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-

Firlakuza [10]
Sulfur trioxide (SO3) is a chemical compound that is a significant pollutant in gaseous form as it is involved in the production of acid rain. 

Industrially, sulfur trioxide is an important precursor to sulfuric acid and is formed from the reaction between sulfur dioxide (SO2) and oxygen gas (O2) as shown in the chemical equation below.

If you add 25.0 mL of water to 125 mL of a 0.150 M LiOH solution, what will be the molarity of the resulting diluted solution?
Alborosie

Concentration is the number of moles of solute in a fixed volume of solution

Concentration(c) = number of moles of solute(n) / volume of solution (v)

25.0 mL of water is added to 125 mL of a 0.150 M LiOH solution and solution becomes more diluted.

original solution molarity - 0.150 M

number of moles of LiOH in 1 L - 0.150 mol

number of LiOH moles in 0.125 L  - 0.150 mol/ L x 0.125 L = 0.01875 mol

when 25.0 mL is added the number of moles of LiOH will remain constant but volume of the solution increases

new volume -  125 mL + 25 mL = 150 mL

therefore new molarity is

c = 0.01875 mol / 0.150 L  = 0.125 M

answer is 0.125 M

What would happen to a diver who does no exhale while surfacing from a 30 m dive?
sertanlavr [38]
Their lungs would try to expand to about 4 timed the normal volume which would force air into the various body tissues. this can cause a lung expansion injury and it could case air embolism. Air embolism is when air bubbles get trapped in blood vessels. This can lead to a blockage which will could be fatal.

What types of atoms typically form covalent bonds?
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

In a covalent bond, the atoms bond by sharing electrons. Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals. For example, in water (H2O) each hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) share a pair of electrons to make a molecule of two hydrogen atoms single bonded to a single oxygen atom.
