Characteristic properties can be used to describe and identify the substances, while non-characteristic properties, although can be used to describe the substances, cannot be used to identify them.
Temperature, mass, color, shape and volume are examples of non-characteristic properties.
Density, boiling point, melting point, chemical reactivity are examples of characteristic properties.
List of the properties observed by the scientist:

Answer: Option D) covalent bonds between water molecules
In water, hydrogen bonds are best described as covalent bonds between water molecules
Explanation:
The hydrogen bonds between water molecules are covalent bonds because they are formed when oxygen attract the lone electron in hydrogen, thus resulting in the formation of a partially negative charge on the oxygen atom and a partially positive charge on two hydrogen atoms
Thus, the sharing of electrons between oxygen and hydrogen atoms is responsible for the covalent bonds between water molecules
Answer:
C. fluorine (F) and chlorine (Cl)
D. arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb)
Explanation:
In the periodic table , all the elements are arranged according to the atomic number ,
and the elements are placed in groups and periods ,
The elements with similar chemical and physical properties are placed in a common group .
The elements present in the same group have the same number of valence electrons in the valence shell .
Hence , from the given options ,
fluorine (F) and chlorine (Cl) belongs to group 17 with 7 valence electrons in the outermost shell .
arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) belong to group 15 with 3 valence electrons in the outermost shell .
There is this thing called isotopes
it means that atoms of the same element can have a different number of neutrons.
if there is a change in the no. of neutrons, there will definitely be a change in the mass number.
so the answer is A) mass number
