Water has highest surface tension

Answer: Option (c) is correct

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are molecules present in every liquid. Attachment of these molecules with each other gives rise to surface tension. It is the result of intermolecular forces. It is due to surface tension the insects float on a liquid.

The water has the highest surface tension. it is because molecules present on the surface of the water are held together by very strong hydrogen bonds. There is high attraction among the molecules of water.

Water is capable of dissolving a variety of different substances, which is why it is such a good solvent. it is often called the
Tema [17]

Water is often referred as a <span>universal solvent </span>because it is capable dissolving much more solutes as compared to any other solvent.  This is because, water is a high polar molecule. In water, H has partial positive charge while O has partial negative charge. 


Due to this, water favors dissociation of molecules into positively and negatively charged ions. Positively charge ions gets attracted  towards oxygen i.e. negatively charges, while negatively charged ions get attracted towards positive end of water molecule. 


However, it is worth nothing that, despite water being referred as universal solvent, many compounds are insoluble or partially soluble in water. For instance, most of the hydroxide displays poor solubility in water.

joja [24]

Answer:The Peruvian west coast bordering the Pacific Ocean is a long desert strip that stretches from the departments of Tumbes in the north bordering Ecuador, to Tacna in the south bordering Chile for a total length of 1,555 miles or 2,500 km. The average temperature from December to April is 25 to 28C or 53 to 59F and the average temperature from May to November is 12 to 15C or 53 to 59F.

The coast covers about 10% of the territory but is home to more than 50% of the population. Large cities such as Lima, the capital, Trujillo, Chiclayo and Tacna are located in the coast. Cities along the coast are the center of economic activity attracting people from the interior of the country looking for economic prosperity.

The total number of the elements above with 2 valence electron is ____.
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

four elements

Explanation:

He = 1s²

Be = 1s² 2s²

C = 1s² 2s² 2p²

Mg = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

Si = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p²

Ca = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s²

Valence electrons are those electrons which are present in outer most electronic shell.

He, Be, Mg, Ca these four elements have 2 valence electrons.

While Si and C have four valance electrons.
