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.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
