Answer :
Explanation :

In most cases, you will have no idea who you are competing with for a particular job. So this type of question really gives you a chance to open-up your strengths as a candidate with an emphasis on any assets that might separate you from the typical applicant. Think about what you bring to the table that you truly believe is unique - the easiest way to do is to think of your own personal stories that demonstrate your work ethic, skills, and dedication. Most people have some or all of those skills, but the unique stories are what make people stand out in interviews.

Answer : 3. "200"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 200 Explanation: 18 tens 20 ones, the given stateent can be split into 18 tens = 18 x 10 = 180 20 ones = 20 x 1 = 20   Then add both => 180 + 20 = 200   Hence, 18 tens 20 ones = 200.

Answer : 4. "Covalent- network"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Covalent- network Explanation: Graphite is a covalent-network type of crystalline solid.   There are two main categories of solids. 1. Crystalline solids and 2. Amorphous solids. Crystalline solids are those in which the atoms, ions, or molecules that make up the solid exist in a regular, well-defined arrangement. There are four types of crystalline solids : Ionic solids :— Made up of positive and negative ions and held together by electrostatic attractions. They’re characterized by very high melting points and brittleness and are poor conductors in the solid state. An example of an ionic solid is table salt, NaCl. Molecular solids :— Made up of atoms or molecules held together by London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces, or hydrogen bonds. Characterized by low melting points and flexibility and are poor conductors. An example of a molecular solid is sucrose. Covalent-network (also called atomic) solids :— Made up of atoms connected by covalent bonds; the intermolecular forces are covalent bonds as well. Characterized as being very hard with very high melting points and being poor conductors. Examples of this type of solid are diamond and graphite, and the fullerenes. As you can see below, graphite has only 2-D hexagonal structure and therefore is not hard like diamond. The sheets of graphite are held together by only weak London forces! Metallic solids :— Made up of metal atoms that are held together by metallic bonds. Characterized by high melting points, can range from soft and malleable to very hard, and are good conductors of electricity.
