Answer: ice is less dense than liquid water. If ice was more dense, Earth would freeze.
Explanation: There are many reasons why life on Earth depends on the characteristics of water. One could discuss hydrogen bonds and its role as a solvent, but the unusual property of water is is the change in density with change in temperature. Water is densest at 4 degC, which is why ice floats - it is less dense than cold water (it melts quickly in warm water, so density isn’t impotant at higher temperatures). Most liquids are less dense than the solid, frozen form. If this was the case with water, any ice that formed would sink, and sease would freeze from the bottom up. Furthermore, the lowest layers would be insulated and would not all melt in summer. Thus over time, the seas would become a thin layer of liquid water at best, over solid ice. Life could not develop without liquid seas. In addition, ice is reflective, reducing the amount of sunlight absorbed, further reducing temperatures. Without ocean circulation, polar areas would be even colder, and there would be no rain.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
This is the only reaction where a element is displaced out of a solution and turn a soild, due to it been less reactive than the other causing its displacement The electrochemical series can be used as reference.
Explanation:
The atoms of one element differs from the atoms of other elements in terms of the number of protons they contain. This is often taken as the atomic number of such an atom.
- The number of proton is the best indicator of the atom one is dealing with.
- Based on this number, elements are categorized into distinct columns and rows on the periodic table.
- The atomic number is the number of protons or positively charge particles in the atom.
II.
It is possible to change the identity of an atom. This is only possible by altering the atomic number of the atom.
Only nuclear reactions have this capability.
When an atom undergoes nuclear reaction that involves change in number of protons, transmutation occurs and a new atom forms.
You would look at the reactants and try to get the other side to have abou the same number of elements.
