Answer:

<u>the forces of attraction are weak</u>

Explanation:

Particles are held together by forces of attraction between molecules e.g., covalent, van der waals and hydrogen bonds. Such type of forces are easily denatured by slight increase in temperature. The solid nature of the compound melts to liquid form. The size of the molecule determines the amount of intermolecular forces available. Smaller molecules have fewer intermolecular forces compared to larger ones thus the melting point is low. Larger molecules have more intermolecular forces that require more energy to break.

Explain why fertilizer use by farmers can have negative effects on aquatic ecosystems?

CaHeK987 [17]

The fertilizers used by farmers can have negative effects on aquatic ecosystems because there is every possibility that the runoffs from the fields can create an algal bloom in the nearby water body. This algal bloom can have a very negative effect on the living organisms of the aquatic body. I hope it helps.

Determine whether the statement is true or false, and why. “If a point mutation occurs in a tumor gene it can become activated.

solmaris [256]

Answer: A. False, it should read “If a point mutation occurs in a tumor suppressor gene it can become inactivated. This allows the rate of cell division to increase unregulated.”

Explanation: I already know this for a fact.
