Chemistry

Answer:

KCl

Explanation:

Hello,

Potassium chloride is well-known as an ionic compound owing to the shown-below greater-than-1.7 difference between the electronegativities of potassium and chlorine:

\Delta E=E_{Cl}-E_K=3.16-0.82\\\Delta E=2.34

This is by cause of the fact that such compounds that have a difference in the constituent elements' electronegativities greater than 1.7 are considered as ionic.

Best regards.

KCI is not a covalent compound, it is an ionic compound. 
A covalent compound is one in which each of the atoms involved contribute a specific number of electrons for sharing in order to from stable compound while an ionic compound is a compound formed when one atom donates electron to the other atom in the compound, in order to attain stability.  The compounds given in options A, B and D shared electrons while in KCl, potassium donates an electron to chlorine.

It's normal for climates to change naturally over time.
creativ13 [48]

<u>Answer:</u>

Earth's climate has changed naturally over the past 650,000 years, moving in and out of ice ages and warm periods. Changes in climate occur because of alterations in Earth's energy balance, which result from some kind of external factor or "forcing" an environmental factor that influences the climate.

(03.05 LC)
Ainat [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is 4

Explanation:

Boron trifluoride (BF₃) has a molecular geometry (as shown in the image in the question) referred to as trigonal planar; this is because each of the the fluorine atoms/molecules (bonded to the central boron atom) is placed in such a way that they form the three "end points"/"domains" of an equilateral triangle. Hence, the correct option is the last option.

Give all possible, accurate, correct IUPAC names for the following compounds:
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

A. 4-ethyl-hex-3,5-dien-2-ol.

B. 2-chloro-3-methyl-5-<em>tert</em>-butylphenol.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given problems, it is possible to apply the IUPAC rules to obtain the following names:

A. 4-ethyl-hex-3,5-dien-2-ol because we have an ethyl radical at the fourth carbon and the beginning of the parent chain is on the Me (CH3) because it is closest to first OH.

B. 2-chloro-3-methyl-5-<em>tert</em>-butylphenol: because we start at the alcohol and have a chlorine atom on the second carbon, a methyl radical on the third carbon, a <em>tert</em>-butyl on the fifth carbon and the parent chain is benzene which is phenol as an alcohol.

Regards!

Human blood consists of blood groups A, B, and O. However, there is one more blood group, AB, which contains alleles A and B in
algol13
It is codominant inheritance because, if the placement of the A and B molecules on each cell is controlled by the proteins that are coded by different versions of the same gene, then <span>IA and IB </span><span>are codominant but both are dominant to I<span>o</span>. If a person receives an <span>IA </span>allele and a <span>IB</span> allele, their blood type is type AB, in which characteristics of both A and B antigens are expressed.
