The properties are:-

1. Water is polar. Water molecules are polar, with partial positive charges on the hydrogens, a partial negative charge on the oxygen, and a bent overall structure. This is because oxygen is more electronegative, meaning that it is better than hydrogen at attracting electrons.

2. Water is an excellent solvent. Water has the unique ability to dissolve many polar and ionic substances. This is important to all living things because, as water travels through the water cycle, it takes many valuable nutrients along with it!

3. Water has high heat capacity. It takes a lot of energy to raise the temperature of a certain amount of water by a degree, so water helps with regulating temperature in the environment. For example, this property allows the temperature of water in a pond to stay relatively constant from day to night, regardless of the changing atmospheric temperature.

4. Water has high heat of vaporization. Humans (and other animals that sweat) use water’s high heat of vaporization to cool off. Water is converted from its liquid form to steam when the heat of vaporization is reached. Since sweat is made mostly of water, the evaporating water absorbs excess body heat, which is released into the atmosphere. This is known as evaporative cooling.

2. What does the atomic model teach you about the ability of scientists to
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The atomic model is our understanding of how the atom is structured. At one point in history, people believed that any substance was simply made of that substance and would retain that property no matter how small a quantity it was reduced to. Later, some argued that all matter was made of tiny particles called atoms. While this is correct, later researchers found that even the atoms were made of smaller particles called electron, protons, and neutrons. More recently, scientists have discovered quarks, tiny particles that makeup protons and neutrons.

None of the bove. Soil erosion occurs due to deforestation, water, wind and tillage of the land farms. It is the removal of the top layer of the soil, and leads to poorer quality of soil, called a soil disruption. This can be avoided by using proper farming techniques and afforestation.
