The correct answer among the choices listed above is option D. The average kinetic energy of water molecules as water freeze <span>decreases as water releases energy to its surroundings. Energy is released as the molecules go into a more condensed phase which is the solid.</span>
Answer:
Na has the most similar configuration.
Explanation:
Na electron configuration: 1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹ or [Ne] 3s₁
Mg electron configuration: 1s²2s²2p⁶3s² or [Ne] 3s²
Be electron configuration: 1s²2s² or [He] 2s²
This is because Na and Mg are right next to each other in the same period (horizontal).
Polar covalent bond- a bond where atoms are unevenly shared due to a larger difference in electronegativity of the bonded elements.
Non-polar covalent bond- These are bonds between elements with a low difference in electronegativity. Electrons are shared equally in these bonds between the elements.
Ionic bonds- have such large difference in electronegativity that they take/give electrons to the element they are bonded to. They do not share electrons at all. Bonds between a non-metal and a metal.
It is dissolved in the salute.
