A. Molecular solids tend to have lower melting points than Ionic so it would be Ionic if it weren't for Molecular.

Answer:

A. Molecular solids

Explanation:

Bonds between two or more molecules is the force of attraction between the molecules. If the force of attraction is strong between the molecules then the matter must be solid.

If the force of attraction is very weak then in that case the material is liquid and for more weak force we can say that the material is gas.

So here melting point depends on the force of attraction in which if the force is more then the melting point must be high. So here for lowest melting point we need to find a material in which the force of attraction is weak.

So out of all given option the weak attraction force is only in

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Acceleration, $a=3.6\times 10^{16}\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that, two isolated protons are separated by 2 nm. The force due to charged particles is given by :

$F_e=\dfrac{kq^2}{d^2}$

Force due to mass of proton, $F_g=ma$

$ma=\dfrac{kq^2}{d^2}$

$a=\dfrac{kq^2}{md^2}$

$a=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{1.6\times 10^{-27}\times (2\times 10^{-9})^2}$

$a=3.6\times 10^{16}\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of two isolated protons is $3.6\times 10^{16}\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Why are there so few working wave power stations?

Bond [772]

Well mostly because it's for oceans and lakes that have waves. so if you don't live near any of these, you wouldn't be getting power. <span />

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

Two long parallel wires each carry the same current I in the same direction. The magnetic field in wire 1 is given by :

$B_1=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1}{2\pi r}$

Magnetic force acting in wire 2 due to 1 is given by :

$F_{2}=I_2lB_1$

$F_2=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2 l}{2\pi r}$

Similarly, force acting in wire 1 is given by :

$F_1=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2 l}{2\pi r}$ According to third law of motion, the force acting in wire 1 will be in opposite direction to wire 2 as :

$F_2=-F_1$

So, the total magnetic field at the point P midway between the wires is in what direction will be zero as the the direction of forces are in opposite direction.
