[ this is 4 marks, please provide a good answer ]
[ giving brainliest + thanks on profile ]

Answers

Answer 1
Why does magnesium oxide have a high melting point?

Sodium oxide has a high melting point because of the strength ofits bonds. Due to having strong bonds, they cannot be broken veryeasily. Magnesium chloride is ionic compound. There is a strong electrostatic force of attraction between 2 chloride atoms and 1 magnesium atom.

Because it retains its strength at very high temperatures. It is considered a refractory material with a melting point of 6500 degrees F. It is also very non-reactive with other materials that might be put into the furnace and is even used to make crucibles - containers used to melt other substances.

Answer 2
Magnesium oxide has very strong ionic bonds, as compared to other salts like potassium oxide or sodoum chloride.

The strength of ionic bonds usually depends on two factors - ionic radius and charge. Mg+2
and O−2 have charges of +2 and -2 respectively. This is larger than the charges of other ions like Na+ or NO-3. Magnesium ions and oxygen ions also have small ionic radius. Magnesium is in period 3 so its ion is smaller than that of calcium or barium. Oxygen ion is smaller than sulfide and fluoride. The smaller the ionic radii, the smaller the bond length and the stronger the bond. Therefore the ionic bond between magnesium and oxygen is very strong.

Is the Artic considered a desert? why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

Both, much of the artic is a desert including the artic basin, Canadian Artic Archipelgo, and the north pole because the average precipitation is between 150-250mm. This is below 250mm which is the agreed level to be considered a desert.

Why will a sound wave travel through a solid more quickly than through a gas?
Group of answer choices

The particles in a gas are close together, which means the vibrations of the sound wave transmit more slowly.

Answer:

Good answer below, just adding on

Explanation:

Runoff of chemical products, animal waste, and especially human waste products such as different types of trash like scrap metals and plastic greatly increase water pollution. Additionally, oil leaks and spills can also lead to severe water pollution. As a general statement I'd say that human activities that are not monitored and are either directly dumped into water ways or are caught in run off cause water pollution.
