ANSWER:
Physical chemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the physical structure of chemical compounds, the way they react with other matter and the bonds that hold their atoms together. An example of physical chemistry is nitric acid eating through wood.
Answer:
The first one
Explanation:
Elements are as simple as it gets
Ionic and covalent bonds are both strong intermolecular forces. They are generally both crystalline in structure. But relatively speaking, ionic bonds are much stronger. As a consequence, they have inherent properties of higher boiling points, higher melting points, lower volatility, etc. Also, ionic bonds display conductive properties because they are strong electrolytes. <em>Thus, the answer is 5) higher melting points.</em>
