Answer:

They are called "loess".

Explanation:

The loess (German word from Switzerland), are sedimentary clay deposits of wind origin. It is formed by silt deposits originated by the deposition of microscopic particles, which are transported by dust storms. They are yellowish. They are formed mainly by silicates, calcium carbonate and minerals from the clay group. It constitutes a very fertile and deep soil. The silt and clay are only visible through the microscope.

The correct answer to your question would be B) Loess, or Aeolian deposits , reasoning to your question is because, loess is a german word but in english means loss or loose. So given that clay and small particles that are not combined together are loose particles. moves freely. Hope this helps you out.

Answer:

1. Ionic bond

2. High melting point and high boiling point for ionic bonds while covalent bonds have low melting and boiling point.

3. The similarity is that ionic and covalent bonding lead to the creation of stable molecules.

4. 4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3

5. It uses the process of fission.

6. Fission involves the splitting of radioactive elements into smaller particles/compounds while Fusion involves combining of two or more atomic nuclei to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles.

7. Nuclear power plants produce little to no greenhouse gas.

Nuclear power plants produce a large amount of energy for a small mass of fuel.

Nuclear is less expensive.

2. What effect does adding a neutron have on the atom’s mass?

anyanavicka [17]

It does, however, change the mass of the nucleus. Adding or removing neutronsfrom the nucleus are how isotopes are created. Protons carry a positive electrical charge and they alone determine the charge of the nucleus.

Sodium borodeuteride is a commercially available reducing reagent that can convert aldehydes and ketones to the corresponding al

kupik [55]

Here we have to draw the mechanism of the reduction reaction between benzaldehyde and sodium borodeuteride to form the corresponding alcohol.

The reducing agent sodium borodeuteride can reduce the aldehydes to its corresponding alcohol. The reaction mechanism is shown in the attached image.

The reaction mechanism can be explained as-

The sodium borodeuteride is highly ionic in nature thus it remains as Na⁺ and BD₄⁻ The deuterium atom of BD₄⁻ attack the carbonyl carbon atom and substitute one of its deuterium as shown in the figure.

One molecule of sodium borodeuteride can reduce four molecules of benzaldehyde. The polar solvent like alcohol donates the proton as shown in the mechanism.

The converted alcohol contains the deuterium atom at the -C center. Thus benzaldehyde is converted to deuteroted benzyl alcohol.
