Answer:

C. high melting point

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are formed by complete transfer of electronic from one to another atoms. The compound having ionic bonds generally have high boiling points and melting point because of greater electrostatic interaction. Their electrical conductivity are high and these minerals tend to dissolve in water.

For example an ionic compound sodium chloride has melting point 800°C .

While,

Covalent bonds are formed as a result of sharing of electrons between atoms. These compounds are insoluble , hard, having low melting and boiling points and have low conductivity.

The metallic bond is formed when metals are present. Due to loosely bound electrons of metals, electrons are shared with the other atoms. As this is a weak bond so these materials have low melting and boiling points.

How will adding NaCl affect the freezing point of a solution?
lord [1]

Answer is: adding NaCl will lower the freezing point of a solution.

A solution (in this example solution of sodium chloride) freezes at a lower temperature than does the pure solvent (deionized water).

The higher the solute concentration (sodium chloride), freezing point depression of the solution will be greater.

Equation describing the change in freezing point:  

ΔT = Kf · b · i.

ΔT - temperature change from pure solvent to solution.

Kf - the molal freezing point depression constant.

b -  molality (moles of solute per kilogram of solvent).

i - Van’t Hoff Factor.

Dissociation of sodium chloride in water: NaCl(aq) →  Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Is the source an authority on the subject?

Explanation:

To figure out which source is accurate, you want to find out the source's authority on the subject. For  example, if you wanted to learn how to play the piano, you wouldn't go to a dance teacher, you would go to someone who knows how to play the piano. The person who knows how to play the piano has more authority to teach the piano than a dance teacher.
