11.
Which statement explains why the melting point of perovskite is 1980°C?
a)

The melting point of perovskite is 1980°C because the Coulombic attraction between atoms holds them closely together.

b)

The melting point of perovskite is 1980°C because the sharing of electrons between atoms holds them closely together.

c)

The melting point of perovskite is 1980°C because the sharing of electrons between atoms holds them far away from each other.

d)

The melting point of perovskite is 1980°C because the Coulombic attraction between atoms holds them far away from each other.
