No, water does not heat up or cool down faster than soil. This is because soil has lower specific heat. Specific heat is how long it takes for a substance to <span>heat up or cool down</span>
The electron dot diagram tells
us about how many electrons are being shared between atoms. Also, the number of
valence electron to be shared corresponds to the group number the element
belongs. Say for example H2O, hydrogen has one valence electron and oxygen has
two valence electrons.
Zirconium cannot be broken down by a chemical change, because it is an element. The others are all molecules.
