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-

We are given with the following pairs:
<span>carbon and oxygen
hydrogen and helium
gold and silver
and we are asked if there is a pair that will produce the same spectrum. The answer is
</span>No two elements produce the same spectrum.This is because a light spectrum is unique to each element.

when 45 grams of copper (ii) carbonate are decomposed with heat how many grams of carbon dioxide will be produced
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

16.02 g

Explanation:

the balanced equation for the decomposition of CuCO₃ is as follows

CuCO₃ --> CuO + CO₂

molar ratio of CuCO₃ to CO₂ is 1:1

number of CuCO₃ moles decomposed - 45 g / 123.5 g/mol = 0.364 mol

according to the molar ratio

1 mol of CuCO₃ decomposes to form 1 mol of CO₂

therefore 0.364 mol of  CuCO₃ decomposes to form 0.364 mol of CO₂

number of CO₂ moles produced - 0.364 mol

therefore mass of CO₂ produced - 0.364 mol x 44 g/mol = 16.02 g

16.02 g of CO₂ produced

02. Using Tables 1 to 3, what pattern do you observe in terms of the phase and number of carbon atoms of the alkanes, alkenes, a
BabaBlast [244]

Hey there mate ;), Im Benjemin and lets solve your question.

★ (Alkanes) : forms single bonds between carbon atoms.

The first four elements are gases and others are liquid in state.

★(Alkenes) : forms double bonds between carbon atoms.

The first three alkenes are gases and rest are liquid.

★ (Alkynes) : forms triple bonds between carbon atoms.

First three are gases and the last one is liquid.

According to boiling point :

The larger structure of the hydrocarbons, the higher the boiling points they have.

In the 3 tables, we can see that the boiling point increases.
