Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Halite dissolves relatively easily because it forms from ionic bonds of elements that only have a charge value of one. Weak attraction results from lopsided distribution of electrons; positive ends of the water molecule (H+) are attracted to and dislodge the anions (Cl-) and the negative ends of the water molecule (O-) are attracted to and dislodge the cations (Na+). Water keeps the ions separated. In contrast, bonds in quartz are mostly covalent.
