The water molecule is composed of two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen. Hydrogen and oxygen have very different electronegativities: oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, oxygen can attract more shared electrons in a covalent bond. When a water molecule is very close to other water molecules, specific interactions between a hydrogen in a molecule and the oxygen in the nearby molecule are established, forming a very strong type of union known as a hydrogen bond. This makes water have different qualities, such as high solvent capacity, high specific heat, high heat of vaporization, great cohesion and adhesion.

Which scientist showed that organisms do not grow spontaneously in beef broth?
QveST [7]

Answer:

Louis Pasteur.

Explanation:

Louis Pasteur gave theory of spontaneous generation that states, life arose from non-living things. Pasteur disprove the theory of spontaneous generation by S-shaped tube experiment.

He used swan-neck shaped flasks (twisted necks) and filled the flasks with sterilized beef broth.  Due to twisted neck, entry of air was allowed to the flasks from outside, but not microorganisms.

In these sterilized flasks, microorganisms could not grow as entry of airborne microbes was prevented. But if the necks of flasks were broken,  growth of microorganisms entered into flasks and showed growth.

Thus, Louis Pasteur showed that microorganisms do not grow spontaneously in flasks with beef broth.
