If water was nonpolar, life as it exists now would be impossible. Water is the means by which ionic substances ( Fe^3+, Na^+, Ca^2+, K^+, etc) and polar molecules are distributed around and in the cells of organisms. 
<span>Water is a major contributor to erosion of mountains because of its polar nature. It is able to dissolve almost all minerals because of its attraction for the positive and negative parts of the minerals that it encounters. </span>
<span>If it was nonpolar, it would not exist in the solid and liquid state on earth. It is the attraction of the oppositely charged ends of different water molecules that makes it assume the liquid and solid state under the temperature ranges found on earth.</span>

Your question has been heard loud and clear.

Both scientific laws and scientific theories are not based on hypothesis.

Because , scientific laws are proven and so they are real not hypothetical.

In the article, Invasion of the Periodical Cicadas, why do scienctists believe that cicadas only reproduce every 13 or 17 years?
frez [133]

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the article found on the Scientific American website.

Explanation:

<em>Remember,</em> according to that article we are told that scientists notice that these insects have a long nymphal (immature form before becoming adults) stage, one that can last up to 13 to 17 years on the ground before they leave the ground looking for mating partners.

Because it is only after mating occurs at this point that their eggs are laid, that is why scientists believe that cicadas only reproduce every 13 or 17 years.
