High surface tension because of the attraction between water molecules helps bugs walk on the surface of the water.

<h3>How does surface tension help insects walk on water surface?</h3>

Surface tension is important for insects that walk on water. They would sink without it. When compared to air molecules, water molecules are more strongly attracted to one another. Due to cohesion, this makes them attract and cling to one another strongly in a body of water. The water molecules between the molecules at the water's surface are more strongly attracted to one another because they do not have water molecules surrounding them on all sides.

As a result, there is an inward force that forms a "film" at the surface and causes the water to act as though a thin membrane were covering it. Surface tension is the term for this phenomena.

Surface tension can be used to the advantage of some insect and spider species. They don't break the water's surface when they stand on it because their negligible weight is insufficient to dissipate the force of surface tension. Instead, they make dimples or indentations in the surface with their feet, which rebound to move the insect ahead. This enables them to move swiftly over ponds, lakes, and rivers in search of prey.

You are given both the energy level,  n  =  4, and the subshell, l = 3  on which the electrons reside.

The subshell is given to you by the angular momentum quantum number,  l  which can take value that ranges from  0  to  n  −  1

l  =  0  →  the s-subshell

l  =  1  →  the p-subshell

l  =  2  →  the d-subshell

l  =  3  →   the f-subshell

<u>For n = 4 and l = 3, ml can be -3, -2, -1, 0, +2, +2, and +3. </u>

<u>Each of these can have 2 electrons (+1/2 and -1/2 spin) for a total of 14 electrons.</u>

\al(s) + 3agno3(aq) → al(no3)3(aq) + 3ag(s) this equation represents which type of chemical reaction?
Savatey [412]
 Al(s)  + 2AgNO3(aq) = Al(NO3)3(aq) + 3 Ag (s) 


is a  single  replacement reaction

 A  single  replacement  reaction  is a type  of chemical reaction were element react with a compound  and  the element take  place  of another element in that  compound.  In the reaction above Aluminium  (Al) take the place of  silver (Ag)  from it compound.that is AgNO3. single  replacement reaction is possible because  aluminium   is  in high in reactivity   series    as compared to silver.
