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: The weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute is 5.41 %.
Explanation:
Mass of the sodium sulfate,w = 9.74 g
Volume of the water = 165 mL
Density of the water = 1 g/mL
Mass of the water =
Mass of the solution, W:
Mass of solute + Mass of solvent =9.47 g + 165 g=174.47 g
The weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute is 5.41 %.
<span>The atmosphere is a thin layer of gases that surrounds the Earth. It seals the planet and protects us from the vacuum of space. It protects us from electromagnetic radiation given off by the Sun and small objects flying through space such as meteoroids.</span><span>
So it's like a blanket protecting us but it has air hole/patches where sunlight can get through</span>
They're based on hydrogen.
