Answer: 
incorporates both ionic bonding and covalent bonding.
Explanation:
A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals.
An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal.
For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.
Here potassium is having an oxidation state of +1 called as 
cation and nitrate 
is an anion with oxidation state of -1. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral .
is formed by sharing of electrons between two non metals nitrogen and oxygen.
Thus incorporates both ionic bonding and covalent bonding.
Answer:
Lowering the object near the ground decreases its <u>potential energy.</u>
<u></u>
Explanation:
Potential Energy : Energy possessed by the object due to its shape ,Size and Position is called potential energy.
Example :
Change in shape and size : When you compress the spring , potential energy is introduced in it . So it expand quickly when you remove your hand.
Change in position : when you swing , after attaining maximum height (extreme ends) , the swing comes back on its on .This is because at maximum height ,the swing has<u> maximum Potential energy . </u>Hence it fall back on its on because it already has potential energy.
Potential energy(P) is given by the formula :
P = mgh
where ,
m= mass of the object
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height of the object from the ground
If the height of the object increases from the ground , its potential energy also get increase.
<u><em>On lowering the object The height of the object from the ground reduces . So potential energy also reduces.</em></u>
Let initially there are 10 molecules of O2 and 3 molecules of C3H8 present
The reaction will be
C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) ----> 3CO2(g) + 4H2O
so here oxygen molecules are limiting as for 3 molecules of C3H8 we need 15 molecules of O2
now the given 10 molecules of O2 will react with only 2 molecules of C3H8 and they will form six molecules of CO2 and 8 molecules of H2O
Hence answer is
molecules of CO2 formed = 6
Molecules of H2O formed = 8
molecules of C3H8 left = 1
molecules of O2 left = 0
<h2>Answer: C) 1s²2s²2p⁶</h2>
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
A noble gas has 8 electrons between the p and s orbitals of the outer shell. Helium is the exception because it only has two electrons.
<h3> ∴ 1s²2s²2p⁶ is the noble gas (neon)</h3>
Answer:
Consequently, what happens when gas obtained by heating slaked lime and ammonium chloride is passed through copper sulphate solution? The HCl in the gas mixture will form hydrochloric and the H+ will react with some of the NH3(aq), forming NH4^+, and with some of the SO4^2-, forming HSO4^-.
