boiling point
r. bonding formed by the attraction of valence electrons for metal ions
ionic bonding
s. the volume occupied by a mole of any gas at STP
22.4 L
t. occurs when an unstable nucleus divides into two nuclei of roughly equal mass
nuclear fission
u. a reaction in which oxygen in limited supply reacts with another substance often producing heat or light
chemical reaction

  1. I believe that e is super saturated solution and I think that u is combustion reaction

  2. looks good other than u should be combustion reaction. a combustion reaction usually starts with a hydrocarbon, which is a compound with C and H or C,H,and O, bu it can also have other elements as well. Generlly in a combustion you will get the oxide of every element you burn other than oxgen.

  3. They are all correct, but "U", as the Sahil and Cate pointed out, U should be a combustion reaction, because when O and another element react together and create heat they usually produce a light which in most cases is probably fire.

  4. Madison your post look really good! I agree with everyone else that U should be a combustion reaction though. Overall great job and this helped me a lot.

  5. great job madison! however letter (i) should be nonmetals because covalent bonding occurs only between these. I don't believe atoms is the best fit, but great job with the rest!
