A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by what kind of bond?

48% Answer Correctly

molecular

ionic

chemical

covalent


Solution

A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.


3

The energy posessed by a thrown baseball is an example of what kind of energy?

79% Answer Correctly

transitional

potential

gravitational

kinetic


Solution

Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.


4

68% Answer Correctly

radiation

convection

conduction

reflection


Solution

Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)
