Answer: ice is less dense than liquid water. If ice was more dense, Earth would freeze.

Explanation: There are many reasons why life on Earth depends on the characteristics of water. One could discuss hydrogen bonds and its role as a solvent, but the unusual property of water is is the change in density with change in temperature. Water is densest at 4 degC, which is why ice floats - it is less dense than cold water (it melts quickly in warm water, so density isn’t impotant at higher temperatures). Most liquids are less dense than the solid, frozen form. If this was the case with water, any ice that formed would sink, and sease would freeze from the bottom up. Furthermore, the lowest layers would be insulated and would not all melt in summer. Thus over time, the seas would become a thin layer of liquid water at best, over solid ice. Life could not develop without liquid seas. In addition, ice is reflective, reducing the amount of sunlight absorbed, further reducing temperatures. Without ocean circulation, polar areas would be even colder, and there would be no rain.

7. The tendency of sound waves to bend when they pass from one medium to a different medium is known as A. refraction C. resonan
ahrayia [7]

The tendency of sound waves to bend when they pass from one medium to a different medium is known a refraction.

<h3>What is refraction ?</h3>

In diffraction, a sound wave is bent or stretched out in a single medium where the sound speed remains constant. Refraction is a crucial instance in which sound waves arc or diffuse. Due to variations in the wave's speed, a sound wave bends in this occurrence.

A wave bends as it travels along the edge of an object or through an aperture. It is referred to as diffraction. When a wave transitions from one medium to another at an angle, it also bends. It's known as refraction.

Thus, The option A is correct.

What is the predicted outcome for very low mass stars (those that are smaller than about the mass of the sun)?
White raven [17]

Answer:

In case of low-mass stars,the outer layers of the low mass stars are expelled  as the core collapses such that the outer layers form a planetary nebula.

Explanation:

In case of low-mass stars,the outer layers of the low mass stars are expelled  as the core collapses such that the outer layers form a planetary nebula. The core remains as a white dwarf and finally become a black dwarf as it cools down. A low mass star consumes its core hydrogen and turns it into helium over its lifetime.

Explain how the atom is electrically neutral, having an equal number of protons and electrons.
lord [1]

Answer:

A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other and atom become neutral.

Explanation:

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. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other and atom become neutral. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

For example

The carbon have six protons and six neutrons so its atomic mass is 12 amu and atomic number is six.
