Water has a higher boiling point than expected because of the attractions between molecules.

Evaporation occurs when water molecules on the surface gain enough energy to enter the atmosphere. However, stronger intermolecular forces between water molecules cause them to be strongly attracted to each other and to tend to stay in the liquid phase. When the temperature is raised (when heat is applied), more molecules gain the energy needed to escape these intermolecular forces and go into the vapor phase.
Therefore the best answer is D.

zysi [14]

Explanation:

When carbon atom tends to form single bonds then its hybridization is $sp^{3}$ , when carbon atom tends to form double bond then its hybridization is $sp^{2}$ and when a carbon atom is attached to a triple bond or with two double bonds then its hydridization is sp.

For example, in HCN molecule there is a triple existing between the carbon and nitrogen atom.

So, hybridization of carbon in this molecules is sp. Moreover, nitrogen atom is also attached via triple bond and it also has a lone pair of electrons. Hence, the hybridization of nitrogen atom is also sp.

Thus, we can conclude that s and p type of orbitals overlap to form the sigma bond between C and N in H−C≡N:

Are Zombies Living or Non-living Reasoning and Evidence?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

I believe that zombies are not living

Explanation:

because zombies don't grow and develop because they are practically mindless. Also, zombies definitely respond to the environment (like when they see a human) but they don't adapt to it
