In a chemical laboratory, a mortar and pestle function is to decrease surface area of a solute. The correct answer is B.
Answer:
A. 1613 °C
Explanation:
The asthenosphere is located just below the Earth’s crust.
It must be molten or semi-molten, so that convection currents can move the tectonic plates above it.
Rocks start to melt at about 1300 °C, so a temperature of 1613 °C sounds about right.
Answer:
C. Y & Z
Explanation:
V, W are imaginary metals here because their valence electrons are typically less than 4. X, Y, Z are non-metals and have higher valence electrons. Here, if V or W bind with X, Y, or Z we make ionic bond (because metal + non metal = ionic). But, if X binds with Y or Z or any combinations of any two of the three non-metals results in covalent bond (non metal + non metal = covalent).
Thus, Y and Z make covalent.
