D. MgF₂

Explanation:

The compound that is held together by the electrostatic force between two ions is MgF₂.

Electrostatic force of attraction is exhibited primarily and only in ionic compounds.

In this type of bond;

  • A metallic atom such as Mg will lose two of its valence electrons to form Mg²⁺
  • Two non-metal ion that is highly electronegative such as "F" will gain the two electrons because they require an electron each to have a perfect octet.
  • Two ions are now formed.
  • In the vicinity of one another, they attract with an electrostatic force.
  • This is why our answer is MgF₂.
  • Electrostatic force occurs in ionic/electrovalent compounds

Zolol [24]
Watt = voltage x ampere
750 = 220 x ampere
Ampere = 750 / 220
Resistance = voltage / ampere
= 220^2 / 750

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

this statement describes meteor's velocity,

because velocity is a vector quantity which has both magnitude as well as a specific direction and here the meteor's direction is specified in the statement hence we conclude that this statement describes meteor's velocity as well as speed too.
