It is a true fact that ionic crystals are excellent insulators and can hold a large amount of heat before melting or boiling. The correct option among the two options that are given in the question is the first option. Salt is a great example of ionic crystals and we know that it takes a huge amount of time to melt or boil.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
A dense substance that is hard and incompressible
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- <em><u>Crystals are solids that are made up of particles such as molecules, atoms or ions, </u></em>which are arrange in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice which extends in all directions.
- Examples of crystals include<em><u> quartz,</u></em> that is made up of silicon (iV) oxide molecules that are arranged in a lattice,<u><em>table salt</em></u> is another example that is made up of sodium and chloride ions that are arranged in a lattice
- Crystals are very ordered, they may be made up of atoms of the same elements or atoms of different elements such as in the case of table salt.
The answer is competition. It's competition because they are protecting their territory, so their way of protecting or fighting for their territory is to urinate on their territory. By a way of showing that they don't want nobody in their territory.
