Answer: C. High surface tension

Explanation:

Water has high specific heat as it require high heat to raise the temperature of 1 g of water through $1^0C$ .

Surface tension is the net downward force acting on the surface of liquids due to the cohesive nature of liquids.

Water molecules are bonded by strong hydrogen bonding between the hydrogen atom and the electronegative oxygen atom making it polar. Thus water molecules present on the surface are strongly attracted by the molecules present below the surface and thus act as a stretched membrane.

The surface acquires a minimum surface are and thus acquire a spherical shape.

Round off the following number to 3 digits 34,560

Vikki [24]

Answer:

3.46x10⁴

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can see that the number 34,560 has five significant figures, it means that if we want to write it with three, we must take the 3, 4 and 5 only. Nevertheless, since the 6 after the five is greater than 5, we can round such five to 6, so we obtain:

346

However, the decimal places cannot get lost, therefore, we move the given thousand to the three, so the number turns out:

3.46x10⁴

Best regards.

Francium is the most reactive element in Group 1.

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Francium is hypothesized to be the most reactive metal, but so little of it exists or can be synthesized, and the longest half-life of its most abundant isotope is 22.00 minutes, so that its reactivity cannot be determined experimentally.

Explanation:

Francium is an alkali metal in group 1/IA. All alkali metals have one valence electron. As you go down the group, the number of electron energy levels increases – lithium has two, sodium has three, etc..., as indicated by the period number. The result is that the outermost electron gets further from the nucleus. The attraction from the positive nucleus to the negative electron is less. This makes it easier to remove the electron and makes the atom more reactive.

Experimentally speaking, cesium (caesium) is the most reactive metal.
