Hey there!
Label A: Sublimation
Label B: Condensation
Label C: Melting
Remember sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas state, without passing through the liquid state. Condensation is the conversion of a vapor or gas to a liquid. Melting is becoming liquefied by heat.
Hope this helps!
Atoms or molecule after gaining of electron possesses negative charge and is known as anion.
For the given sets:
The given elements are alkali metals and have tendency to lose electrons easily and form cations.
The given elements are non-metals and are electronegative. So, they gain electrons easily and form anion.
Carbon has tendency to form bond by sharing of electrons, Sulfur has tendency to gain electrons and form anion whereas Lead has tendency to lose electron.
Potassium and Iron has tendency to lose electron and form cation whereas Bromine has tendency to gain electron to form anion.
Hence, from the given sets, all elements of set:
have tendency to form anions in binary ionic compounds.
Answer:
A. Compounds
Explanation:
Firstly, don't let the word "pure" confuse you; this is pretty much irrelevant to the question.
The key to answering this question lies in "substance" and "more than one type of element chemically bonded."
Something you ought to memorize is that a substance is either an element or compound. Therefore, you can eliminate choices B./C.
Next, use the part of the definition that says "more than one type of element chemically bonded" to conclude that it's a compound. Not only is this the definition of a compound, but the fact that is says <em>more than one type of element</em> should automatically tell you that it is different from just a regular element (Choice D.).
