The students have decided to test how removing the reflective lid will affect the efficiency of the solar cooker. Explain how this change will impact the transfer of thermal energy in the solar cooker design and describe one possible design improvement the students can make to compensate for this change. ​

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
