When Water freezes or begin to freeze, it molecules start to slow down enough that their attraction arrange into one shape till they melt again.
Two types of chemical bonds common in compounds are covalent bonds and ionic bonds. The elements in any compound are always present in fixed ratios. Example 1: Pure water is a compound made from two elements - hydrogen<span> and </span>oxygen<span>.</span>
Chemical properties of elements are primarily determined by the electrons but not by neutrons. Therefore, the isotopes of the same element have similar chemical behavior. (a) The atomic number is 17, so there are 17 protons and 17 electrons. The mass number is 35, so there are 18 (=35-17) neutrons. Hope this helps. :)
