Answer: This option is incorrect: <span>B. Covalent compounds are held together by much stronger interparticle forces than are ionic compounds.
Justification:
Ionic bonds, held by ionic compounds, are much stronger than covalent bonds, held by covalent compounds.
In ionic bonds one element yields one or more electrons forming a cation (a positively charged ion) and the other element accepts the electrons forming an anion (a negatively charged ion).
The anion and the cation are electrostatically atracted by each other. This electrostatic atraction force, named ionic bond, is very strong.
As result of this, the ionic compounds form strong crystals with high boiling and fusion points. A good example of this the sodium chloride, formed by the union of cation Na(+) and anion Cl(-).
The covalent bonds are result of sharing electrons and do not form ions. This bond is weaker than the ionic bond.

Answer:
What best describes the concept of weight is the force on an object due to its mass and gravity.
Explanation:
Weight is the force with which gravity pulls a body or object towards the earth. It is a physical unit that involves both the force of gravity and the mass that an object has.
In general, the terms mass and weight are different, being the mass a characteristic of the body -without influence of other factors- and the weight is the force with which the gravity pushes the mass of that same body.
Regarding the other options:
- <em>The amount of space an object takes up
, corresponds to the volume of a body.</em>
- <em>The amount of matter in an object
, corresponds to the mass.</em>
- <em>The force on an object due to its speed and location, is related to the movement of a body.</em>
Answer:
60 mph (miles per hour)
Explanation:
0.5 hours is 1/2 of an hour, so to get the number of miles for a whole hour you multiply the miles ran by 2.
30 times 2 is 60.
They do this so that when you drink it or use it the contaminates that used to be in it dont make you sick
Answer:
Two tectonic plates had the same density and a collision of the plates pushed the advancing plate that contained fossilized marine organisms upward forming the Himalayan mountains and Mount Everest.
