When a substance is changing state, its temperature remains constant. This is because energy is used to increase/decrease kinetic energy of the molecules of the substance, increasing/decreasing the inter-molecular distance and overcoming the energy bonds present between the molecules. Therefore, no energy is used to raise the temperature of the substance and therefore it remains constant
Ionic bonding is formed in Ionic compounds due to electrostatic force between the oppositely charged ions.
In covalent bonds electrons are shared between the atoms. In case of ionic bond the bond is stronger as there is complete transfer of electrons from one ion to the other.
Since the ionic bonds are more difficult to break than the covalent bonds, ionic compounds have a higher melting point than covalent compounds.
The rate at which radioactive decay occurs & how much radioactive decay has occurred
Answer: The statement, you've just prepared an aqueous solution is true.
Explanation:
When one or more number of substances are dissolved in a solvent like water then solution formed is called an aqueous solution.
For example, when a hot drink is made by dissolving a teaspoon of instant coffee and a teaspoon of sugar in a cup of hot water is an aqueous solution.
Here, both coffee and sugar are solute whereas hot water is the solvent.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement, you've just prepared an aqueous solution is true.
