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:
Both:
-They are both made up of cells embedded in an extracellular matrix. It is the nature of the matrix that defines the properties of these connective tissues.
Cartilage:
-Cartilage is thin, avascular, flexible and resistant to compressive forces.
-Cartilages are soft and flexible components present in ear, nose and joints.
Bone marrow:
-Bone is highly vascularised, and its calcified matrix makes it very strong.
-Bones are hard and tough which gives the structural framework of the skeleton in the body.
The compound is calcium carbonate
Answer: 82.0 g/mole
Explanation:
Use the units to see that if we divide 1.64 grams by 0.0200 moles, we'll get a number that is grams/mole, the definition of formula mass.
1.64/0.0200 = 82.0 g/mole (3 sig figs)
We can't tell from this alone what the molecular formula might be, but C6H10 (cyclohexene) comes close (82.1 grams/mole).
The correct answer is C : energy level.
As you can see in the image of the periodic table presented below, periods are the horizontal columns of the periodic table.
Elements belonging to the same period have the same electron shell, the same number of orbits filled with electrons.
Elements of the same period have similar chemical and physical characteristics
