energy
- It increase the average motion of the particles in the medium
- The breaking bond when produces heat which is a form of thermal energy.
The choices that should have accompanied this question were:
A. 1
<span>B. 2 </span>
<span>C. 3 </span>
<span>D. 4

My answer is B. 2.
Below is an explanation, I found while doing the research.
<span>Phosphate needs 3 electrons each totaling 6 electrons so each zinc will need to give up 2 electrons.
Phosphate wants to imitate the electron configuration of Argon because noble configurations are the most stable. With P getting the extra electrons the valence shell will be 3s2 3p6, which is the same as Argon. Without the extra electrons, the P valence shell looks like this 3s2 3p3, now you can see why each phosphorus wants 3 more electrons, that will make it 3s2 3p6, just like Argon.</span>
