Option B: Strength of chemical bonds
Hardness defines the strength, it can not be compared with surface roughness as a smooth surface can be harder or difficult to break than a rough surface. The mass and weight of a substance matters while comparing density of substance or how heavy it is but it is not directly proportional to the hardness of the substance. Thus, equal masses of two substance can not be considered equally hard. Hardness depends on the inter-molecular interaction or forces within a substance, if the inter-molecular interactions are strong or the strength of chemical bonds is strong then the substance is more hard.
Therefore, hardness is directly proportional to strength of the chemical bonds.
Answer:
The answer to your question is below
Explanation:
ionic compounds covalent compounds
1.- Mass it does not depend on the type of compound
2.- Conductivity -conduct electricity - do not conduct electricity
in solution.
3.- Color - Shiny - opaque
4.- Melting point - high - lower than ionic compounds
5.- Boiling point - high - lower than ionic compounds
6.- flammability - not flammable - flammable
Answer: The energy of a wave is directly proportional to its frequency, but inversely proportional to its wavelength. In other words, the greater the energy, the larger the frequency and the shorter (smaller) the wavelength.
