Water is called the "universal solvent" because it is capable of dissolving more substances than any other liquid. This is important to every living thing on earth. It means that wherever water goes, either through the air, the ground, or through our bodies, it takes along valuable chemicals, minerals, and nutrients.
The following statements from the paragraph are true. Protons have a mass that contributes significantly to the mass of the atomic nucleus. Neutrons have a mass that contributes significantly to the mass of the atomic nucleus. Electrons have a very low mass and are not found in the nucleus but instead are found in surrounding orbits.
Answer:
The correct answer is option c.
Explanation:
Alkanes with higher molecular mass has higher boiling point.
Thisis because when the molar mass of the alkanes increases the the surface area increases with which van der Waals forces between the molecules of alkane also increase which increases the association of the molecules of with each other which results in increase in boiling point is observed.
The increasing order of the molar mass of the given alkanes;

So out of ethane, pentane and heptane . Heptane has highest molecular mass with higher boiling point value. Where as ethane have the lowest value of boiling point.
Explanation
Radius of neon atom : 69 pm = 
Volume occupied by the one atom:

given that
atoms are present in 1L
1 L = 0.001 
The volume occupied by the
neon atoms

Fraction of volume occupied by the neon atom:


The fraction of of volume occupied by the neon atom is very less than the 1 L which indicates the presence of large amount of empty space between the atoms of the gas.
