Answer: B (Items with densities lower than water will sink due to surface tension)
Explanation:
Surface tension is an intermolecular force exerted on the surface of water making it like a stretch elastic skin. Surface tension enables items with lesser densities than water, to float and slide on a water surface. Examples insects, leaves, paper etc
According to Archimedes principle an object denser than the fluid will sink. While objects less dense than the fluid will float.
Answer is (B) is false because items with densities higher then water will sink due to surface tension
Some elements have isotopes which have a different number of neutrons, and this means they have different masses.
Answer Choice: C
Explanation: Mendeleev is best known for publishing the first periodic table of elements in 1869, revolutionizing the world's understanding of physics and chemistry; and, really almost every aspect of science.
Answer:
A balanced chemical equation must always include coefficients on every reactant and product.
Explanation:
<u>A balanced chemical equation does not need to include coefficients on every reactant and product.</u>
For example, below is a balanced chemical equation in which the reactants and the products have no coefficients whatsoever:
NaOH(aq) + HCl (aq) -----> NaCl (s) + H2O (l)
<em>Of course, a properly written chemical equation must include the states of matter of all the substances in the reaction and the number of atoms of each element must balance both in the reactant and product sides of the equation. Generally, a balanced chemical equation must obey the law of conservation of matter which opines that matter can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be converted from one form to another. </em>
Hence, that a balanced chemical equation must always include coefficients on every reactant and product is not true.
