Answer:

Options A and C

Explanation:

In chemistry, an ionic compound is a chemical compound composed of ions held together by electrostatic forces termed ionic bonding. The compound is neutral overall, but consists of positively charged ions called cations and negatively charged ions called anions.

Option A - This is correct because In ionic compounds, electrons are tightly held by the ions, and the ions cannot move translationally relative to each other. This explains many properties of ionic solids. They are hard and brittle.

Option B and E - This is incorrect. Due to the electrons being tightly held and the ions not being able to move translationally,  they are not malleable or ductile (i.e. cannot be shaped without cracking/breaking).

Option C - Ionic compounds have high melting points because there is a strong electrostatic force of attraction between the oppositely charged ions and hence a large amount of energy is required to break the strong bonding force between ions. This option is correct.

Option D - Ionic cmpounds have High Boiling point so this option is wrong.

How do erosion and deposition work together to form sand dunes?
Leona [35]

Answer:

Erosion occurs through deflation, and sand that was picked up is deposited against an obstruction.

Explanation:

Erosion can be defined as a geological process which involves the wearing away of earth material and transportation of these material  to another location by Natural agents such as wind and water. Erosion involves removal of top soil, rocks and other earth particles by action of wind, glacier and water.

Wind causes erosion by deflation. Deflation is the actual removal of grain of rocks . Generally, it s the lowering of land surface that happens as a result of removal of surface particles(sands grains) by wind. Deflation is usually prevalent in arid areas. This sand can later be picked up and deposited to form sand dunes . Sand dunes are mounds of sand formed by wind . This sands are sheltered by an obstacle. And sand dunes are prevalent in desert and or along the beach. The sand dune grows as sand accumulate.

harina [27]

Answer: ATP Adenosine triphosphate

Explanation: During light reaction plants produce glucose and as well as ATP and NADPH as another products. Now during the Dark or light independent reaction there is no presence of light energy to fuel the process so ATP is used as an alternative to fix CO2 molecules.
