Briefly discuss three physical properties of ionic solids that are linked to ionic bonds.

Firstly, Ionic solids can't conduct electricity, this is because of the close packed structure partly caused by the strong attraction between the delocalised electrons and the positively charged ions in the lattice structure (the close packed structure is also partially due to the fact it is in a solid state, it's not just solely to the ionic bonds). As the structure is so close packed, the ions are not free to move so electricity cannot be conducted. 
Secondly, high melting and boiling points (counts as a physical property as it can be observed)  as there is high attraction between the oppositely charged entities in the ionic lattice, added to by the sheer number of ionic bonds and resulting electrostatic attraction in a lattice (aka strong and plentiful ionic bonds) mean lots of energy is needed to overcome these bonds in order to change state.
Thirdly, they are usually hard and brittle as the lattice is a huge structure that is held rigidly in place by the strong electrostatic attraction arising from the ionic bonds.

Which statement describes the relationship between the scientific method in the scientific process
Oksana_A [137]

Answer: The methodology is the science that addresses these issues.

Explanation:

There are several steps to exploring to obtain valid scientific results. The scientific method is one of those elements. The scientific method involves specific steps that need to be taken to begin the scientific process adequately. By the scientific method, we also mean the hypothesis or assumption that needs to be put in the paper to try to defend it later and in fact. By scientific process, we suggest the following steps we take after evaluating a hypothesis. The scientific method is the very making of a particular scientific work, that is, its central part.

How do the mass and height of an object affect the gravitational potential energy?
marin [14]

Answer:

B. mass and height have the same effect on gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

Both mass and height have the same effect on the gravitational potential energy of body.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy of a body due to that of another body. It usually the energy at rest in a body.

It is mathematically expressed as;

 G.P.E  = m x g x h

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

We see that both the height and mass are directly proportional to the gravitational potential energy and as such, they have the same effect.
