7 0

Answer:

NaCl has a smaller lattice energy compared to CaO

Explanation:

We have remember that lattice energy increases as the size of the ions in the ionic solid decreases. According to Oxford dictionary; lattice energy is "a measure of the energy contained in the crystal lattice of a compound, equal to the energy that would be released if the component ions were brought together from infinity."

We know that the larger the magnitude of charge on a cation the smaller in size the cation is and the size of anions increase from left to right in the periodic table. Hence Ca^2+<Na^+ and O^2- < Cl^-. Therefore the lattice energy of CaO is greater than that of NaCl.

Caitlin told Teddy that she heard that the largest diamond was found yesterday in Africa. What would be the best source of resea
matrenka [14]
B, the Internet.

If Caitlin told Teddy that the largest diamond was found YESTERDAY then it wouldn't be in last month's science magazine. It also wouldn't be able to be in an encyclopedia at the library because there wouldn't have been any time to write, publish, and for the library to get the encyclopedia in one day. Caitlin's parents may not know about Caitlin's claim or about the diamond in the first place. The Internet would likely have an article about the news-breaking diamond as soon as possible.

In a chemical change
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

B. materials change their properties.

Explanation:

In a chemical change, materials often change their properties because a re-arrangement of atoms takes place.

A chemical change is one in which new kind of matter is formed.

It is always accompanied by energy changes.

  • Chemical changes are not reversible.
  • They lead to the production of new kinds of matter
  • It involves mass changes
  • Requires considerable amount of energy
