Answer:
Water has strong hydrogen bonds between molecules. These bonds require a lot of energy before they will break. This leads to water having a higher boiling point than if there were only weaker dipole-dipole forces. Water also has a high specific heat.

Answer:
d. 1600 calories
Explanation:
The heat of fusion of water, L, is the amount of heat per gram required to melt the ice to water, a process which takes place at a constant temperature of 0 °C. The specific heat of water, c, is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius.
We will convert the units of c from Jg⁻¹°C⁻¹ to cal·g⁻¹°C⁻¹ since the answers are provided in calories. The conversion factor is 4.18 J/cal.
(4.18 Jg⁻¹°C⁻¹)(cal/4.18J) = 1 cal·g⁻¹°C⁻¹
First we calculate the heat required to melt the ice, where M is the mass:
Q = ML = (15 g)(80 cal/g) = 1200 cal
Then, we calculate the heat required to raise the temperature of water from 0 °C to 25 °C.
Q = mcΔt = (15 g)(1 cal·g⁻¹°C⁻¹)(25 °C - 0 °C) = 380 cal
The answer is rounded so that there are two significant figures
The total heat required for this process is (1200 cal + 380 cal) = 1580 cal
The rounded answer is 1600 calories.
Answer:
Examples: Si, B, Ge, Sb, Ga
Explanation:
The majority of elements in the periodic table are classified as either a metal (a species that can lose electrons to become a cation) or a non-metal (a species that can gain electrons to become an anion).
However, there are several atoms which are considered to be metalloids. Metalloids are elements which possess properties that resemble both metals and non-metals. Examples of metalloids would be: silicon (Si), boron (B), germanium (Ge), antimony (Sb), gallium (Ga).
Since metalloids have properties of both metals and non-metals, they are widely used in semiconductors, as they might both donate and accept electrons in their shells.
