Water's unique properties, including its high heat capacity, high density, high boiling point and a solid phase that is less den

se than its liquid phase, can best be attributed to:______
A) Its formula, H2O.
B) The covalent oxygen-hydrogen bonds in the molecule.

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As the chemical formula of water is H_{2}O and due to the difference in electronegativity of hydrogen and oxygen atom there is formation of partial positive charge on hydrogen and partial negative charge on oxygen atom.

As a result, polarity arises on water molecule.

Also, there exists hydrogen bonding between molecules of water which is also responsible for providing unique properties to water.

Thus, we can conclude that water's unique properties, including its high heat capacity, high density, high boiling point and a solid phase that is less dense than its liquid phase, can best be attributed to the polarity of the molecule and hydrogen bonding between the molecules.

Products made of plastic can last a very long time. Explain both the positive and negative effects of plastic being long-lasting
Vinil7 [7]
Because plastic products are durable, they can last for a long time. This makes them affordable because they do not have to be replaced often. On the other hand, the popular use of plastics means that many plastics are thrown away. Plastics litter the ocean, causing harm to marine birds and mammals. Plastic breaks down into plastic dust, which can last for up to a thousand years.
