Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Poly means many and polyatomic ions means an ion(s) with two or more different atoms.
Out of the given options, phosphate ion is the polyatomic ion which has an ionic charge of 3-.
The formula depicting a phosphate ion is 
.
Whereas Nitrate, Sulfate, Hydroxide
, Bicarbonate does not carry or have a 3- ionic charge.
Answer:
C. chromium is a metal that is less reactive than sodium.
Explanation:
Hello.
Given the options:
A. chromium is a nonmetal and therefore a good conductor of heat and electricity
.
B. chromium is a metal that is more reactive than potassium
.
C. chromium is a metal that is less reactive than sodium
.
D. chromium is a noble gas that is not reactive.
In this case, since chromium is in period 4 group VIB we infer it is a transition metal which slightly reacts with acids and poorly reacts with oxygen and other oxidizing substances. Thus, in comparison with both sodium and potassium which are highly reactive even with water as they get on fire, we can say that it is less reactive than both potassium and sodium, therefore, answer is: C. chromium is a metal that is less reactive than sodium.
Best regards.
