The answer which best explains why water is able to "stick" to the side of glass is the following one - <span>Strong adhesive forces exist between glass and the water molecules.</span>

4 0

Explanation:

Adhesion means the ability to stick on the surface of another substance.

Water exhibits adhesive forces due to which it is able to stick to the glass.  Due to adhesive forces water spreads over the surface of glass and sticks to it.

These adhesive forces between the glass and water enough that it deforms the spherical shape of water molecules and help them stick to the surface of glass. As a result, adhesive forces overcome the repulsion between like molecules.

Hence, water is able to “stick” to the side of glass due to strong adhesive forces.

GREYUIT [131]

If one of the waste products of cellular respiration is CO2 by means of exhaling, then the rate of cellular respiration increased.

<h3>What is Cellular respiration?</h3>

This consists of series of reactions which combine the chemical energy from foodstuffs and oxygen to form ATP and other waste products such as carbon dioxide and water.

During this process, the carbon dioxide is transported from the mitochondria out of the cell, to the red blood cells, and to the lungs where they are exhaled.

This therefore depicts that the cellular respiration increased as a result of the carbon dioxide given off via exhalation and thereby makes it the correct choice.

malfutka [58]

Answer:

Hydrogen Bonding

Explanation:

Formaldehyde, H2CO, has an oxygen atom which is quite electronegative that means it would attract any atom with a slightly positive charge. Hydrogen in the Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is attracted by oxygen and hence hydrogen bonding can occur.

How many of each subatomic particle type does each of the following atoms contain: a. 90_Ag b. barium-132
Kryger [21]

<u>Answer:</u> Silver has 47 electrons, 47 protons and 43 neutrons. Barium has 56 electrons, 56 protons and 76 neutrons.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

  • <u>For Silver:</u>

Atomic number = 47

Mass number = 90

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 47

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number = 90 - 47 = 43

Hence, silver has 47 electrons, 47 protons and 43 neutrons.

  • <u>For Barium:</u>

Atomic number = 56

Mass number = 132

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 56

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number = 132 - 56 = 76

Hence, barium has 56 electrons, 56 protons and 76 neutrons.
