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.

Gas in a balloon occupies 3.3 L. What volume will it occupy if the pressure is changed from 100.0 kPa to 90.0 kPa (at constant t
german
Since the temperature is a constant, we can use Boyle's law to solve this.<span>

<span>Boyle' law says "at a constant temperature, the pressure of a fixed amount of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume.

P α 1/V               </span>⇒                 PV = k (constant)<span>

Where, P is the pressure of the gas and V is the volume.

<span>Here, we assume that the </span>gas in the balloon is an ideal gas. 

We can use Boyle's law for these two situations as,
            P</span>₁V₁ = P₂V₂<span>

P₁ = 100.0 kPa = 1 x 10⁵ Pa
V₁ = 3.3 L
P₂ = 90.0 x 10³ Pa
V₂ =?

By substitution,
    1 x 10⁵ Pa x 3.3 L = 90 x 10³ Pa x V₂</span><span>
                            V</span>₂ = 3.7 L<span>
</span><span>Hence, the volume of gas when pressure is 90.0 kPa is 3.7 L.</span></span>
