Answer:

A. When water moves into a crack and freezes, it expands and forces the crack wider.

Explanation:

A crack in a rock can fill with water which then freezes as the temperature drops. As the ice expands, it pushes the crack apart, making the crack larger. When the temperature rises again, the ice melts, and the water fills the newer parts of the crack. Once the water freezes again when the temperature drops, the expansion of the ice causes further expansion to the crack.

Draw the Lewis dot structure for RbIO2. Include all hydrogen atoms and nonbonding electrons. Show the formal charges of all atom

Rzqust [24]

Answer : The Lewis-dot structure of $RbIO_2$ is shown below.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $RbIO_2$

As we know that rubidium has '1' valence electrons, iodine has '7' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $RbIO_2$ = 1 + 7 + 2(6) = 20

As we know that $RbIO_2$ is an ionic compound because it is formed by the transfer of electron takes place from metal to non-metal element.
