Answer:
C. Y & Z
Explanation:
V, W are imaginary metals here because their valence electrons are typically less than 4. X, Y, Z are non-metals and have higher valence electrons. Here, if V or W bind with X, Y, or Z we make ionic bond (because metal + non metal = ionic). But, if X binds with Y or Z or any combinations of any two of the three non-metals results in covalent bond (non metal + non metal = covalent).
Thus, Y and Z make covalent.
Mg+Cl2--> MgCl2
Magnesium plus chlorine equals magnesium chloride
<span>Same answer, different setup. We know that the sum of the oxidation numbers is zero for a compound and the ionic charge for a polyatomic ion, and we know that sulfite ion is -2.
Create an algebraic equation by multiplying the subscripts times the oxidation number of a single element.
+x -6 = -2
+x -2
S O3
Solve for x
x = +4</span>
Answer:
It has been approximately 6 hours after death.
Explanation:
This is because between 2-6 hours after death, the body starts becoming stiff from top to bottom, then spreading to the limbs. Since there is only rigor in his upper body, that would mean that with normal temperature and body conditions, it would be 4 or 5 hours after death. But since he is obese and in cold temperature, there is slower progression of rigor, leading to the maximum time in the first rigor mortis phase, 6 hours.
