Answer:

This statement is false.

Explanation:

Ionic bonds have relatively high melting and boiling points, compared to that of covalent bonds.

Ionic compounds have strong electrostatic bonds between oppositely charged ions. Covalent bonds, on the other hand, have weaker attractions between molecules.

Remember, the melting point, is simply the amount of heat (energy) it takes to break apart the molecular bonds. The stronger the bonds, the harder it will be to separate them!

Hope this helps! :)

What happens to an orbiting body if the eccentricity increases?

Softa [21]

Eccentricity of a body following an elliptical orbit defines how nearly circular the path of the object is. When the eccentricity of an orbiting body increases, it means that the body is moving in the most stretched out path.

In sheep, white wool is dominant over spotted wool. If 10 purebred white wool sheep (TT) are crossed

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for wool color in sheeps. The allele for white wool (TT) is dominant over the allele for spotted wool (tt). This means that a sheep with an heterozygous genotype (Tt) will be white-wooled.

In this cross, 10 purebred white wool sheep (TT) are crossed with 10 spotted wool sheep (tt). This will give rise to all offsprings with heterozygous genotype: Tt (see attached image for punnet square). Since, white wool (T) is dominant, all the offsprings will have a white wool and none i.e. 0 will have a spotted wool.
