Answer:

B. Ionic Compound

Explanation:

An ionic compound is that compound which contains a positively charged ion called CATION and a negatively charged ion called ANION. The cation loses or transfers electrons to the anion, hence, making the former (cation) positive and the latter (anion) negative.

A polyatomic ion is an ion that contains more than one type of atom e.g OH-, NO3²-, CO3²- etc. A polyatomic ion usually has an overall charge formed from the charges of the individual atoms that makes it up. For example, in OH-, the overall charge is -1.

Since a polyatomic ion can have an overall positive or negative charge, it must enter a reaction with another ion that complements it i.e. a negative polyatomic ion will react with a positive ion to neutralize its charge. Hence, this forms an IONIC COMPOUND. This is why most compounds with polyatomic ions are IONIC COMPOUNDS.

For example, CaCO3 is an ionic compound formed when Ca²+ (cation) reacts with the polyatomic anion: CO3²-

How are heat, temperature, and thermal energy related?​
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Heat, temperature, and thermal energy are related because they all work with each other.

Explanation:

First of all, everything start's off with temperature. It starts off low. But when heat is added to it, it rises and the temperature goes up. This causes thermal energy to the objects touching it. The hotter it is the faster the particles move and the more kinetic energy they have.

Why is U-235 the most common nuclear fuel instead of the more abundant U-238? State a clear topic sentence and support it with e
GREYUIT [131]
<h3><u>Answer and explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>The isotope U-235 is an important common nuclear fuel because under certain conditions it can readily be split, yielding a lot of energy. It is therefore said to be 'fissile' and use the expression 'nuclear fission'.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Uranium 238 on the other hand is not fissionable by thermal neutrons, but it can undergo fission from fast or high energy neutrons. Hence it is not fissile, but it is fissionable.</u></em>
  • In a nuclear power station fissioning of uranium atoms replaces the burning of coal or gas.  Heat created by splitting the U-235 atoms is then used to make steam which spins a turbine to drive a generator, producing electricity.
