Water contributes to the fitness of the environment to support life by acting as a Solvent for molecules to interact Moderate Earth's climate.

Water contributes to the fitness of the environment to support life in several ways :

  • Life on Earth began in water and evolved there for 3 billion years before colonizing the land.
  • Even terrestrial organisms are tied to water.
  • Most cells are surrounded by water.
  • Cells are about 70–95% water.
  • Water is a reactant in many of the chemical reactions of life.
  • Water is the only common substance that exists in the natural world in all three physical states of matter: solid ice, liquid water, and water vapour.
  • Water stabilizes air temperatures by absorbing heat from warmer air and releasing heat to cooler air.
  • Water can absorb or release relatively large amounts of heat with only a slight change in its own temperature.
  • Water’s high heat of vaporization moderates climate.
  • Much of the sun’s heat absorbed by tropical oceans is used for evaporation of surface water.
  • Water is unusual because it is less dense as a solid than as a cold liquid.
  • Most materials contract as they solidify, but water expands.
  • At temperatures above 4°C, water behaves like other liquids, expanding as it warms and contracting as it cools.
  • Water begins to freeze when its molecules are no longer moving vigorously enough to break their hydrogen bonds.
  • When water reaches 0°C, water becomes locked into a crystalline lattice, with each water molecule bonded to a maximum of four partners.

Which of the following atoms has six valence electrons? (2 points)
irakobra [83]

The correct answer is Sulfur (S).


Sulfur has 6 valence electrons because it is located in Group 16 (or the sixth group over if you don’t count the transition metals). This means that one atom of sulfur has 6 electrons in its outermost shell out of 8 total “spots”, which you can count by counting the group numbers (excluding the transition metals) from Group 1 (with one valence electron) to Group 18 (the noble gases with full valence or outer shells).


By this same logic, Carbon (C) has 4 valence electrons and Cesium (Cs) has 1 valence electron, so neither of these is the correct answer.


Hope this helps!

How do i find the square root of a number
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Using the Guess Method

Explanation:

Finding the square root of a number is an automatic action in tools such as calculator and Excel without any rationale behind it. Hence, I find it more useful to describe as I learned at school: the guess and approach method (it can go by various other names).

The square root of a number is ‘a number which produces a specified quantity when multiplied by itself’.  

The Guess Method is guessing that number by approximation until getting exactly the right one.

For example, we want to know the square root of, let’s say, 144. We know that 10*10 is 100. That’s close. Let’s add 1 to that. 11*11 is 121. Getting closer! 12*12 is… 144! Right on! Therefore, the square root of 144 is 12.

I used that technique every time I had to do the math by hand, no matter the number. I thought of a number that could be somewhat close enough (I would guess! Got the method name now? Lol) and adjust until I got my answer right.

I have a problem of eating to much chods,what can help me stop?
vagabundo [1.1K]
If you mean carbs, then you don't eat as much pasta and bread and stuff like that. So practically, all of the good stuff. Use techniques. Tell yourself that it will make you thinner if you don't eat it. I also tell myself that I am stronger than this and that food shouldn't control me. It might or might not work for you.

Hope I could help!
