People call water a 'universal solvent' because it is capable of dissolving more<span> substances than any other liquid. I think</span> it could<span> can be a major problem if every substance was readily soluble by water or any solvent. If so, it would mean that there is nothing that could contain water if it was not completely saturated with another solute. All in all, t</span><span>he idea of a universal solvent would be just impossible to imagine.</span>

Compounds with high melting points have _____
solong [7]

Answer:

C) Ionic bonds

Explanation:

The ionic bonds are the strongest bond, it occurs when a metal donates electrons and a nonmetal gain these electrons. They'll be together by electrostatic force.

Metallic bonds it the second strongest bond, it occurs between metals, which loses electrons. It's an electrostatic force, but weaker than the ionic compound because it occurs between the cation and the electron.

Covalent bonds are the weakest bond. It happens between metals and nonmetals, or nonmetals and hydrogen or between atoms of hydrogen. The force that joins the atoms depends on the polarity of the molecule. Polar molecules have dipole forces, nonpolar molecules, induced dipole forces. Also, hydrogen makes special dipole forces with nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine, called hydrogen bond.

As the stronger is the force, as difficult it will be to break it. So, ionic bonds will demand more energy to become gas, and have high melting points.
