Why small covalent substances have different properties from macro molecules? • Simple covalent substances will only contain a few atoms that are held by strong covalent bonds for example co2 the molecules contain one atom of carbon that is bonded with 2 oxygen atoms. The intermolecular forces causes the small covalent structures to have a low melting/boiling points, they don’t conduct electricity because they don’t have any free electrons or an electric charge overall. • Macro molecules will…

Adding the risk-free government securities would result in a lower beta for the new portfolio. The new portfolio beta will be a weighted average of the individual security betas in the portfolio; the presence of the risk-free securities would lower that weighted average. q. The comment is not correct. Although the respective standard deviations and expected returns for the two securities under consideration are equal, the covariances between each security and the original portfolio…
