Which statement best explains why Earth’s outer core is in liquid form? The iron-nickel alloy melts due to hot temperatures. The outer core has a tarry consistency. This region is less dense when compared to the mantle. This region is under extreme pressure from the weight of other layers.

Idon't mean to be a smart alec, length of atoms' bonds is the simplest way to define it.

According to arrhenius theory of acid and bases, an acid is a proton donor, while base donates hydroxyl ions. further, acid and base reacts to form salt and water.consider following example.hcl    +      h2o          →      cl-          +      h3o+here, hcl has donated a proton, hence it is an acid.now consider following reactionhcl      +      naoh            ↔      nacl      +        h2oin this reaction, hcl donates proton, hence it is acid. on other hand, naoh donates hydroxyl ion (i.e. hence it is a base.
