Question
Generally the ionic compounds have high melting points.
✓
Answer
(i) Ionic compounds are formed when an atom of a combining metal element transfers its electrons to the atom of another non metallic element.
(ii) Thus ionic bonds are formed between the ions during compound formation.
(iii) Due to presence of ions, there is a strong electrostatic attraction between the molecules.
(iv) Hence to break these inter - molecular bonds a lot of energy is needed.
(v) Hence ionic compounds have high melting points.

A person first crossed pure-bred pea plants having round-yellow seeds with pure-bred pea plants having wrinkled-green seeds and found that only $A-B$ type of seeds were produced in the $F_1$ generation. When $F_1$ generation pea plants having $A-B$ type of seeds were cross-bred by self-pollination, then in addition to the original round-yellow and wrinkled-green seeds, two new varieties $A-D$ and $C-B$ type of seeds were also obtained.
→- What are $A-B$ type of seeds$?$
- State whether $A$ and $B$ are dominant traits or recessive traits.

Water and dissolved minerals get into the root hair of a plant by a process called A and enter the conducting tissue B. The process C helps the water and dissolved minerals to move up through the tissue B in roots and stem, and reach the leaves of a plant. In the leaves food is made by a process D. This food is then transported to all the parts of a plant through tissue E. The process of distributing food made in the leaves to all the parts of the plants is called F.
