Alkali metals have only one valence electron and so have low binding energy to the metallic crystal lattice. ... A lower amount of energy needed to break a bond means a lower melting/boiling point.
Raising of the boiling point is a colligative property. That means that it depends on the number of particles dissolved. The greater the number of particles the greater the increase in the boiling point. So, you can compare the effect of these solutes in the increase of the boiling point by writing the chemical equations and comparing the number of particles dissolved: 1)ionic lithium chloride, LiCl(s) --> Li(+) + Cl (-) => 2 ions; 2) ionic sodium chloride, NaCl(s) --> Na(+) + Cl(-) => 2 ions; 3) molecular sucrose, C12H22O11 (s) ---> C12H22O11(aq) => 1 molecule; 4) ionic phosphate, Na3PO4 --> 3Na(+) + PO4 (3-) => 4 ions; 5) ionic magnesium bromide, MgBr2 --> Mg(2+) + 2 Br(-) => 3 ions. <span>So, ionic phosphate produces the greatest number of particles and it will cause the greatest increase of the boiling point.</span><span />
The correct answer is A.
B is incorrect because that only applies to nuclear fission.
C is incorrect because it only applies to nuclear fusion.
D is incorrect because energy can be neither created nor destroyed meaning that this statement is physically impossible,
Explanation:
k so basically u gotta do 59/1000000 then multiply that by 972 which gives u 0.057348
