If you really keep an eye on the flow chart, the only ions you can consider as being "Definitely not present" are: Cr3+, Fe3+, and Zn2+. The rest of the ions should be considered under "Possibly present", as we cannot conclude if any of the ions are "Definitely present".
Answer:
the one with less thermal energy
Explanation:
thermal energy is heat
Halogens are elements that can be found in group 7 of the periodic table. They have 7 electrons in their outer shell and thus can form only a single covalent bond with other elements. Examples of halogens include chlorine, bromine and fluorine. A carbon compound that is covalently bonded with chlorine or bromine is called a halocarbon.
Let's identify first the phases of matter inside each of those beakers. The first beaker on the left has a compact shape and has its own volume. So, that must be solid. The middle beaker has a compact shape but it takes the shape of its container. So, that must be liquid. The third beaker on the right is gas because the molecules are far away from each other.
After identifying each states, let's investigate the energy for phase change. Let's start with the arrows pointing to the right. The first arrow to the right is a phase change from solid to liquid. The intermolecular forces in a solid is the strongest among the three phases of matter. So, you would need an input of energy to break them apart into liquid. The same is true for the phase change from liquid to gas. Therefore, all the arrows pointing to the right require an input of energy.
The reverse arrows pointing to the left needs to release energy. The molecules in the gas state are free such that they can travel from one point to another easily. They have the highest amount of energy. So, if you want the molecules to come closer together, you need to remove the energy to keep them in place. Therefore, the arrows pointing to the right require removal of energy.
Ionic compound consists of a positively charged ion and a negatively charged anion. For example, NaCl. Na (sodium) is a cation (another word for positively charged ion) and Cl (chloride) is a anion (another way for negatively charged ion.)
Molecular compounds consists of only negatively charged ions. For example Br2I is a compound of 2 elements that are negatively charged.
Unlike ionic compounds, molecular compounds consists of two or more negatively charged elements.
