Answer: This option is incorrect: <span>B. Covalent compounds are held together by much stronger interparticle forces than are ionic compounds.
Justification:
Ionic bonds, held by ionic compounds, are much stronger than covalent bonds, held by covalent compounds.
In ionic bonds one element yields one or more electrons forming a cation (a positively charged ion) and the other element accepts the electrons forming an anion (a negatively charged ion).
The anion and the cation are electrostatically atracted by each other. This electrostatic atraction force, named ionic bond, is very strong.
As result of this, the ionic compounds form strong crystals with high boiling and fusion points. A good example of this the sodium chloride, formed by the union of cation Na(+) and anion Cl(-).
The covalent bonds are result of sharing electrons and do not form ions. This bond is weaker than the ionic bond.

Answer:
snow and very low temperatures are predicted for tomorrow.
Explanation:
snow and very low temperatures are associated with average weather condition of a place thus making it a statement about climate.
Answer:The change in concentration of a reactant or product per unit time
Explanation:
Answer:
Total protein range. The normal range for total protein is between 6 and 8.3 grams per deciliter (g/dL). This range may vary slightly among laboratories.
Explanation:
