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.
The answer is A. planning a hiking trip
A topographical map would not help studying plant growth over time unless you are looking for a better altitude to plant said plants.
A topographical map would not help studying rainfall for one year unless your location was <em>really</em> so high or low that it affected your weather
And most of all, a topographical map would not be useful for planning a cuise across the Atlantic Ocean because the elevation of the sea is zero!
A topographical map <em>would</em> be useful for planning a hiking trip because there are many factors and details that a hike should have. Which includes height, distance, paths, and elevation.
Answer:
Group of highly-reactive chemical elements. The alkali metals are a group (column) in the periodic table consisting of the chemical elements lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), caesium (Cs), and francium (Fr).
Answer:
2= its color
Explanation:
Transition elements are present in the middle of periodic table. These are d-block elements.
These are 38 elements.
All transition elements have partially filled d orbitals.
They showed color in compound because of d-d transition.
During the d-d transition electron absorbed the energy and emit the reminder energy. The emission is usually in the form of color light.
The color of ion is complementary to the absorbed color.
The transition elements are used as a catalyst in industries such as polymer, petroleum industries.
They are ductile, conduct heat and electricity.
Answer;
The partial negative charge on oxygen would stick out less and be less able to participate in hydrogen bonding.
Explanation;
Water is a polar molecule because the electrons are not shared equally, they're closer to the oxygen atom than the hydrogen.
-Normally, the water molecule is a bent shape because of the pair of lone electrons - they repulse each other and exert a compression to the hydrogen atoms at a slight 104º angle. It is a bent molecular geometry that results from tetrahedral electron pair geometry.
-The 2 lone electron pairs exerts a little extra repulsion on the two bonding hydrogen atoms to create a slight compression to a 104 degrees bond angle. Therefore, the water molecule is bent molecular geometry because the lone electron pairs.
Thus, If water were a linear molecule like co2, electrostatic interactions between water molecules would be much weaker, then the partial negative charge on oxygen would stick out less and be less able to participate in hydrogen bonding.
