Answer: B. Water molecules slow down until they begin to bond together.

Explanation: When water is cooled, energy is removed from the system, and the molecules begin to slow down. When the molecules have slowed suciently, their collisions are no longer energetic enough to overcome their electrostatic attraction, and they begin to bond together. The other answer choices are inaccurate. Since ice is less dense than water, high pressure compresses the ice and actually causes it to melt. (Compression has no effect on water volume.) Cooling has no effect on the shape of individual water molecules.

A neutron is combined in a nuclear reaction with a proton to make a heavy hydrogen nucleus. This nucleus then acquires _____ ele

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

This nucleus then acquires <u><em>one </em></u>electron to become electrically neutral.

Explanation:

Fusion :It is nuclear reaction which two or more than smaller nuclei combines together to form heavy nuclear.

A neutron combines with proton in order to make heavy electron that is fusion reaction is taking place.

$^{1}\textrm{n}+^{1}_{1}\textrm{H}\rightarrow ^{2}_1\textrm{H}+$

The overall charge in the nucleus will be +1.And in order to neutralize this positive charge the nucleus will acquire single electron to become electrically neutral.
