Answer:

Decomposition and Synthesis

Explanation:

The reaction of decomposition and synthesis are two of the important reaction. The decomposition reaction is usually defined as the reaction by which a bigger compound (molecule) is broken into smaller molecules. For example:

2KNO₃ ------> K₂O + N₂O + O₂

On the other hand,  the synthesis reaction is defined as the reaction that accumulates smaller molecules and transforms into a larger compound (molecule). For example:

K₂O + N₂O + O₂ -------> 2KNO₃

Thus, the correct answers are options (B) and (D), i.e. Decomposition and Synthesis.

Hydrogen bonds give water which of the following properties? 1. high pH low pH the ability to resist temperature changes 2. the
Furkat [3]

Answer:

3. into ice, which is denser than liquid water.

Explanation:

Water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds. The bonding is usually between the hydrogen atoms of one water molecules, and oxygen atom of neighboring  water molecules. Structurally,  both oxygen and  hydrogen atoms  pulls the electon towards themselves.Thus both atoms share   electron by covalent bonding.

However, because oxygen  has a strong positively charged nucleus it pulls the electron more to itself than oxygen. Thus oxygen is partially negative and oxygen is partially positive. This interactions take place among  all the oxygen and hydrogen atoms in water molecules. . The unequal charge distributions is called dipole and the attraction between oxygen and hydrogen is called  hydrogen bonding .

The  orientation of hydrogen and oxygen molecules from dipole -dipole  interactions of hydrogen bonding makes the  oxygen and hydrogen atoms in ice to be pushed apart well spaced out in ice, making them less dense than liquid  water  where they were aggregated.  Thus from the question option C is correct.

il63 [147K]

Answer: B

Explanation:

The nutrients that wash off of the continents (waste products, sediment) are often rich in essential minerals to plankton and other microscopic aquatic life, which in turn are the base of the marine food chain.

Tsunamis are too infrequent and do not dredge up any sediment most of the time, and C is not correct because nutrients don't just rain from the sky.
