Answer: B -Network solids

Ionic solids are held by positive and negative charged ions bonded by electrostatic forces. The electrostatic force is much stronger than dipole–dipole interactions, London dispersion forces, hydrogen bonding.

Molecular solids are held by dipole–dipole interactions, London dispersion forces, or hydrogen bonds. Benzene is an example of this. These inter-molecular force are much weaker than electrostatic force.

The metallic bonds are much weaker than electrostatic force. Similarly, in non-metallic solids the atoms are held by covalent bonds. These covalent bonds are weaker than the electrostatic force.

Thus we can conclude that electrostatic force is the strongest when compared to  dipole–dipole interactions, London dispersion forces, hydrogen bonding,covalent and metallic bonds. Thus ionic solids will have the highest melting point as more energy is required to break the ionic bonds as this is the strongest bond compared to the other bonds.

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is B. network solid.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A network solid has the highest melting point.

The reason being that all of the atoms in this type of solid are covalently bonded to one another so the covalent bonds must be broken throughout the substance.

These covalent bonds holding the solid together are stronger than the ionic bonds. So it means that more heat energy is needed to break these bonds and therefore a higher temperature is required for it.

What does the nucleus do
mel-nik [20]
<span>The nucleus is the organelle present in eukaryotic cells with the main function in the control of all cell activities and maintaining the gene integrity. Namely, it contains the genetic material of the cell in the form of chromosomes (DNA molecules in complex with proteins). It is enclosed by the nuclear membrane which regulates the movement of proteins and RNA in and out of the nucleus.</span>

Why is it important to keep biodiversity in the food sysytem?
nignag [31]

Answer:

The food we humans eat every day throughout our lives comes from agricultural biodiversity.  Biodiversity is the basis of agriculture and our food systems. It has enabled farming systems to evolve since the origin of agriculture about 10,000 years ago.  Our civilization evolved when human beings started domesticating plants and animals.

Agricultural biodiversity includes all components of biological diversity of relevance to food and agriculture. It includes plants’ genetic resources: crops, wild plants harvested and managed for food, trees on farms, pastures and rangeland species, medicinal plants and ornamental plants of aesthetic value.  Animal genetic resources include domesticated animals, wild animals hunted for food, wild and farmed fish and other aquatic organisms, insect pollinators and microbial and fungal genetic resources.

Agricultural biodiversity provides humans with food, raw materials for goods such as: cotton and wool for clothing; wood for shelter and fuel; plants and roots for medicines; and materials for biofuels. Agricultural biodiversity also performs ecosystem services such as soil and water conservation, maintenance of soil fertility, conservation of biota and pollination of plants, all of which are essential for food production and for human survival.  In addition, genetic diversity of agricultural biodiversity provides species with the ability to adapt to changing environments and to evolve by increasing their adaptation to frost, high temperature, drought and waterlogging as well as their resistances to diseases, insects and parasites.

The importance of agricultural biodiversity encompasses socio-cultural, economic and environmental elements.  All domesticated crops and animals result from management of biodiversity, which is constantly responding to new challenges to maintain and increase productivity under constantly varying conditions and population pressures. Agricultural biodiversity is essential to satisfy basic human needs for food and livelihood security
