The correct option is A.
Climate refers to the long time pattern of weather condition in a particular area. Climate is measured by assessing the patterns of variation in temperature, relative humidity, wind, atmospheric pressure, precipitation and other meteorological variables in a given area over a long period of time.<span />
Metallic bonding
The particles in a metal are held together by metallic bonds.
High melting and boiling points
Metallic bonds are strong and a lot of energy is needed to break them. This is why metals have high melting points and boiling points.
Conducting electricity
Metals contain electrons that are free to move in the metal structure, carrying charge from place to place and allowing metals to conduct electricity well.
Metallic bonding - Higher tier
Metallic bonding is the strong attraction between closely packed positive metal ions and a 'sea' of delocalised electrons.
Hey there
Thats easy
Precipitation occurs when cations and anions in aqueous solution combine to form an insoluble ionic compound called precipitation. So, you can refer to a solubility chart or draw polar/nonpolar lewis structures, that might be helpful.
Remember water is polar so polar molecules will dissolve in water
Nonane (b) has the highest melting point.
-----------------------------
A caveat: I'm assuming that we're dealing with the straight-chain isomers of these alkanes (specifically pentane and nonane). The straight-chain isomer of pentane (<em>n</em>-pentane, CH3-[CH2]3-CH3) has a melting point of -129.8 °C; the straight-chain isomer of nonane (<em>n-</em>nonane, CH3-[CH2]7-CH3) has a melting point of -53.5 °C. The pattern holds as you go down (or up): The more carbon atoms, the higher the melting point. So, in decreasing order of melting points here, you'd have the following: nonane > pentane > butane > ethane.
However, one structural isomer of pentane, neopentane, has a melting point of -16.4 °C, which is <em>higher </em>that the melting point of <em>n</em>-nonane despite neopentane having the same molecular formula as its straight-chain isomer. Of course, you're not to blame for coming up with this question; this is just some extra info to keep in mind.
