Water has special characteristics because of the nature of hydrogen bonds what are they?

1 answer:

5 0

Water has special characteristics because liquid water is denser than ice and ice floats on top of liquid water.

Answer: Option A & D

Explanation:

A water molecule is formed by the covalent bonding between two atoms of Hydrogen atom with one atom of Oxygen. In water, the Hydrogen bonds are the one that keeps the water molecule intact.

When the water molecule freezes the bonding becomes weak as they are separated and set apart which makes the liquid water denser than ice. Normally a substance floats if it is less dense. Ice floats because it is less dense than water.

Answer:

None of the questions asked can be answered completely from the graph provided

Reason

1) Which source of electricity generation caused the most emissions?: The graph does provide the information of greenhouse gas emission from different sectors like electricity, transport, industry, agriculture, commercial and residential. Electricity can be generated from several sources like hydrothermal, nuclear, etc. However, information of how these sources contributes towards greenhouse gas emission via electricity sector is not provided in graph

2) What types of industries are responsible for greenhouse gas emissions?: The graph does provides the information about total greenhouse gas emissions from industries. However, individual contribution from different types of industries cannot be answered.

3) Which natural sources of greenhouse gas emissions are shown here?: The graph provides information about greenhouse gases emission only due to human activity like electricity generation, agriculture, etc. and not from natural sources.

4) Why is agriculture the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions?: The reason for largest emission of greenhouse gas due to agriculture cannot be answer from information provided.

5) What caused the dip in greenhouse gas emissions in transportation after 2007?: The reason for dip in greenhouse gas in transportation cannot be answer from information provided.
