In the compound potassium nitrate (KNO3), the atoms within the nitrate ion are held together with COVALENT bonding, and the potassium ion and nitrate ion are held together by IONIC bonding.
A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs. Covalent bond is formed between two non-metals.
Ionic bonds form when one atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom. It is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between oppositely charged atoms. Ionic bond is formed between metal (electropositive element) and non-metal(electronegative element)
In nitrate ions the Nitrogen (N) and Oxygen (O) both are non-metals and it involves the sharing of electron pairs between N and O atoms, so the bonding in Nitrate (
) ion is covalent bonding.
In potassium nitrate , Potassium (K) is a metal and Nitrate () ion is non-metal and it involves the complete transfer of valence electron between oppositely charged atoms (K+) and (). So the bonding between Potassium and Nitrate is Ionic bonding.
NOTE : Bonding between Non-metals is Covalent bonding.
Bonding between Metal and Non-metals is Ionic bonding.

Explanation:
Given that the formula of the compound is Fe2O3, if a coefficient of 2 is placed in front of the formula, that is, if we write 2Fe2O3 . Then;
The number of Fe atoms becomes 2 *2 = 4
The number of oxygen atoms becomes 2*3 = 6
That is why the total number of iron atoms were written down as 4.
The answer is 3.25 x 10 -3 kg is not equal to 325 cg
THE DISTANCE IN TM SHOULD BE EQUAL TO 162 KM
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The major difference between distance and displacement is that distance is a scalar quantity while displacement is a vector quantity. Scalar quantities have magnitude without direction while vector quantities have both magnitude and direction.
The distance covered by Benjamina in both cases just refer to the difference in her position at each time without reference to the direction in which she changed her position.
Her displacement will clearly mention the direction in which she moved both when she walked to the front door of her apartment and when she walked to a friend's apartment.
