Water is one of the few substances which expand in volume when frozen, compared to liquid. Usually substances condense when cooled, but at the point of freezing, when liquid water becomes solid ice, the molecules lock into a matrix in which there is more space between molecules - ice expands! This is why ice floats on liquid water.
It is this miracle which has shaped the planet and allowed life to thrive. Expansion of ice is responsible for much land-shaping erosion on land, the heaving off of boulders from mountain tops. And the floating of ice on lakes, rivers and oceans - if the frozen water was indeed more dense than liquid water, it would sink and pile up in the cold depths. There would be no life thriving under the ice, overwintering. It would all eventually freeze solid, and all the life forms with it.
Answer:
3 protons and also 3 electrons
Explanation:
z=p=e
When
1-Bromopropane is treated with
methoxide it undergoes
SN² Reaction. The product formed is
Methyl Propyl Ether. This type of reaction is very important in synthesizing
Asymmetric ethers. The alkoxides are oftenly generated by reacting Alcohols with sodium metal, which on elimination of Hydrogen gas produces corresponding alkoxide. The reaction of given statement is as follow,
Science is constantly changing as new things are always being discovered, therefore "it is consistent and does not need to change with new discoveries" is false.
