The nicotine molecule cannot make ionic bonds. Change nicotine into a different molecule, one that can now can make ionic bonds.

See explanation

Explanation:

Nicotine is a covalent molecule. Recall that covalent molecules are not soluble in water and do not have any kind of ionic interaction.

Let us recall that nicotine contains a nitrogen atom having a lone pair of electrons. When nicotine reacts with HCl, this lone pair is protonated to form the ionic compound called nicotine hydrochloride.

C₁₀H₁₄N₂ + HCl > C₁₀H15N₂Cl

answer is: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

this is chemical change (chemical reaction), because two new substances are formed (metalig liquid and gas), the atoms are rearranged and the reaction is followed by an energy change.

this is example of chemical decomposition.

chemical decomposition (analysis) is the separation of a single chemical compound into its two or more elemental parts or to simpler compounds.  

chemical decomposition is opposite of chemical synthesis.
