<h2>Answer:</h2>

The substance with high electronegativity difference have high melting point.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Electronegativity:

                             It is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.

  • Higher the electronegativity higher the potential to attract electron pair.
  • So element with high electronegativity difference in elements tend to acquire the partial ions, attracting each other strongly.
  • Hence more strong bonds substances would have highest melting points.

Electronegativity is the ability of an element to attract electrons towards itself during bonding. Compounds with a metal and nonmetal that have a great electronegativity difference would result to a much stronger intermolecular force. Its effect on the melting point is to increase it further because it takes greater energy to break these bonds. <em>So, the higher the electronegativity difference, the higher the melting point.</em>

The age of fossils can sometimes be determined by radiometric dating, which is based on the constant rate of decay of radioactiv
True [87]
The age of the fossil given the present amount of Carbon-14 is given in the equation,
                               A(t) = A(o)(0.5)^t/h
where A(t) is the current amount, A(o) is the initial amount, t is time and h is the half-life. Substituting the known values to the equation,
                       A(t) / A(o) = 0.125 = (0.5)^(t/5730)
The value of t from the equation is 17190.
Thus, the age of the fossil is mostly likely to be 17190 years old.

How many electrons may be accommodated in the first three energy levels?
viktelen [127]
Each shell can contain only a fixed number of electrons: The first shell can hold up to two electrons, the second shell can hold up to eight (2 + 6) electrons, the third shell can hold up to 18 (2 + 6 + 10) and so on. Some points will be nice
