Ionic compounds are compounds that are formed together by a cation and an anion. A cation is an ion with a positive charge. For example, Na+ and Ca2+. An ion has a negative charge, like Cl- and OH-. There is a greater chance of forming an ionic compound when they have a great difference in electronegativity, the ability to attract electrons toward itself. In the periodic table, elements that are opposite to each other, more likely found in opposite sides, would be more apt to form an ionic compound. Example would be NaCl and CaCl2 or Ca(OH)2.
Answer:
37S
Explanation:
Radioactivity is the spontaneous emission of particles and / or electromagnetic radiation by unstable atomic nuclei leading to their disintegration.
We have two main types of radioactivity: radioactive decay and artificial transmutation.
In radioactive decay ( natural radioactivity ), a naturally occurring radioactive element like Uranium-238 disintegrates or decays into more stable isotopes with the emission of particles and/or radiation.
23892U = 23490Th + 42He
Artificial transmutation is the collision of two particles where one particle captures the other used to bombard it. There is subsequent production of isotopes similar or different from the bombarded particle. Neutrons, alpha particles ( helium nucleus ), electrons, protons can be used to bombard elements.
147N + 42He = 178O + 11P
For the above question which is artificial transmutation, the reaction equation is
4018Ar + 10n = 3716S + 42He
So, the neutron capture by Argon-40 will produce a radioisotope Sulphur-37 with the emission of an alpha particle.
<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.

Answer:
D.
They have a positive charge and are present in the nucleus of an atom along with the neutrons.
explanation:
Protons have a positive charge.
Answer:
1.2 ( two significant digits)
Explanation:
5.4 - 4.21 answer should only have the the number of significant digits as the number in the equation with the least number of significant digits... in this case 5.4 is only two significant digits....so the answer should only have two significant digits
5.4 - 4.21 = 1.19 round to two digits = 1.2
