Hey there,

Your question states: Why is ice less dense than liquid water?
There reason why Ice is less dense than liquid is because ice has compact molecules that are tight together and they stay still. But as for water, those molecules are lose and they are more free than ice.

Hope this helps.

The answer is: Ice expands (volume is increasing) when it freezes, because of hydrogen bonds.

When molecule frezes, it lose energy. When molecules are far apart, it means the volume is greater and it expands.

For example, ice expands when water is freezing.

Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen atom (H), covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as flourine (F), oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N) atoms.

Answer is: <span>The reaction will not be spontaneous at any temperature.

</span>

<span>Gibbs free energy (G) determines if reaction will proceed spontaneously.
ΔG = ΔH - T·ΔS.
ΔG - changes in Gibbs free energy.
ΔH - changes in enthalpy.
ΔS - changes in entropy.
T is temperature in Kelvins.
When ΔS < 0 (negative entropy change) and ΔH > 0 (endothermic reaction), the process is never spontaneous (ΔG> 0).</span>

2. Which of the following accurately pairs
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

C. Electron-negative charge

Explanation:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol= e⁻

Mass= 9.10938356×10³¹Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

He constructed the glass tube and create vacuum in it. He applied electric current between electrodes. He noticed that a ray of particles coming from cathode to wards positively charged anode. This ray was cathode ray.

Properties of cathode ray:

The ray is travel in straight line.

The cathode ray is independent of composition of cathode.

When electric field is applied cathode ray is deflected towards the positively charged plate.

Hence it was consist of negatively charged particles.

While neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Symbol of proton= P⁺

Symbol of neutron= n⁰

Mass of proton = 1.672623×10⁻²⁷ Kg

Mass of neutron = 1.674929×10⁻²⁷ Kg

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom.

andre [41]

Answer:

Because the number of neutrons is different, the mass number is different. Isotopes are written in two different ways. They can be written using their symbol with the mass number (to the upper left) and atomic number (to the lower left) or the isotope name is written with a dash and the mass number

Explanation:

I don't know the answer but I am sure this will help you out.
