is made of a metal that is denser than water. This is due to water's surface tension. Water has several very unique properties, like surface tension, cohesion, and adhesion because water

Answer: Water is polar and every water molecule electrically attracts the neighboring water molecules

Explanation:

The water molecules are polar molecules and attract the neighboring water molecules, this property of water is known as surface tension.

This property allows the substances to float on the water surface. One water molecule gets attracted towards the other molecule. This is due to the property of hydrogen bonding.

Water is a polar molecule and attracts the substances like that only.The metal clip will float on water before of strong bonding between the water molecules.

Which of these species is not an acidic oxide?
lesantik [10]

d. CO (carbon monoxide) is not an acidic oxide.

Acidic oxides are those oxides which either act as acceptors of the hydroxide ions (OH-) and function as a Lewis acid or they produce an acidic solution when added to water. Examples of acidic oxides are P4O10 (Phosphorus pentoxide), P4O6 (Tetraphosphorus hexaoxide), SO3 (Sulfur trioxide), SiO2 (Silicon dioxide) etc.

Neutral oxides do not show either of the basic or acidic properties. Due to this fact, they do not form salts when they react with acids or bases. Examples of neutral oxides include CO (carbon monoxide), NO (Nitric oxide), N2O (Nitrous oxide) etc.

Hence, option d is correct.

Explain how biodiversity is affected by natural selection
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Biodiversity is the variety of different species of organisms on Earth, or within an ecosystem.  High biodiversity is important. It make sure that ecosystems are stable becuase different species depend on each other for things like shelter and fodd. Different species can also help to maintain the right physical environment for each other (e.g. the acidity of the soil.)
