Answer:
Scientists believe that convection circulation within the mantle helps continents to move. As heat from Earth's innermost layer—the core—transfers to the bottom layer of mantle rock, the rock warms, softens, and rises upward. ... This churning motion in the mantle appears to be a major factor in plate movement.

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-
Density = mass/volume = 80 g/10cm³ = 8 g/cm³
Answer:
a. 63.2%
b. 11.7%
c. 73.3%
d. 0.995%
e. 55.5%
Explanation:
An ionic compound is a compound that is formed by ions, so one of the elements must donate electrons (which is the cation, the positive ion), and the other will receive these electrons (which is the anion, the negative ion).
The power of an element has to attract the electrons is called electronegativity, and so, as higher is the difference of electronegative of the elements, it is more probable that one of them will "still" the electrons and will form an ionic compound. The percent of this ionic character can be found by the Pauling's equation:
*100%
Where 
is the electronegativity difference of the elements. Thus, consulting an electronegativity table:
a. 
= 1.5
= 3.5
*100%
%IC = 63.2%
b. 
= 1.6
= 2.1
*100%
%IC = 11.7%
c. 
= 0.7
= 3.0
*100%
%IC = 73.3%
d. 
= 1.7
= 1.9
*100%
%IC = 0.995 %
e. 
= 1.2
= 3.0
*100%
%IC = 55.5%
