Question

Use the information and table to answer the following question.

Scientists use either a melting år freezing point apparatus to determine the melting points of the following unknown compounds as part of
their investigation. Based on the melting points, the scientists determine the bond type and record the results in the table as shown.
Unknown Compound
Compound 1
Exhibits
Compound 2
Compound 3
Compound 4
Melting Point
772°C
17°C
960°C
-56°C
Which statement correctly identifies the ionic compounds and why?
A Compounds 1 and 3 are lonic. Because covalent compounds are composed of oppositely charged ions that are attracted to one
another, they require more energy to melt than ionic bonds.
O B. Compounds 2 and 4 are ionic. Because covalent compounds are composed of oppositely charged ions that are attracted to one
another, they require more energy to melt than ionic bonds.
C. Compounds 2 and 4 are ionic. Because ionic compounds are composed of oppositely charged ions that are attracted to one another,
they require more energy to melt than covalent bonds,
D. Compounds 1 and 3 are ionic. Because ionic compounds are composed of oppositely charged ions that are attracted to one another,
they require more energy to melt than covalent bonds.

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Compounds 1 and 3 are lonic.Because ionic compounds are composed of oppositely charged ions that are attracted to one another,

they require more energy to melt than covalent bonds. just usign he process of elimination you get rid of A and B becuase covalant compound contaIN same negatively charged particles that contain requrie less energy to melt and since two and four have low melting point its d

Answer 2
