Answer:
(a) Covalent bond. NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride)
(b) Ionic bond. LiCl (lithium chloride)
Explanation:
<em>(a) N and F</em>
Nitrogen and fluorine are nonmetals, with high and similar electronegativities, so they form covalent bonds, in which they share pairs of electrons to complete the octet in their valence shell. N has 5 valence electrons so it will form 3 covalent bonds while each Cl has 7 valence electrons so it will form 1 covalent bond. As a result, the empirical formula is NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride).
<em>(b) Li and Cl</em>
Lithium is a metal and Chlorine is a nonmetal. They have different electronegativities so they form an ionic bond, in which Cl gains 1 electron (7 valence e⁻) and Li loses 1 electron (1 valence e⁻). The empirical formula is LiCl (lithium chloride).
The answer is C. They lower the activation energy of an elementary step of a reaction
This makes the reaction rate to increase since less energy is required to make a reaction occur.
Answer :
121.5 <span>
μCi
Explanation : We have Ce-141 half life given as 32.5 days so if the activity is 3.8 </span><span>μci after 162.5 days of time elapsed we have to find the initial activity.
We can use this formula;
</span>

3.8 /

=

((0.693 X 162.5 ) / 32.5) = 121.5
<span>
On solving we get, The initial activity as 121.5 </span>μci
C! The clownfish hide in the sea anemones for protection
Cc stands for cm cubed (cubic centimetre).
So
6cc=6 cm^3.
