Answer:
The independent variable is what you change in the experiment.
Explanation:
The independent determines the dependent variable.
Ionic bonds are formed when there is complete transfer of valence electrons between two atoms.
Electronegativity tells the trend of an atom to atract electrons.
You should search for the complete set of rules that indicate whether an ionic or covalent bond happens.
There are two relevant rules to state if whether an ionic bond will happen:
- When the difference of electronegativities between the two atoms is greater than 2.0, then the bond is ionic.
- When the difference is between 1.6 and 2.0, the bond is ionic if one of the elements is a metal.
You need to list the electronegativities of the five elements (there are tables with this information)
Element electronegativity
Cu: 1.9
H: 2.2
Cl 3.16
I: 2.66
S: 2.58
Differences:
Cu / S: 2.58 - 1.9 = 0.68
H / S: 2.58 - 2.2 = 0.38
Cl / S: 3.16 - 2.58 =0.58
I / S: 2.66 - 2.58 = 0.08
Those differences are too low to consider that the bond is ionic.
Then the answer is that none of those atoms forms an ionic bond with sulfur.

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of energy, it is known that energy can neither be created nor it can be destroyed.
But energy can be changed from one form to another.
Whereas entropy is the degree of randomness present within the molecules of a substance or object.
For example, gas molecules are able to move rapidly so, they have more entropy as compared to solid and liquid substances.
According to second law of thermodynamics, entropy of the system is always increasing.
Thus, we can conclude that "Conservation of energy" refers to the fact that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.
